Actually, this was my second winter in Melbourne. But, somehow, this winter is worse than last year.

Last year, I have fever, but I feel fine. I could do my everyday routine with the fever. No headache nor sneeze.

This second winter, no, I don't have fever, but COLD.

Every morning I woke up with blocked nose. Even one day I had my booger (sorry about that) is blood. Maybe because I wiped my nose too hard. 

Since I don't really like creamy style of soup, I better have ramen or making my own chicken soup or soto. But since I made soto a couple times, I want something different, but still  makes me warm inside. Then I came with this Mie Aceh.

I use the thin hokkien noodle, which actually that wasn't my plan. My plan is actually the thick hokkien noodle. But I don't know somehow Coles doesn't have it. But doesn't matter, the thin noodle is also fine. 

Here is the recipe:
