Mai hum...Mai hum...Mai hum...
Mee siam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mee Siam refers to "Siamese noodle" is a dish of thin rice noodles (vermicelli) in spicy sour sweet soup popular in Singapore.
Originally a Thai dish, it became a Nyonya specialty that is now prepared by Indians, Malays as well as Chinese stalls in Singapore with slight variation in ingredients. It is served with salted soy beans, dried bean curd, boiled egg, and tamarind, garnished with spring onions and Chinese chives.
At the Singapore 2006 National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made a "Mee Siam mai hum (No cockles in my Mee Siam please)" remark, and was made the butt of a joke/song in a popular Singaporean podcast The MrBrown Show. The podcast took Mr Lee's comment and edited it to the tune of "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas. This comment was also lampooned due to the fact that the dish does not contain cockles at all.====================
