Bakmi Asui



This morning, I bought noodles from a noodle shop - Bakmi Asui, only 2 blocks from my house. It’s always very crowded especially in the morning. The meat is chicken and we can choose whether we want the breast or thigh part. It's a bit different than the other noodles because they give fresh lettuce and the chili sauce, it’s made from those very hot small green chilies.

    can't really see the noodle cos it's covered up by the chicken meat & lettuce. I presume it tasted nice since u mentioned the place is crowded :)

    An unusual combination was my first thought, but the more I look at it the more I want to try it, especially with the green chili sauce :)
