Its funny la their beehoon have a tiny tinch of chow-ta smell and this made all the difference and when coated with the sauce it just feels nice in the mouth, yummy.

Yes bro i think the kway teow noodles almost same same what they have in LOS so they take to it.
Yong Tau Hoo.....after the gf discover laksa yong tau hoo she also became a fan......extra cockles some more (thais i find like their cockles well cooked).
Porridge they like the century egg too........but raw fish they not fans of it.

A big difference is sinkie fishballs in stalls are mostly fresh fishballs and cooked on the spot. In Thailand the fishballs are all precooked in factory. Difference is sinkie balls are softer and can't tell difference between outer skin and the inside meat but most of Thai fishballs the outer skin is slightly harder than the inside. Of course there are good fishballs in Thailand too and its available in Chinatown Yaowarat from the fishball stalls but then you have to cook at home.

Another difference is also the size, most and I say again most but not all Thai fishball noodle shops use very small fishball so when biting and chewing it not so shiok compared to large fishballs.

However for fish cakes I really like the Thai's big chunky fish cakes. This I will not complain.

One last thing, dry noodles of course very very big difference because we use chilli sauce with vinegar and soya sauce, Thai's dry noodles is simply nothing inside. So I have to make my own chilli sauce and other stuff and bring to shop whenever I know I want to go out for noodles.

Bro Joetys, I think Ng Ah Sio was the one that turned away ex-Hong Kong chief Tung Chi Hwa when he came to eat. Thaksin also ate there b4... Heck, even these phra also cannot resist! I long time didn't go there leaw so was surprised when my recent visit they renovated the place very nicely and orders taken with handheld devices hor!

 

[Tamdeedaidee]

Hi Bro Chon, yes how can forget your generosity? Many thanks for being such a fantastic host. Finally figured out how to upload pixs in this forum. Sutanrak, Or Bor Chor? Did I get the name right?

I've never tasted. Anyway this stall had been taken over by Jumbo group so this is why with Jumbo's deep pocket and experience they are expanding I guess.
