Hokkien mee refers to fried noodles cooked in Hokkien (Fujian) style. Hokkien mee is served in many Southeast Asian countries (mostly Malaysia and Singapore) and was brought there by immigrants from the Fujian province in southeastern China.
There are two types of Hokkien mee: Hokkien hae mee and Hokkien char mee. Hokkien hae mee (Hokkien prawn noodles) is commonly served in Penang and Singapore while Hokkien char mee (Hokkien fried noodles) is commonly served in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. The dish commonly referred to as "Hokkien mee", depending on the locality, can mean either Hokkien hae mee or Hokkien char mee. For example, Hokkien mee in Kuala Lumpur refers to Hokkien char mee.
Hokkien hae mee (prawn noodles) |
Hokkien char mee (fried noodles) |
Refers to either the Penang prawn noodle or Singapore prawn noodle | Refers to the Kuala Lumpur Hokkien noodle |
Soup based (Penang) and stir fried (Singapore) | Stir fried |
Egg noodles and rice noodles | Fat yellow noodles |
No dark soya sauce used | Dark soya sauce is used |
Prawn is the main ingredient with slices of chicken or pork, squid and fish cake. kangkung (water spinach) is common in the Penang version | Slices of chicken or pork, squid and cabbage |
Strictly speaking, the Penang and Singapore versions of Hokkien mee are two different dishes, except that they are both prawn noodle dishes and share the name "Hokkien." The ingredients and methods of cooking are different, and the Penang version is cooked in soup while the Singapore version is stir fried. In this respect, the dish Hokkien mee can refer to no fewer than three different distinct dishes: Penang Hokkien mee, Singapore Hokkien mee, and Kuala Lumpur Hokkien mee. Penang Hokkien mee is sometimes referred to in Kuala Lumpur as mee yoke, since in Kuala Lumpur, Hokkien mee means Hokkien char mee by default.
Singapore Hokkien hae mee[edit]
Hokkien hae mee (Hokkien prawn noodles; 福建蝦麵) is served in Penang (with a variant served in Singapore and Muar in the southern state of Johor known as Hae mee). It is a dish of egg noodles and rice noodles in a fragrant stock, which is made from both fresh shrimp and dried prawns, as well as pork or chicken. Traditionally, small cubes of fried pork fat are added, but this is now less common and have been substituted with chicken lard due to health concerns. It is garnished with prawns, fish cake, leafy greens, pork ribs, squid, crisp deep-fried shallots, spring onions and fresh lime. The dish is served with sliced red chili, light soy sauce and sambal.
Singapore Hokkien Prawn Mee was created by the post war Hokkien sailors from South China. After working in the factories, they would congregate along Rochor Road and fry excess noodles from the noodle factories over a charcoal stove. Today, this dish is stir-fried with garlic, eggs, soy sauce, yellow noodles, bee hoon, bean sprouts, prawns and squid. A flavourful stock is also essential for a great tasting dish, and is usually made from stewing prawn heads, clams and dried fish. To cook this dish, the noodles are first flooded with stock, stewed for a minute while adding the seafood, then fried till damp. Pork lard is also a vital part of Hokkien Prawn Mee; however, most stalls use less or none of it nowadays as it is deemed as unhealthy. Hokkien mee with no lard can be certified halal so the Malay community can eat it too. Sambal chilli and lime are also standard toppings for this dish, giving it that extra zing and tanginess. Some stalls also serve it on an Opei leaf (soft palm bark), to enhance the fragrance of the dish (http://www.yoursingapore.com/content/traveller/en/browse/dining/signature-dishes/hokkien-prawn-mee.htm)
There is another version of Prawn Noodle in Singapore called Hae Mee which is different from the Singapore Hokkien Hae Mee. Egg noodles are served in richly flavoured dark soup stock with prawns, pork slices, fish cake slices, and bean sprouts topped with fried shallots and spring onion. The stock is made using dried shrimps, plucked heads of prawns, white pepper, garlic and other spices.
Hokkien Char Mee[edit]
Hokkien char mee (Hokkien fried noodles; 福建炒麵) is served in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding region. It is a dish of thick yellow noodles braised in thick dark soy sauce with pork, squid, fish cake and cabbage as the main ingredients and cubes of pork fat fried until crispy (sometimes pork liver is included). The best examples are usually cooked over a raging charcoal fire.

