Nowadays Hor Fun got no standard

butoh6050 · Jan 6, 2015

Ordered Hor fun last night. What a fucking disappointment.
I guess prc's are making hor fun now.

Those who are old enough will remember that there are prawns, squid, pork, pork liver, fish slice and choy sum in hor fun ages ago.

Our food has to be regulated. Any foreigner who wants to open a stall selling one of our favourites, must have lived here for at least 10 years and the dish he intends to make and sell must be approved by a panel of local chefs.
KNN !!

hor fun at tampines street 22 block 280 kopitiam is ok. at least, they add black sauce and fry the hor fun until it's caramelized before cooking with gravy. the roti prata at the same kopitiam is the best.

There is a place that sells fish soup....fish head steamboat and hor fun along Tan Quee Lam street. I find the hor fun quite good there.

Those old school hor funs hard to find liao. Nowadays the lan jiao hor fun, no sliced fish.. give fish cakes, some by default no squid liao, 2 pc of prawn and 3 piece of pork with loads of starch thrown in. The dark soya sauce they use are so diluted that no matter how long they fry, there wont be any caramelisation on the hor fun.

The fried rice also another one, no more small shrimps, all use crabstick cut till so small, you wonder how they do it... sigh.. progress?

Simple. Just dun eat from them.

If you continue to eat, it means the food is acceptable and they will try to give less or lower quality to increase profit.

I will never go back even if the eatery is just 2 mins walk from my house when the food is not up to mark. I rather drive for another 20mins to have decent food.

We eat to enjoy the process, why pay and eat stuff that makes us unhappy?

There was a stall I used to eat from their days in Tiong bahru and later Chinatown. The boss decided to retire after fracturing his arm 3years ago. From then on, I seldom eat hor fun cause the standard everywhere simple is not up to mark.

The old food masters of yesteryear has either retired or are dead. Their children did not take-over because of the long tedious hours and because they can make a better living by becoming doctors, bankers and etc.

I am shock by the standard of beef noodles nowadays. They even put kangkong as broth ! Gosh !:o

yes, wok eh, plus the blackish edges of the hot fun too...nowadays the hor fun, taste like....? cannot describe them. We are not the only people facing this problem actually...you go KL....the CHINESE food, in the popular eating places, like Petaling Street Area & Jalan Alor Area....the CHINESE food taste like Myanmar cooking & you are right....for they have employed the Myanmar people, not only cooking the food, but taking orders & serving you...

You think, it is bad here...try KL
