Mid week fried noodles lunch ($3)!

A simple mid-week hawker lunch to break up the week, a plate of fried noodles for just $3. π
What we had:
- Fried noodles: a mix of kway teow and yellow noodles in dark sauce with bean sprouts and chives, plus a side of stir-fried cabbage
This is the kind of honest economic-stall plate that does the job on an ordinary Wednesday. A tumble of kway teow (flat rice noodles) and yellow noodles wok-fried together in a dark, savoury sauce, with bean sprouts for crunch and chives for a bit of fragrance. A good plate of these has that smoky wok hei and just enough chilli to keep it interesting.
On the side, a scoop of soft stir-fried cabbage, sweet and silky, the homely vegetable that rounds out a cheap plate of noodles and makes it feel like a proper meal rather than just carbs.
Nothing fancy, but at $3 it is filling, tasty and easy, exactly what a mid-week lunch should be. Finding a hot plate of fried noodles for three dollars these days is a small win in itself.
Overall: 4.4 / 5. πππΌ Smoky dark fried noodles with a sweet cabbage side, filling and just $3. Would re-do.