What I'm doing with my life
I'm always up for a new challenge and put a lot into whatever I do.
I'm fortunate to have a great group of friends and family close by.
In the winter we break for a group skiing trip and summer brings
bonfires, festivals, and concerts at the LC. I've been to Mexico,
various spots in the Carribean, and Italy. Would love to go to
Australia and New Zealand.
I'm really good at
home improvement. I like the charm of older homes.
The first things people usually notice about me
is my laugh. I don't take things too seriously.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I'm not an avid reader but when I have time spend it on online
articles. Movies/shows or a lot of tv has never been my thing, even
though I have Netflix and for can't get ride of cable. Football
season, OSU and just about any college/NFL is a great time of
year...yep, I'm a dude. When it comes to food I'll try just about
anything. Some of my favorites are Indian, Mexican, sushi, and
typically non-chain. I have a wide taste in music...80's, pop rap,
country, or folksy.
The six things I could never do without
1. Family and friends
2. A job
3. Vacation
4. Physical activity
5. A smart phone

I spend a lot of time thinking about
the things that I want to accomplish in my professional and
personal life and what I need to do to accomplish them.
On a typical Friday night I am
out with friends, family, or coworkers. This may involve happy
hour, dinner, or a bonfire. Who doesn't like smores? We have our
favorites, like to try new things but also know how to keep things
low key. Game nights keep us sane during the winter.

Keep up to date with news from Walking with the Wounded: the Allied Challenge
For injured service people returning to civilian life following horrific injury, the path is never smooth. Between October 2001 and March 2012, 15,543 people returned from war physically or mentally injured and unable to return to service. The question for them is: what happens next?
Recovery doesn't stop at mending broken limbs or providing mental-health treatment. True rehabilitation means giving service people their lives back and helping them return to employment by equipping them with the skills they need for the workplace.
Walking with the Wounded was established to serve these men and women. Founded in 2010, by Brits Edward Parker and Simon Daglish, the charity is dedicated to funding training programmes and education courses to help wounded service people find employment.
Since its inception, Walking with the Wounded has raised £1.4 million to provide the ongoing support that ex-service workers need to help them go the distance, long after they have left conflict.
"For many, their future outside the Armed Forces is unsure and they face a long road to recovery," explains Parker, co-founder of Walking with the Wounded. "Finding a job must be the priority to secure the income that is vital for their security and that of their family."
War can scar in a variety of ways. A life in the armed forces, followed by a period of recovery, can leave people out of touch with the contemporary workplace and without the relevant skills to get a job. Unemployment can lead to homelessness, meaning people who once served their country can end up sleeping on the streets.
There are around 50,000 former service people currently unemployed, according to ex-armed forces recruitment agency Force Select and in 2011/12, ex-service people counted for 600 of the 6,000 people who slept rough in London, according to homeless charity Crisis.
The money Walking with the Wounded raises – through private donations and events such as the Allied Challenge 2013 (where three teams of wounded ex-servicemen will race to the South Pole) – helps wounded ex-service people to gain relevant qualifications. "Simon and I feel very strongly about showing support for the Armed Forces. It is something that we both feel society should be investing in, as these young people deserve so much from us after the sacrifices they have made," says Parker.
Typically, Walking with the Wounded might fund a course on how to make the most of transferable skills. One such example is Life Works, run by the Royal British Legion, where ex-service people are given advice on how to put together a CV, interview training and advice on how to stand out to employers in a range of trades and professions. The charity might also pay for an NVQ in a specific trade or a place on a mentor scheme. Beneficiaries have gone on to a range of jobs, from helicopter pilot to ski instructor.
The charity is supported by Prince Harry, who is also Expedition Patron of the Allied Challenge 2013. Prince Harry joined the first Walking with the Wounded fundraising expedition to the North Pole in 2011. He said: "Walking with the Wounded continues to champion our extraordinary wounded service personnel and highlight their determination and courage to face future challenges following injury on the battlefield."

This year, H&R Block is doing something special for New Year's Eve.
They're honoring the last baby born in 2013. H&R Block is doing this promotion to raise awareness about child tax credit laws.
They want parents to know that you can claim a child on your 2013 taxes, as long as it's born before midnight on Jan. 1, 2014.
"We just want to highlight the fact that no matter what time a baby is born, it's an important child, and also we want the public to know the law that gives them that deduction," H&R Block Representative Bonnie Deaver said.
H&R Block will give the last child born in 2013 and the child's parents a special gift.
We'll let you know who the recipients are on Wednesday.

