Love in a Bowl of Fried Noodles

Love in a Bowl of Fried Noodles

by Poppy Ervilawaty

On a rainy afternoon in a quiet Indonesian kitchen, two hearts find warmth not just in food, but in each other.

Miranda, a woman carrying the weight of memories, stirs her late mother’s fried noodle recipe in solitude… until Liam appears, quiet, poetic, and unexpectedly tender. What begins with steam rising from a wok turns into something deeper: a journey through grief, healing, and the kind of love that simmers slowly, patiently, like the perfect bowl of mie goreng.

Told through rich sensory storytelling and ending each chapter with heartfelt poetry, this short story is a tribute to the taste of home, the comfort of shared meals, and love that grows in the most unexpected kitchens.
