Shed meal

Yin Yong (Cantonese style stir fry hor fun and deep fried mihun with egg) - Wat Dan Hor - MYR6.50 served in a pretty ancient plate that has seen better days.

Hokkein style stir fry yellow noodle (Hokkein Char) - MYR6.50 served in a common red plastic plate. I guess they ran out of ancient used plates.

A Dai Char  (Big Fry Up) stall set up in the back lane of shops. These stalls are very commonly found here and despite the not-so-comfortable dining condition, there are still many people who frequent stalls like this.

  4. when it comes to these two, i always prefer beehoon than the yellow mee or koay teow.. so for me, it will be Hokkien Beehoon and Heong Dai Mai (the Cantonese Beehoon)..

    1. I don't know the term Heong Dai Mai, good to learn it though.

  5. Both are really my favourites though it could be fattening!
    I always eat the fat noodles at Uptown and would order one small bowl of sinful fried lard all for myself!

    1. A bowl of fried lard is sinful all right!

  6. And these two dishes are the commonly ordered ones at dai chao/siu chao stalls in the Klang Valley. XD

    You know there is a different between dai chao and siu chao right? Dai chao is if the stall also dishes out vegetables and meat dishes, where you can order to go with rice. Siu chao is if the stall only does fried noodles.

    1. Oh, I've always known that there's a difference but always mix up the two. What is tze char then? I've seen it referred to as dishes to go with rice.

    2. Many of the stalls I have been to are dai chao, don't think I have been to a siu chao.

    3. I don't know about tze char but I know those dai chao also serves dan chor which is rice with one small portion of main dish on top of the rice.

    4. Tze char is Hokkien, similar to dai chao I suppose.

  9. I love both the noodles but not yin yong - I prefer just the hor fun.

    1. I guess you like the hor fun because it is so smooth and tasty!

  10. Ancient used plate and red plate probably both in the same real condition. Just that ancient plate shows it haha.

    I have a weakness for 'man yee meen'. :) Hokkien noodles are good when done well.

    1. Only the beehoon is deep fried so it is crispy.
