Kimberly Peterson

Hey everyone. Ever since I got back from Malaysia a week ago, I have fallen sick most possibly due to the drastic change in weather.. from a really hot and humid tropical weather in Malaysia, to the first signs of winter in Melbourne. Very windy and very cold… I wasn’t quite ready for that! So due to my illness, I haven’t been cooking as much and thus, I couldn’t blog as much either!

Kimba’s Original Recipe (although you really don’t need a recipe cause it’s so EASY!) Kimba’s Review: The great thing about Fried Bee Hoon is that it is so easy, and so simple, and it is almost ALWAYS a success. You just can’t go wrong! But I suppose there could be some cooks out there who is maybe just not used to Asian cooking and therefore just needs a bit of guidance to get started… so here’s a basic recipe. The rule with Fried Bee Hoon is that there IS no rule. You can add whatever you want to it, and … Continue reading FRIED VERMICELLI / FRIED BEE HOON Recipe
