How it's used
This dish is a staple of Hong Kong style cafes and is specifically known for its crispy, deep-fried noodle base. Unlike many other noodle dishes, the sauce is poured over the crunchy noodles, which softens them gradually as you eat. It is often considered a comfort food that balances texture and savory flavor.
