FollowThey say that the forbidden apple always taste real good. I think it’s so true. I rarely allow my kids to eat instant noodles and even if I were to cook instant noodles, it would be without the seasoning powder and oil. I would normally fry the noodles with lots of veggie, eggs and meat. Each time Alycia and Sherilyn see kakak eating maggie mee (they call instant noodles ‘maggie mee’), they would stand next to her with eyes fixated at her bowl of curry maggie mee, swallowing their saliva and discreetly plead with kakak to let them have a spoonful or two. My maid would give in to their requests though I’ve told her repeatedly never to feed them with food from the plate that she’s eating. After satisfying her desire, Alycia would tell me out of guilt that kakak had given her a spoonful of maggie mee. Sometimes she would keep it from me but I would find out eventually when I see a strand or two of noodles at the corner of their mouth.
Several days ago, I finally cooked them maggie mee for lunch… but I only used a quarter sachet of the seasoning and oil. Daddy had bought a few packets of MSG-free instant noodles imported from Korea for himself.
I threw in lots of cabbage so that the soup will be sweet even without the complete sachet of seasoning. Also fried them each an egg for extra protein.
My gals’ bowl of instant noodles with fried eggs and watercress chicken soup.
The verdict?
Alycia is fool-proof. She put on a disappointing look and said “mummy, how come this is not kakak’s maggie mee? Why don’t taste like kakak’s maggie mee? I don’t like”.
Sherilyn happily whacked the whole bowl of noodles, together with all the cabbage and gladly asked Alycia to pass over the noodles to her!
Do you allow your kids to eat instant noodles (with the seasoning) ?
