I’ve been on the hunt for some stellar Ipoh Hor Fun in Singapore 🧐 Silky slippery thin rice noodles with just the right amount of springiness to withstand a noodle pull shot... in a bowl of flavourful (not too herbal) dark sauce and toppings. It’s also SO easy to go #meatfree with this dish. The Chinese mushroom you can find in each dry hor fun option is soo meaty and umami is intensified from the drying process (really obsessed with dried chinese mushrooms lately 🍄 🤤). I ordered the Mushroom Hor Fun ($3.50/$4.50), yielding a generous serving of crunchy bok choy 🥬 atop the bed of noodles and mushroom bites. Got the smaller portion and thought it was really substantial already! 加-ed $1.50 to try their famous handmade crispy fish dumplings which were really yummy and added yet another layer of texture.

While I loved this meal, I did not think it was an insanely phenomenal plate of hor fun... the one at Maxwell — can’t recall nor find the name bc it’s not even “famous” — was tastier and the noodles were smoother. Think that dash of fragrant sesame oil did the trick... 😉
