Wednesday tze char dinner with BB — 月光河粉 (moonlight hor fun) $5 + 伊面 (yi mein) $4.50. Classic Singapore tze char dishes.

We ordered:

Moonlight hor fun (月光河粉) — $5
Yi mein (伊面) — $4.50

Total: $9.50 for both dishes.

The moonlight hor fun (月光河粉) is iconic Singapore tze char hor fun preparation. Named after the raw egg yolk that sits on top like a moon. Standard preparation:

Wok-fried flat rice noodles (hor fun) with proper wok hei char
Sliced beef or pork as protein
Dark soy + light soy + sesame oil seasoning
Garnished with bean sprouts and scallion
Raw egg yolk placed in centre on top
Customer mixes runny yolk through noodles before eating

The runny egg yolk transforms the dish — carbonara-like creamy-rich coating across each strand.

The yi mein (伊面 — “longevity noodles”) is the Cantonese-style longevity noodle dish. Standard preparation:

Yi mein noodles (egg-flour noodles, dried + pre-fried)
Braised in dark soy + oyster sauce + sometimes mushroom stock
Mushrooms (shiitake) + scallion + sometimes chives
The proper longevity-symbolism eating tradition

The yi mein category specifically represents proper Cantonese-Chinese cuisine heritage. Different from the modern noodle dishes, yi mein has long cultural significance as the celebration food (birthdays, weddings, New Year).

At $5 + $4.50 hawker / tze char pricing tier. The shared format for two diners provides proper variety.
