A loaded mid-week plate to get over the hump: fried bee hoon with all the toppings, $4.80. ๐
What we had:
- Fried bee hoon with chicken wings, cocktail sausages, a fried egg, fishcake and sweet chilli sauce
This is the economic bee hoon stall at its most indulgent. A base of soft, lightly seasoned fried bee hoon (rice vermicelli), dark with a bit of soy, then absolutely piled with toppings.
There were crispy fried chicken wings with juicy meat under the crunch, a ring of those little red cocktail sausages (always a nostalgic favourite), a slab of fried fishcake, and a runny-yolked fried egg sitting right on top to break and mix through. A generous squiggle of sweet-savoury chilli sauce over everything ties it all together.
It is the kind of plate where you point at one too many things and end up very full, which is exactly the point on a Wednesday. Cheap, hearty and a little bit greedy, the comfort food that keeps the weekday rotation ticking along.
Overall: 4.4 / 5. ๐๐๐ผ Smoky fried bee hoon loaded with crispy wings, sausage and a runny egg. Would re-order.