Select Route:
DescriptionThe route follows the broken corner on the left side of P-wall up to the beginning of Impacted Stool Crack and then traverses right to the first bolt. I usually run it out to here but if you want protection, bring those hexes or large cams and long slings. After the bolt, the climb follows the crack up to the second bolt. Once clipped, traverse right and then up to the anchors. You can climb straight up after the second bolt but it's 5.10. This is a great route for learing trad and its fun if you continue up on Letterman to the next anchors and then scramble the rest of the way to the top of the peak. ProtectionThere are two bolts along the route and you will need gear starting from small to 2.5" Bring longs slings to extend your first couple pieces otherwise rope drag will have you crying.

When you are governor of Georgia. you quickly learn an essential lesson: Sometimes it's necessary to go to war with the Atlanta media. It's a long-established tradition in state politics.
Again ... another mass shooting. Again ... the shooter is killed. We will never know exactly why he did this awful thing. Apparently he was mentally ill, but that alone is not an explanation.
Dear Syrian rebels: I thought I'd take a minute to correspond with you as you resume your efforts to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. You are no doubt disappointed that the United States government chose not to come to your aid as promised. There is a good reason and that is my purpose in writing you. Although I am not an official of the United States government, I am part of a group known as We the Unwashed. Put the blame squarely on us.
In many states, one of the top policy objectives is to provide a K-12 and college education for as many people as possible in the belief that a well-educated citizenry is good for a state's future well-being.
It is flattering to have readers tell me I should run for public office. There are also an equal number of adoring fans that say I should stick my head in a bucket of tar. But that is a topic for another day.
Life is at times whonkeejawed. Now, this is a term I have heard my entire life. Only recently did I discover that not everyone is familiar with the word "whonkeejawed."
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have failed to produce stable democracies. Both nations are less stable and the common people there arguably worse off now than before our interventions. Americans are rightfully angry about the monetary, physical and emotional costs of these wars especially considering the outcomes.
When you find yourself stuck in a deep hole, the first thing you should do is stop digging.
"Am I my brother's keeper?"
Rats! As if creating this profound and pithy prose each week wasn't hard enough, now I have discovered a legislator with a sense of humor. The apocalypse is upon us.
When he was president, Ronald Reagan could often be heard urging his supporters to "stay the course."
Please indulge me a moment of introspection and feel free to think along with me. Chances are what I am going to say may apply to you as well.
Our state constitution and laws are embedded with provisions that have one simple purpose: to keep politicians and their cronies from looting the public treasury and leaving taxpayers with a mountain of debt.
Opinions - we all have them. I wish I could find some acceptable way to repeat the standard joke about opinions, but this is a respectable family paper. If you don't know what I am talking about, ask a friend.
If public education in Georgia doesn't have enough problems, there is now a high-profile ruckus between Gov. Nathan Deal and State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge. It has gotten so peevish that there is talk that the school superintendent may challenge Deal in the Republican gubernatorial primary next spring.
As predicted in this space a few weeks ago, there is compromise legislation pending in the General Assembly regarding the Common Core curriculum, the controversial program which seeks to establish consistent education standards across the country.
I came of age in the 1970s. Carole King composed the soundtrack to my early college years. And not just mine, it appears. Her 1971 album, "Tapestry" is, even to this day, one of the best-selling albums of all time.
It is getting more and more difficult to exclude people who may look or believe a little differently than you.
It was like deja vu all over again.
The Cherokee County Republican Party has a blurb on its website about Rep. Sam Moore, who won the 22nd District ouse seat earlier this month following the death of veteran lawmaker Calvin Hill. Among other tidbits about Moore are his hobbies, including this: "Playing jokes … watch out. You have been warned!"
It was a spectacle you seldom see during a legislative session.
At one time or another we've all received a survey from an organization or a political campaign.
This, as stated above, is an open letter to the person who stole my jacket. While I don't know who you are exactly, you know who you are (I hope), and if you are the person who stole my jacket and are reading this, this open letter is directed at you (or someone who knows you and will turn you in).

I saw "Exiles" and immediately thought it was news about the upcoming "WildStar" game.
Son, I am disappoint!
Lol - three teams whose bf3 clans were rife with Hackers. Yeah, these guys are so "Pro".
@suplax There are plenty of people who are interested in eSports and keeping up with their local scene.
@Zorine I can back this up, there's a lot of interest in the AU scene ahead of Riot's new office there.

