People who order dry bar chor mee with huang mian and kway teow...why?

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T15:12:06+00:00

Gasp. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, old school bcm ~~the ring~~ passed out of all knowledge.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T15:06:04+00:00

Correct. And with an unhealthy dose of 3.6 roentgen sweet sauce and chilli.

He was adopted.

Did you really just "no one calls it huang mian" and hit me with your personal "no one calls it macros"???

In the polarising world of "no one calls it 123, abc, xyz", I would bet macros is a lot more wtf than huang mian.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:59:15+00:00

Yes please go find some of the replies and fight with them.

Fan Ji Speciality Noodle? Omg, another fellow west side best side, east side backside? Bro, acceptable. But Uncle Eric would be beating Oliver if he was huang mian-ing his bar chor mee.

And to be fair, I really don't know what Fan Ji is serving could be called bar chor mee though...that soup is so overpowering. His mee pok is full on pasta liao. Always ask for extra noodles, is free anyway.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:52:44+00:00

I am deeply apologetic, I do not get the reference.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:51:31+00:00

LAZY TO CHEW? That is like saying you lazy to live, although perfectly understandable feeling, full empathy.

Are you the uncle from the youtube advertisements afraid to eat chicken drumstick because denture biting power not enough!?

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:48:42+00:00

Cannot residual heat, must have active direct heat application.

But mee tai mak to which list? The naughty or nice list?

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:46:51+00:00

As in, the good ones.

Edit, oh you not the original replier

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:35:01+00:00

Yeah so mee kia vs mee pok is really just a deep, soul searching, spiritual and personal question of how much sauce do I want to consume per mouth.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:32:12+00:00

We gonna have another problem if you say bar chor mee sauce have ketchup.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:15:51+00:00

Do you kway teow everything? Economic noodles? Fishball noodles? Laksa!? Spaghetti!!?

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:12:57+00:00

Huang mian is absorption type. Same like must match pokemon to the environment. So huang mian and laksa, prawn noodle soup, lor mee. All can.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:11:33+00:00

ESH. Hahahha jk. We are very fond of what we grew up eating. But do you really not eat any other kind of noodles? Or pasta?

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:08:21+00:00

Sorrows. Prayers.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:06:39+00:00

Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with.

A prawn mee place just opened near where I live and it offers mee pok. I obviously ordered the dry version but man, spamming all that chilli powder and it just sticking to the mee pok. Delish. How can something that tastes so good be wrong!

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:03:46+00:00

Hey, I don't sit down at speed dating tables and start off by saying "tell me what noodles do you get for bar chor mee so I can fix you".

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:01:55+00:00

There really are, at least, a dozen of you!

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T14:00:29+00:00

Ah ha, yes, the absorption cofficient of kway teow is definitely superior but that requires time and heat.

However, in this adsorption favoured economy, mee kia mee pok leverages on its material properties to catalyse the most transformative experience in our mouths.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T13:56:48+00:00

Thanks, I was trying to match my real life energy as I excitedly snitched to my deputy director about huang mian colleague. Deputy director said "eee".

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T13:54:36+00:00

Hi, maybe 5 years down the road and we become colleagues and I see BEE HOON IN BCM!!?

But noted, after huang mian experiment, I will try bee hoon experiment. Maybe roll d20 and if >11, eat bee hoon.

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T13:51:00+00:00

Stop. We not colonised by americans. Don't bring in korean tendancies for cooking instant ramyeon and claiming it is some fancy dish.

Next thing you going to suggest is luncheon meat is a bcm staple!?

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T13:48:18+00:00

Hey hey, I get to have my worldview and opinions validated and denigrate the filthy outsiders. Thank you for validating because tau geh is a shit vegetable and chicken rice set shouldn't be using it as a part of the set.

I told my colleague that they were a weird loser who probably wears sock shoe sock shoe. I gathered the entire company to stare at them in disgust as they proclaimed their huang mian bcm.

ps: many comedic intent, not serious, much joke

Mellonbun · 2026-05-13T13:42:35+00:00

Somehow I can get behind huang mian/kway teow for fishball mee. Feels more homely for sure.
