It's rich and savory and better than any other Satay Hot Pot spot, it's too bad you just went for the noodles. Hope you have the opportunity to go again and try the hot pot because it's the best in my opinion.

All these noodles look great…but there’s one noodle dish that rules them all. My mom’s. Hailing from Belitung in Indonesia, from Chinese migrants from Southern China who ended up there in the 18th century. It’s surprisingly similar to HK cuisine. That’s why we feel so at home there!

    Just to be precise the sauces for the rice noodle rolls are soy sauce, peanut sauce, sweet sauce, chilli sauce and white sesame. In my old days, they would included cold cooking oil. When I eat my wonton noodles, I usually add red wine vinegar to complement its meals. Glad he added some chilli sauce for his beef chow fun. For that similar hotpot beef vermicelli, could make those at home rather than paying $58 where the cost is mostly applied to the part of the meat itself. There are still few types of noodles I've yet to see him try and they are Long Life E-Fu Noodles, Silver Needle aka mouse tail noodles, & Lai Fun types of spaghetti made out of rice flour, etc.

    I wonder if they were using the infamous Hair Soy sauce (Use hair to make it) looked good

    To me, all those dishes are such comfort food!!! Between California, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, I can go from one comfort niche to the next. Also, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese food is included in that comfort zone!!! The last 'expensive' bowl of beef and noodles I've never seen before. I look it up. Virginia seems like such a delightful person.

    That 3rd noodle dish the "best" one - just looked like beef chow fun. Which is my favorite food in the world.