Warren Zevon.
491, thanks.
I suppose I was a little vague. Thanks for using your patented brand of humor to clear that up ;)
I didn't mean it wasn't good, and of course it carries weight. I just don't know that it should. I'm in one of those moods today, though, so don't mind me.
Coffee and milk. Maybe enhanced by a little whiskey.
Depends on who it was, I suppose. Also, how my partner felt about it. I've yet to meet anybody remotely near enough for it to be something to think about, and even if I did, I doubt seriously that we would be interested in such a meeting. On here, I'm a fun, bubbly girl and I try to be an elegant, well spoken gentleman. In reality, I'm a grouchy, awkward curmudgeon who floats aimlessly between masculinity and womanhood and it's a wonder I've found even one person who loves me the way I am. Cheerio.
First, I don't think all of them are.Second, many of the people on here who are asking such questions are much younger than many of us and asking out of a curiosity derived from their lack of experience and minimal array of partners.Third, why does it matter? It's not like you were going to be fucking many of those types anyway, so why not let them ask their silly questions and be answered with only a modicum of sarcasm?As per usual, hugs to all. Sorry I seem grouchy. Just posted on a topic about gay marriage, and you all know how fired up that can get us.
Good for him. Please note however, that it says specifically in the article that he and his wife attended as "private citizens" which is Washington for "THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC STATEMENT!" Now, I still think it's fantastic, but as an extremely queer individual, I'm not sure that it's as big of a deal as many people seem to be making it into. For the record, I'm pan, trans, and poly, but I feel that one man's opinion (no how influential he is or once was) is not as important as it could be. Even (relatively liberal) President Obama isn't willing to give it the support it needs to get any traction in the U.S. House of Representatives, even if it made it in the Senate. That said, as a (sort of, but legally) male who has dated men and been serious about a couple of them, I support the idea of gay marriage, but not in the way you might think.I understand that marriage in this country is a spectacular legal and financial bonus (in terms of survivor benefits, taxes and medical access to name a few) to those who choose to participate in the system, but that comes from the same set of logic that allows you to plead 'no contest' to a charge you can't refute, but take a harsher penalty for not voluntarily admitting your guilt, (By the way, if somebody wants to tell me how that's not a fifth amendment violation, that would be great). It's not that I think that married couples should be discriminated against, but I staunchly believe that people who choose to commit to each other, but not engage in a religiously or legally sanctioned marriage shouldn't be either.It's also obvious to me that if the government can't make something available to everybody, I'd like to see it out of the business altogether, at least until they can. Also, it's worth noting, that under much of the current legislation floating around congress, not even identified bisexual men or women would be eligible to marry same sex partners (since they 'have the option to choose an opposite sex partner') and under none of it would transsexual, transgender, asexual, polyamorous, or otherwise queer individuals be granted any sort of rights. Furthermore, any of those potential laws while granting the right of legally sanctioned marriage to gay and lesbian partners, might specifically and savagely curtail those rights for others.Like I wrote though, good for you, Mr. Bush.
I do!I'll admit I have a somewhat skewed sample, but most people I know, do actually. Men and women. It's not a weird thing. It's understandable to not enjoy it, but I honestly think more people do enjoy it than don't.
Eh. I'll go skinny dipping with pretty much anybody.
That's not a matter any of us can advise you on specifically. Every partner is different. Everyone has different preferences. I think the best advice I can give is to vary your routine. Experiment. Consider other activities besides intercourse (vaginal, anal, oral), but also don't neglect it.
Sparkling guava lemonade.
Lemon and 0.09 saline water. Counteracting the wine from last night.
There are times when I crave the attention of one sex or the other, but generally I'm into either. It's worth noting though that I don't go out looking for it ever, really; also, that I'm pansexual, not bisexual.
I identify myself as none of those things. I know no one who does. What an interesting phenomenon...
I think it's great that everybody here has such a clear grasp that porn is fantasy, and rarely reflects reality in any way. Recorded instances of ejaculating on a partner's body or face in literature and art date back well beyond modern pornography, though. Even Sappho wrote poems on the subject. There are a number of ancient cultures in which such an act was ritualized, or even made part of ceremonies regarding aging, marriage, fertility, and menopause. It's also worth noting from an anthropological standpoint, that these rituals frequently involved several participants, and nearly all had mirrors involving numerous women and few men. From the perspective of behavioral-evolutionary genetics, behaviors and even more complex information are now known to be stored and transmitted from generation to generation much more efficiently than once was, and that transmission is the primary phenomenon of evolution that can be observed at any reasonable rate. The point of all that in this case was that it may not be as simple as assigning those impulses entirely to the evil influences of pornography.Now, from the standpoint of a woman who spent much of her life under the mistaken impression that she was male, I have enjoyed this action from both sides, and with both sexes. I like getting it on my face or having a guy cum on my almost anywhere. The notable exception is my hair, but I don't freak out if some gets in there incidentally during a facial. Conversely, I also thoroughly enjoy the experience of ejaculating on a beautiful face, ass, set of breasts, stomach, back, hands, or feet. I also like to see others doing it in a group environment, and I like to see women do the same. My preferences being what they are, my personal experience has shown me that everybody has a different opinion on this matter.That may have been an unnecessarily long response. Maybe I should have just said 'I like this, everybody's different, and it's important to be respectful', but as some of you know, I really can't help myself when I have something to say. Cheers to everybody, I wish you a good day.
Hey everybody. Thanks for all the support. I was mostly surprised because I had been on Lush for more than a year before I even encountered it. I'm sort of glad to hear that I wasn't alone, but I'm sorry to hear that others have had the same problem. I may have been more thrown than truly upset. Like I said, I appreciate all the support. Lush is a wonderful place, so thanks also to all those who've helped to create and maintain this amazing site.
Have sex? With an avatar? How do you mean?
I think that the Kinsey scale is somewhat outdated, since the more widespread acceptance of pansexuality, asexuality, transgender and trans-sexual individuals to say nothing of the polyamorous population. Since I'm pan, trans, and poly, it's hard to say where I might end up. I think that his scale was great when it first arrived in the 1950's, but it's important to remember that Kinsey was studying homosexuality as a disease, at least originally.
How often do you get told by somebody on here that you are not in fact your chosen gender or sex? I just got a very rude message accusing me of deceiving the men and women of Lush. My profile bio begins like this "Hey there Lush. I'm a trans girl in her mid twenties..." I was momentarily very upset by this, until I remembered that I'm a woman with or without his validation.I ask because in the year that I've been on Lush I've never received such treatment, but I only recently modified my profile to make it so obvious, and I wonder if it's more common than I thought. I'd love to hear anybody's feedback. I don't mean to restrict the answers to trans individuals only, it's just relevant to us.
I understand it, but it's certainly not what I'm into personally. I don't really like having it done to me either, and on the rare occasion it has gone down, I've asked them to stop and in the one case my partner insisted, I said fine, and gave it a shot myself, and kind of hated it.. so I don't feel bad about my failure to reciprocate anymore.
'Tis I!
Mine! Mine! All mine! I win!

