What we had:
- Fried bee hoon with a fried chicken wing, tau kwa and cabbage, drizzled with sweet chilli sauce
This is the build-your-own economic bee hoon plate, and a fried chicken wing is always the right pick. The bee hoon (rice vermicelli) was wok-fried with a bit of dark soy for colour, light and slightly smoky, the plain base that lets the toppings shine.
The chicken wing was the star: marinated and fried until the skin crisps up while the meat stays juicy, the kind you gnaw right down to the bone. Alongside it, a slab of tau kwa (firm beancurd) soaking up sauce, and a scoop of soft stir-fried cabbage for something green and sweet. A generous squiggle of that sweet-savoury chilli sauce over the top ties it all together.
Nothing complicated, just a hot, satisfying plate for $3.30, the sort of cheap, reliable lunch that keeps the weekday rotation going. Point at what you want, pay a few dollars, eat happy.
Overall: 4.4 / 5. πππΌ Smoky fried bee hoon with a crispy chicken wing and sweet chilli. Would re-order.
