Spaghetti Bolognese

When I was young, there's this spaghetti that's been served in Mai King in the extinct Greendale supermarket which is now closed for many years and re-opened this year by Save More supermarket. I oftenly say to my father "Spageting pang-gera!"  (War Spaghetti) because of the spiciness of this spaghetti in contrast to children's spaghetti which is somewhat sweet. Although my version of spaghetti bolognese doesnt taste like that once that I have ate when I was young, it is still a bolognese. So here we go!!
