Fried Hor Fun (Wat Tan Hor)



I suddenly have a craving for stir fry rice noodle. So I went down to Asian supermarket after work to obtain some fresh hor fun. I thought to myself, if I'm back in Singapore/Malaysia, I won't bother to cook this dish at all, as most stir fry stall 厨 绰 sell this noodle and it's really yummy. I like the seafood gravy with egg being drizzled over the smoky flavor fried hor fun. My craving gets the better of me...........
