How it's used
This dish is a staple of Hong Kong style cafes, known as cha chaan teng. It is distinct from traditional Indonesian mee goreng as it usually features a heavy, savory curry sauce and is often served with slices of luncheon meat or sausage. It is considered a classic comfort food rather than an authentic ethnic dish.
