Economy fried mee or bee hoon.....no ingredients except chillies, deep-fried shallots and deep-fried bean curd strips (teik gar kee in hokkien). We used to called the dish "orr am bee hoon" which implies that its the food u have when u are out of luck and broke.......
The fried bee hoon in Pg tastes fantastic despite its lack of ingredients........I've had "similar" bee hoon in the Klang Valley and in Sabah which lacks the ommmph......anyway in order to liven the fried bee hoon the folks in these two places add fried eggs, yong tow foo and curry.......but still the taste of fried bee hoon in pg beats them hands down....
It must be something special.....probably it must be the finely diced up "chai por" they mixed in the bee hoon, which gives the dish its special taste....
Its cheap....it costs 80 sen and RM 1, however, with the recent fuel increase.....the price have gone up to RM1 and RM 1.2.....but it is still good value for money....filling and tasty....
The best fried bee hoon used to be sold in the morning near the Kuantan Rd. market....the stall is located at junction of kuantan road & dato kramat rd....however the original owner had left the scene....and since then.....its only mediocre....
Alternatively u can get tasty fried bee hoon in Kimberly Street at night....there used to be lots of stores selling this stuff in the seventies when i was in school... but now only two stores are left....both are quite good....but i like the one located further away from the cintra street junction....
Whoa......the joys of eating cheap, good and tasty food in pg....

Totally agreed. The best Bee Hoon is still the one with minimal ingredients and it's only available in our lovely Penang.
