the last item he tries, dry noodles with crispy pork, looks very solid too.

Another video featuring Thai versions of food that we are familiar with. Big Smile
There's Thai version of dim sum, hokkien mee (which is totally different from Singaporean and Malaysian versions), and orh lua (fried oyster omelette) but with a twist.

Would be funny if you go to Fujian and they don't have hokkien mee.
Just like how Asian restaurants overseas sell "Singapore Noodles" but we don't have that here.

I think Asian restaurants in Western countries are trying to make 星洲炒米粉 (a common zi char bee hoon dish here) when they sell "Singapore noodles". But from my experience, they rarely look like our version.
I saw this video and I immediately wanted to share it here because it looks so shiok!
This is a restaurant in Kedah famous for its barbecued sotong. Like big fat sotong with egg inside and then topped with a lot of chili sauce.
The portion that this lady ate is about RM39.
Surprisingly, she said the squid itself is quite plain but the sauce makes all the difference. Personally, I'm just a fan of grilled seafood so I think even plain squid should be quite nice. Can't wait to try it myself once it gets easier to travel to Malaysia. Big Smile

malaysian folks are particular about their food just like us, so that super long queue must be a good sign. not a bad place to stop by on my next road trip in malaysia. Like

Quite a smart idea to sell only squid with egg in them because it makes the squid look more plump and appetising.

Ohhhh so that's what Singaporean Noodles are. I saw it on a menu in Asian restaurants in Australia and never bothered to order it. But now that I know it's just the zi char style bee hoon, it's good that I didn't spend AU$10 on it.  Laugh


My favourite prata in Singapore! Anyone else tried this before? Their plain prata is mega crispy because they fry it in a generous amount of ghee. Unhealthy but it's sooooo good. Maybe it's a good thing the shop is located all the way in Joo Chiat instead of being too convenient for me. Big Smile
