New Dished: Curry Spaghetti

On a quiet night, i go to the restaurant near my house like normally eat one of my favourite curry mee with my friend. The curry mee that sell in the restaurant was delicious, the texture of mee is smooth and chewey, the curry soup is smooth ,the spicy taste was not too strong and the taste is perfect.

When we eat the curry mee, my friend asked me that:

   "Eric, why the curry always eat with yellow mee, mee hoon, or kuew tiaw but not other noodles?"
   "En...maybe at the older days there was only have those kind of noodles can find in Malaysia" I replied.
   "Then why don't we trying to do something new? We can try using other noodles!" He said to me excitedly.  
   "But what noodles we want to use?" He is asked me again.
   "Why not we use spaghetti to replace mee, as spaghetti doesn't taste the bitterness that contain in yellow mee" I replied to him.
   "That's a good idea! When we want to try it?" My friend asked.
   "Why not we try it tomorrow as our lunch" I said to him.
   "OK, lets do it" He replied.

Therefore through the conversations, we decided try to making curry spaghetti at next day. This was my first time cooking curry and i have no idea how to cook it. I called to my mother for enquiry on how to cook.

   "Mom, can you teach me how to cook curry" I asked.
   "Son, what are the curry dished u want to making" My mom asked.
   "I want to making new dished, curry spaghetti" I mannerly replied.
   "That sounds interesting. You need to prepare the curry soup first then put the spaghetti in" My mom said to me.
   "Please teach me the proper way to making curry soup" I asked.
   " It is simple, u just need to buy a package of curry paste and follow the method showed on the packaging. I think it's not difficult for you,as you are a culinary student" My mom said to me.
   "But not make it too thick and put more water and santan" She later add on.
   "Ok mom, i try to make it. Thanks for help" I replied.

The next day morning, my friend and I went to morning market to buy the ingredient for cooking curry spaghetti. We have bought some onion, potato, long bean, fish cake, spaghetti, santan and also the main ingredient curry paste. I am very excited and couldn't wait for making curry spaghetti.
