Here's another dish from the posh restaurant Ping Pong. Unlike the fish tacos I posted earlier, this dish is less bells 'n whistles and more substance.
The rice noodles are spiced with curry and mixed with shrimp, chicken and roast pork. I don't normally like thin pasta such as angel hair, but there's something about these noodles that makes it really enjoyable to fork a tangled bunch and gobble up huge mouthfuls at a time. Anyway, the price is a bit overwhelming for what you get, but as my sister likes to say, "You're paying for the ambience."
In Cantonese that's called "Sing Chau Mai". Sing as in.. Singapore, Chau as in.. I dunno.. and Mai as in Mai Fun, otherwise known as Rice Noodles, some people call it Glass Noodles. Ironically I don't remember seeing this during my many trips to Singapore, but I could be wrong.
ReplyDeletei've heard them called them glass noodles here also.
