PORK SOUP NOODLE

Fall is here!! The weather is getting cold now, also since last week we have lots of heavy rains, and it made the weather cold evenmore. In this cold weather, the best thing to do is eating hot soups...yup that is my hubby's request for this season ;).

So, after 'another' wonton soup, I made pork soup noodle this time. Actually, it is same as chicken soup noodle or Hongkong style noodle. But, I combined pork and chicken broth together and it gave better taste for the soup.

It is extremely good especially we ate it in this cold weather. So, take a zip of this hot tasty soup and you'll know ..... ;)
