They do what we have today "FAST FOOD", they cooked the "kway teow" before hand & set aside, then when the dish is ordered, they throw in the kway teow ( pre-cooked), then add the ingredients, like you know CRAB STICK, instead of chye sim, we get cabbage!, then silver of pork etc & just add the gravy of corn starch, salt etc...no lard, that gives the hor fun the oomph..plus that smokey burnt taste I mention..

The current hor fun out there is only fit for certain 'dogs'...they are the ones will messed things up, so it is only fit for their consumption..:D

Kopi, never eat at this stall's h/f, what they did is to pre-prepare eveything; and once the order comes in, they just heat up the gravies throw in the precooked ingredients and pour them over the hor fun !..:eek:
I wouLd call this method 'Cheating'.:cool:

maybe so when they are very busy....they will short cut...like the famous taiwah buckchomee. i saw the uncle pre cooked the ingredients and put aside.....and then just threw in after the mee was cooked....but still not bad leh..

soon many short cuts will come our way...and our traditional food will go down the drain. many baba and nonya food have gone liao!!! just too many short cuts here and there...no more a labour of love...HUAT AH!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hor fun at People's Park Food Centre not bad, got the taste one can find in the 80s'. Located beside the mint shop Missed the hor fun that da bao in banana leave which ingredients include pig stomach n liver. I hate the gravy that most hawkers made nowadays which taste like long kang water.
