The noodle is Hor Fun (flat noodles with corn starch seafood gravy). It’s a local durian from Pulau Ubin unlike the one on the mainland that are imported from M’sia n Thailand.

Hor fun is indeed common - but you gotta know where to look: the dish typically isn’t found in stalls specializing in one or two dishes (like say, chicken rice or carrot cake), but in those with extensive menus and lots of dishes (of which hor fun is one among many). These establishments are colloquially known as “zi char” or “tze char” and they serve cook-to-order dishes like seafood, ye olde sweet and sour pork, hot plate tofu and omelettes, etc. Kinda similar to Chinese restaurants in the U.S. And it’s always fun when first-time durian eaters discover that they might actually like it. 😂 The trick I think is to see it as a kind of custardy mango with a complex flavor bouquet (sweet, bitter, alcoholic, caramelly, fruity, pungent banana - it’s a bit like wine!) and ditching the other preconceptions. Well done!

The Hor Fun is basically broad rice noodles that is pre-fried with soya sauce to give it that brown color and awesome browning aka Wok-Hei on it... then the gravy, usually thicken with potato starch, with ingredients, usually fish cake slices, pork slices, green veggies usually choy-sum, prawns, squid, eggs beaten and spread even throughout the broth to achieve that eggy gravy, are cooked then pour over the hor fun, it is available in all coffeeshops (not cafe) in Singapore just that it might only be available in late afternoon or early evening. Not common in hawker centre though as running this kind of stall requires more space.. as they sell whole selection of dishes, hence they always take up a corner stall space in most coffee shops.

@romOurPocket Coffee shops will usually have them. Coffee shops are like mini food-courts with multiple stalls selling different dishes, some of which you can also find at hawker centers. What distinguishe them from hawker centers are that they are usually run by a single operator that sublet the stalls. They would also usually have a corner stall selling only drinks such as kopi (coffee) and soft drinks, which is highly profitable and thus retained by the operator. They would also usually have a 'zhi char' store, which translates roughly to 'self cook' stall. Such stalls are larger than the other stalls and operate like a restaurant in offering a number of dishes on a menu. This is where you will usually find wok-fried dishes like 'hor fun' (the thick noodle dish you like so much) but there are many other dishes, most of which are delicious.

@@TalesFromOurPocket in case some tourists may get confused, "coffeeshops" in Singapore are actually "mini hawker centres" with just one row of stalls. Commonly found all over Singapore (usually one coffeeshop serving about 10-20 public housing blocks. This is why locals tell you it is a very common dish, yet tourists may not find them as easily. They are just not commonly found in touristy areas. Our coffeeshops are nothing like the ones in Amsterdam, for example. 🤣

@@TalesFromOurPocket Look for any stall that states" ZI Char" which literary means 'cook & fry' on the spot cooking or freshly cooked. Usually they also serve chillie crab, fried rice, deep fried scrambled eggs, veggies, tofu on hot plate, dark soya sauce noodles in clay pot (called Hokkein Mee - origin Malaysia). Always specify what size of dish in SML. You can always ask for packing of leftovers especially dry fried items like the cereal prawns. No need to go to restaurant just any coffeeshop or in hawkers' centres. Ask for Hor Fun (the white rice noodles you were having).

Im a local and I love watching these insights from tourists when they visit Singapore. You guys are the FIRST that i've seen actually enjoy and appreciate durian. Im a durian lover myself and I cannot express how impressed I am! Bravo to you guys actually 'conquering' this magical fruit! You guys are lucky some locals gave you some actually good quality durian! And just a side note, a lot of these videos I see them come and buy cheaper durians to try out (understandably so because why would you spend more on something you probably wouldn't like) and usually the cheaper ones DO NOT taste great, which is exactly why a lot of tourists dont like them. So if you wanna try some durian, go for the good ones and spend a little more!

ooh, the noodle dish is called hor fun. You can find it in most stir fried shops even in other Asian cuisine shops like Thai or Viet food. You got most of the ingredients right. For the noodle it is a a large, flat rice noodle stir fried in a hot wok and soy sauce added to give that charred look. The gravy's texture comes more from the potato starch slurry rather than the egg. You can always top up more egg at reasonable cost to add more flavour.

3:25 The noodle dish is called “Wat Tan Hor” or Cantonese Egg Gravy Flat Rice Noodles. You should be able to get it from most ZiChar stalls (Is the main anchor stall at hawker centers/coffeeshops that specializes on selling Chinese main dishes and fried rice/noodles, more commonly available during the evening /night sessions). You might be able to find them in US if the Chinese restaurant owner is from HK or Guangzhou areas. Otherwise the closest equivalent is probably the Beef Hor Fun or look out for Egg Hor Fun on the menu. Cooking it at home is relatively easily but getting the char flavor is impossible to get if you have electrical stoves.

Cool facts. There was an elephant that swam from Malaysia to Palau Ubin in the 1991, it injured a few people, was caught and sent back to Malaysia. It was reported in the news. You can read this in Wikipedia. There was sighting of a Tiger as well in Ubin by a resident and quarry workers. Experts went there but never caught it. It probably swam back to Malaysia, Johor. That time, Johor across the other side of SG was less developed, so wild animals can easily swim over. Recently, we got a wild Malayan Tapar running around in Punggol park, northeast of SG, swam from Malaysia as well.

Nostalgic place. Kinda recaps my memories during Police Academy Days. It was a 3 days 2 night camp supposingly with no physical trainings yet some of us still got it when we were too laid back and lost track of the main squad Instructors were so pissed off when we reached the campsite while they were anxiously searching for us Pretty weird that we didn't bump into each other since we were taking the same route. And the night walk from town to campsites with individual trainees returning within interval timing in total darkness. Our only female cadet came crying back to campsite after got frightened by those ambushed road Marshall. KIinda spooky when travelling alone in total darkness and not knowing the way back. Not forgetting that you might end up in the cemetery area...

That flat rice noodles dish is common in Singapore and Malaysia. It's called hor fun/wat tan hor (wet style) gravy is thickened with egg and corn starch. That flat thing is sliced fish cake. Not every stall does it well though. Those that are considered good is where you can taste the wok hei or the breath of the wok taste. This dish is indeed commonly found in Chinese "quick-cooking" stir fry stalls, we call them zhi char or zhu chao (煮炒). For instance, if you walk past stalls example around coffee shops, that has individual dishes in their menu like sweet and sour pork, stir-fry whatever...basically Chinese dishes, look at the noodles section of their menu, most likely you can find this dish with the name "hor fun". Then look for wet style as there's dried stir fry version as well. Love your videos by the way. You explored so much more than locals do lol (that includes me).

Hi there, can I challenge you to eat the Hor Fun and other Asian dishes that contain rice and come in a plate with a fork and a spoon together? It might feel odd, but you can ask any local Singaporean how to use a fork and spoon when eating food, they will guide you how to do it properly. Another level up will be using the spoon as a knife to cut through meat.

Spicy. The secret is milk. Bring a litre of fresh milk. Sipped along with the spice when it hits.
