What Should Be On The Plate
Look for springy bee hoon, tender cuttlefish, pork, tau pok and kang kong in a balanced mix. The ingredients should still have distinct textures after the gravy goes on.
A Gravy With Depth
Good gravy tastes roasted and savoury before the sweetness arrives. It should coat the noodles generously without becoming a heavy paste.
