look at THIS!

This is one of my lunches, Mee Rebus :) However, as delicious as it looks, it also looks really high in fat content :( My new maid is known to cook really fatty meals ):
This particular meal was using the premade powder mix for the sauce. A quick check through google shows that mee rebus sauce premixs contain the following:

Vegetable Oil (Palm Olein), Sugar, Peanut, Chilli, Salted Soya Bean, Garlic, Onion, Dried Shrimp, Candlenut, Ginger, Mixed Spices, Salt, Flavour Enhancer (Monosodium Glutamate - E621)
(from http://shop.waiyeehong.com/food-ingredients/cooking-ingredients-condiments/seasoning-sachets/mee-rebus-paste-sweet-bean-sauce)

Saturated fat content is very high as it is present in the vegetable oil, flavour enhancer and the nature of the premix being processed. Sugar is also high. This meal is unhealthy! :(

I suggest modifiying it by cooking our own sauce instead of using a premix. In this way, transfat can be cut down. Vegetable oil and sugar can be reduced.
This dish does not have vegetables nor fish nor meat! O_O Definitely not balanced.
We need more leafy green vegetables here, as well as lean meat such as chicken! Or perhaps fish :) We can serve the meat/fish as a side dish as well :) And fruits could be a side or as dessert. Add milk or just plain water as the beverage :D

Truthfully though, I think no matter how many veggies and meat and stuff you add to Mee Rebus, it's still unhealthy ): because the sauce is based on oil and sugar, how bad can that get! I think it would be best to avoid Mee Rebus completely (or at least succum to the temptations only like, once every 2 months). Much healthier dishes with yellow noodle include normal fishball noodel (with less oil), mee pok with more vegetables etc. So I could always eat those dishes instead :)

Yups :)
