Economical bee hoon lunch ($3.80)!
Economical bee hoon (cheap chai png) hawker lunch — fried bee hoon, kway teow, sweet and sour pork, beancurd cubes and blanched greens. $3.80.
Wallet-friendly day — economical bee hoon (经济米粉) at a hawker stall, $3.80. Mix-and-match cai png-style. 😋
What was on the brown packing paper ($3.80):
- A scoop of fried bee hoon at the centre — egg-fried with bits of carrot and bean sprouts.
- A pile of fried char kway teow in dark sauce on the side — slick, slightly smoky.
- A heap of sweet and sour pork — crispy batter coated in glossy red-orange sauce.
- Pieces of stewed beancurd cubes in sauce with bits of chilli.
- A scoop of blanched kang kong (or sweet potato leaves) for the green and balance.
Four dishes + bee hoon for less than $4 — the magic of hawker economy lunch.
Total: $3.80.
Overall: 4 / 5. Standard cai png variety, properly cooked, properly priced. The bee hoon was the foundation — egg-fried and not oily. Solid lunch on a budget. 😍👍🏼
