Ipoh Sar Hor Fun 怡保沙河粉

A new Ipoh hor fun stall opened at Amoy St Food Centre about half a year ago, and has been packing in the crowds ever since. It's right next to the wait-long-long Tai Seng wanton noodles, and opposite the oh-no-there's-no-more-space-to-queue-on-this-floor Han Kee fish noodles. The average wait is about 15 minutes, which is just about the maximum amount of time I would queue during lunch hour. Piao Ji Fish Soup 2 sections away, with an average queuing time of 30 minutes, is an entirely different story altogether.
A regular $3 serving gets you shredded chicken, mushrooms and veggies. They also have prawns, which you can order with crayfish. The crayfish noodles start at $5 for 2 miniscule crayfish and mushrooms.
I love the texture of the noodles - they are soft but don't fall apart, and they go really well with the sauce. I've seen Chinese herbs used in the sauce pot, so there's a lot more flavour than just soy.
They have fish dumplings at $3 for 6, which are fat, springy and crispy. They go brilliantly with the salad cream and sambal chilli sauce.

They're at stall 02-122, Amoy St Food Centre and open only for lunch on weekdays.
