Lai Wah Restaurant, Singapore

Came to Lai Wah Restaurant to get some old-fashioned Cantonese horfun (flat rice noodles).

Ordered the Deer meat Hor Fun (Apparently they don't serve beef) It met and exceeded my standards for horfun. (See my previous post - click)

Freshly fried horfun served with piping hot black bean gravy. The meat is tender and well marinated. This dish is done in old-school cantonese style, no shortcuts, no compromises.

There is nothing to complain about.

Soo Kee - Medan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur

We came here to eat what Soo Kee is famous for - Sang Har Meen (Prawn with Fried Noodles).

It did not dissappoint. There are two 'Soo Kees' in Medan Imbi. The right one is the more run-down shop.

We ordered the 'large prawn' version.

A very 'prawny' egg gravy (almost bisque-like) poured over freshly fried noodles with two large prawns sliced into halves.

The combination is heavenly.

Cost ~ about 60 RM for two persons.

Kok Kee Wanton Noodles

Noodles with special sauce.

Every foodcourt has its typical mix of stalls - A chicken Rice stall, A fishball noodle stall, a wanton noodle stall.

And in every typical wanton noodle stall, they way they prep the noodles, is simply add a bit of soya sauce, sesame seed oil, a bit of standard factory processed chilli sauce that taste the same at every stall.

Not Kok Kee noodles.

They serve their noodles plain, with 2 pieces of wanton, some charsiew and slather the noodles with a clear sweet/savoury tasting secret sauce. I urge you to forgo the chilli sauce and savour the 原味。

Sometimes, the most uncomplicated, simplest combination of ingredients yield the greatest satisfaction.
