13/3/2015 Friday : Meals of the Day

Happy Friday and good morning dear all~

Every time I eat Ho Fun "河粉" / Chee Cheong Fun "猪肠粉", my 19mo will request to eat too, then I will give her a little bit plain one. But hubby doesn't like her to eat that so much as it's containing preservatives.

One day, I saw a post shared by other mummy regarding the homemade Ho Fun, I immediately save the post and planned to make it one day for my gal.
