素娘惹咖喱面 Vegetarian Nyonya Curry Noodles

Contrary to what people know, going on a vegetarian diet is not as restrictive as ones' believe to be.   The vegetarian community has increased over the decades and with more people embracing this change of eating habits, vegetarian food joints are more easily accessible.
事实上，素食的生活方式并不如一般人们所想象般受限制的饮食方式。在这几十年里，吃素的人口急逐地增加而到处都可找到素食餐馆及素食贩卖店。

There are also many websites which share links or recipes related to vegetarian food.  Once you start looking, you'll be spoil for choice wondering which to try.
甚至还有许多素食网络给予素食相关的链接，博客分享不同的素食食谱。一旦找起来真是会眼花不知从何开始。

Apart from internet websites and food blogs, I am very much in favor of this vegetarian recipe book which I acquired from Malaysia last year. Most of the listed recipes are really good and tested with good outcome, particularly this Nyonya Curry Noodles that I am sharing today.

除了网络和博客以外，我也非常喜欢这本去年从马来西亚所购买的‘槟城好吃素食大排挡’食谱书籍。里面所写的食谱多部份都很好吃既保证煮出好效果，就连我今天这道娘惹咖喱面都是取自于此。

Highly Recommended!

强力推荐！
