Char Hor Fun (Flat-wide Rice Noodles with Gravy) @ Pulau Tikus Penang 炒河粉

Char Hor Fan @ Bee Hooi Cafe

I ordered the Char Hor Fan since I haven't eaten for awhile. I was so excited when I had the first spoon - the taste that I missed > The Authentic Taste! The sauce didn't overwhelm the flavour of stir fry noodles. You can still taste the wok taste and the noodle wasn't so oily too. The stall are owned by an old couple. I wish they could teach me how to cook this. RM5 for a plate of Char Hor Fun.


 Not just the flat rice noodles, they also stir fry it with a little bit of vermicelli. Some people don't like the vermicelli can request for only flat rice noodles. They put some choy sum, slices of fish ball, pork slices, roast pork slices and prawn on this dish. The old days flat rice noodles which my dad love it ( his old time ) was cooked with pork oil and has pork liver. It is hardly seen nowadays because youngster prefer the egg gravy one with lots of gravy (Note: similar to War Tan Hor). Egg gravy one is more salty and heavy in taste. The original one has a light and clear gravy and it shouldn't over power the noodles. Thus, the 'kung fu' of stir frying the noodles must be good.

I took the photo on my second visit. Ah Boy and I ordered one each because it wasn't enough for us to share! I poured all the chili given on top of the noodles because I like the pickled chili. 

There are also others yummy food @ Bee Hooi Cafe, check it out at 

 This stall was not opened on Thursday when I went there. I was so craved for it!!!

Cintan Mee Recipe ( Stir Fry Noodles ) 炒金旦面

Cintan Mee - The Ding Dong Mee I love Cintan Mee so much, whether it is stir-fried with tomyam or soy sauce. I 'developed' this dish from an old kopitiam in my hometown which used to be famous of Cintan Mee. The shop was owned by an old couple but they closed the shop when I was in Year 5? Oh it was long time ago! Everyone miss their cintan mee.  Thank god for gifted me such a good tongue and I made it!!! The taste is similar but the method of preparing is differ from the old couple. Also, I skip some ingredients to make it easy and simple.  My sister loves it because she misses it so much as she was away from home for so many years. I remembered when I was in primary school and she came back from oversea, she will ask me to take away for her and she wanted it dry ( less sauce compare to the wet one). I could see she enjoys this dish so much whenever I cooked. Sadly I don't have any photo of how was the noodles looked. I really miss it. So why I ...

Angled Luffa with Egg Recipe 丝瓜炒蛋

Angled Luffa with Egg  A simple healthy meal with fibre and protein.  The sauce/soup is very clear, light and a little bit of sweetness from the luffa.  Luffa is soft to bite and a ll the essence is concentrated in the soup. It i s very suitable to serve in summertime. I love this so much. I can have rice to go with only this. I will have my rice covered with luffa with plenty of sauce. Okay, maybe I can call it soup because I drink the sauce like soup. I heard from my friend, his mom cooks this as soup which means they put more water. Feel safe to drink the sauce as it is not salty like other stir fry vegetable with thicken sauce. That's why I said the sauce texture is more like soup. I should put another half cup of water, a bit dry. Not enough soup for me! Story of luffa: My mom told me when she was a kid and my grandparents were very poor, they used dry luffa as a scrubbing sponge in the kitchen to wash the dishes . Interesting right? Luffa is a ve...
