What we had:
- Wat tan hor: flat rice noodles in a pale egg gravy with sliced pork, prawn, squid, mushroom and greens
This was the wat tan hor style, the version where the hor fun is smothered in a glossy, egg-thickened gravy rather than fried dry. The wide rice noodles soak up the sauce beautifully, soft and slippery, with ribbons of egg run through the pale gravy.
For $3.50 it was surprisingly loaded: slices of tender pork, a prawn or two, rings of squid, soft mushroom and a few stalks of greens all swimming in that savoury, comforting gravy. A bit of wok char underneath gives it that smoky depth, and a spoon of cut chilli on the side adds heat if you want it.
It is exactly the kind of saucy, soothing plate you crave when you want noodles without anything fierce. Honest, generous and full of flavour at a price that is getting hard to find.
Overall: 4.4 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Silky egg-gravy hor fun with pork, prawn and squid, a comforting bowl for $3.50. Would re-order.