I'm not really an acquired-taste kind of a girl. I've liked coffee, (good) beer, pussy and dick from the first time I ever put them in my mouth.
This is not a problem. There are about fifty ways to deal with snoring, including just dealing with it. Others include breathe-right strips for light cases, sleeping on your side, or on an incline (this one has been the most helpful to people I know).
Nope. It's my account and my writing. My partner has an account too, so there would be no point in hiding things from her even if I were inclined to try. I feel great about my using Lush, and as far as I can tell, she does too.

If you are a heart attack survivor currently suffering from heart failure, you may be a candidate for a PARACHUTE Device. The PARACHUTE Ventricular Partioning Devise is implanted by a cath lab procedure for patients with heart failure. Implanted in the left ventricle, the PARACHUTE excludes the non-functional heart segment from the healthy, function segment and decreases the overall volume of the left ventricle. This is intended to restore both the geometry and the function of the heart allowing the healthy heart tissue to perform more efficiently during each heartbeat.
There are two arms to the study: Parachute Implant and All Appropriate Medical Therapy (AAMT)
Cardiomyopathy Treatment Program at the University of Iowa Heart & Vascular Center
Page Scovel, RN 319-356-1028
Over the last two decades, MCSDs have been developed to augment or supplant failing myocardial performance. This therapy has been used successfully as a bridge to heart transplantation, occasionally as a bridge to recovery, and most recently as permanent implantation or "destination therapy" for intractable heart failure. Although heart transplantation offers life-saving therapy for selected patients, its use is limited by a supply of donor organs that currently meets less than one-tenth the need. As a consequence, the number of MCSD implantations has increased in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue especially in light of the October 1, 2003 decision of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide reimbursement for MCSD implantation surgery.
Despite favorable survival and quality of life outcomes, MCSDs do have severe and sometimes life-threatening complications, including infection, thrombosis, and device failure. The development of new procedures and devices to reduce these complications will be expedited by the work of the registry involving the systematic, independent analysis of MCSD implantation procedures and outcomes. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) will collaborate with the CMS and the Food and Drug Administration in monitoring the work of the registry to permit the development of standard reporting of patient characteristics, indications, implantation procedures, and adverse events.
The goals of the registry include the following:
