KL Hokkien Mee

First response from my family members.... so black! LOL
I personally, like the taste. Yes I did make it too dark, but aside from that, it's yummy
But my kids didn't really enjoy eating this dish. They had it for lunch then they requested for something else for dinner. Can we not having that black noodle again for dinner? they said hahaha...
My mum said, not bad. She never had KL hokkien mee before
DH said, nice, but yes it's too dark LOL
