Mee Sua with Sesame Oil Chicken Broth

Early this year, I went to Taiwan for a 11 days free and easy tour. I have tried a lot of food over there and Sesame Oil Chicken Mee Sua is one of the food that I have tried in Taiwan that I cannot forget the taste. Hence, I took the chance to experience to cook this dish based on my memory of the taste. This is the 1st time I tried and it really taste not bad. This recipe is catered for mee sua hence it may not taste as good if it is to go with rice. The best way to eat this dish is to scoop some chicken broth into the mee sua to savour the taste of the sesame oil chicken broth mee sua.
