Mee Tai Mak with Salted Fish

When I was younger, I used bring my group of poly classmates to Seremban, a small town in Malaysia to eat a dish called "Claypot Rat Noodle" or in cantonese we called it "Sa Po Lou Shu Fen".

Yummy Lou Shu Fen~!

Rat Noodle or Lou Shu Fen which also knowns as Mee Tai Mak in Singapore its a type of noodle which looks like a rat tail but shorter and hence the name. Its does sounds kinda disgusting if you are listening it for the first time in your life but I can guarantee you that it doesn't taste anywhere close to a taste of a rat (tho I never tasted a rat before but I assume its disgusting! =P)

Recently my classmates been telling me that they miss the dish and they never forgot the wonderful taste of that dish even tho it has been like more than 10 years and sometimes I even wonder if the shop its still open for business. So, I decided to try my hands in making this dish and hopefully I can cook it myself and let them rekindle that wonderful taste that they have been missing.
