Felicia Ong: Prawn Noodles

HI!

Well, first time, turned out a success *self praise* Mwhahah. . I'll just summarize what i did here now. My bad i did not measure the amount of ingredients i used so i can't put it down sorry :p But it depends on how many portions you are cooking for just estimate,not that hard!

Everything im gna mention is what i did to achieve the end product. There are many other ways to do it too!
