since i'm in the hospital the food isn't all that great
Awww thats too bad! I was super lucky then 'cause when I had to go to the hospital for 10 days the first pneumonia spell I had the room service food was pretty good. A small 3oz steak, side salad, fresh fruit like red grapes or pineapple and a small portion of cottage cheese was typical fare. Funny thing though is I think I enjoyed the V8 juice poured over ice the best. And they were nice enough to keep me in coffee so I didn't go psycho on them!since i'm in the hospital the food isn't all that great
I've had pneumonia and been hospitalized twice in the past number of years. First time 10 days and round the clock IV, injected and oral anti-whatsis drugs. Second time for only 6 days or so. The COPD is sucky...testify...and I'm considered a risk for pneumonia now so that isn't cool. No serious heart issues thus far, but I was seeing a pulmonologist and he helped me out a bit.I hate cottage cheese*laughs* I actually like the food in the cateteria better then the food they bring me to my room and they always great dessert Vergazi do You get phumonia a lot? I'm so accesable to getting it a lot cuz my lungs don't expand to their full capacity, and each time I get it the corner ends of my lungs shrink in more, specially with my COPD... as well as having 2 heart attacks in the past, But I just saw my Heart Dr. I have 5 cardiologists and my Heart is good which I'm so thankful for. oh and I really Like Your Sig avatar that's pretty
Pro Tip about hospital food...sometimes they have things on the menu that isn't on the menu...ask and you may be surprised with what they might come up with.
HAHA nice, My dad loves him some hamburgers so if I don't know what to make for him that's the default. Tonight though we had a roast lamb shoulder, gravy and mashed potatoes and buttered green beans. We got the roast free 'cause the people don't like a roast with half of it bone. We ain't picky so heck yeah.I actually had hamburgers tonight
Actually the "Chow" just means fried and refers to a general cooking technique. The "Mei Fun" are the noodles. This is a well known dish and the name is correct. I have a cookbook with it in it and have purchased the similar dish at a restaurant. It's actually a Hong Kong dish, but for whatever reason many call it Singapore...perhaps because of the curry powder that merchants in Singapore often had on their ships.@Vergazi. Not to be too technical, but "chow" in "chow mei fun" is crisp fried egg and wheat noodles. Those look like soft rice noodles and thus it wouldn't be a "chow mei fun." Of course it isn't easy to see if the noodles are crisp or if they are egg and wheat. In any case if they are soft rice noodles they miss-named variation of "chow mei fun." On the other, they sure look good! I'd add some celery to make it perfect!.

@shimmerfly those are rice noodles. rice vermicelli , Wai Wai brand to be exact. Glad someone else has had the pleasure of having this dish! Sometimes it is made with wider rice noodles, but the version I got at a restaurant and from what I've seen in videos online they use rice vermicelli.@Vergazi and if I'm not mistaken it calls for rice noodles.
