Fried bee hoon ($5.50) & Seafood soup noodles ($6)!
A tze char noodle spread: a plate of seafood fried bee hoon with clams and prawn, and a bowl of milky seafood soup noodles. $11.50.
A comforting tze char noodle dinner with BB, ordering two different styles to share: a fried bee hoon ($5.50) and a seafood soup noodle ($6). ๐
What we had ($11.50 total):
- Seafood fried bee hoon: rice vermicelli wok-fried with clams, prawn, cabbage and greens
- Seafood soup noodles: noodles in a milky, savoury broth with prawn, vegetables and mushroom
Getting one dry and one soupy is the smart move, because they balance each other nicely. The fried bee hoon was the smoky one: thin rice vermicelli wok-fried over high heat for that wok hei char, tossed with sweet clams, prawn and plenty of greens. Loose, savoury and fragrant, the kind of plate you keep picking at.
The soup noodles were the comforting counterpart. Noodles in a cloudy, milky broth, savoury and a little creamy, with a couple of plump prawns and vegetables through it. It is the gentle, soothing bowl to spoon between mouthfuls of the drier fried noodles.
Between the two, you get smoky and soothing, crisp-edged and brothy, all from the same kitchen. That mix-and-match is exactly what makes tze char so good for sharing, and at $11.50 for both, it was satisfying value.
Overall: 4.5 / 5. ๐๐๐ผ Smoky seafood fried bee hoon and a milky soup noodle, a comforting dry-and-wet pairing. Would re-order.
