Try out this unique rendition of the Teochew classic dish, cai poh kway teo.
Sometimes, the simplest ingredients can create some of the most impactful flavours, given a boost from the Maillard reaction. The cai poh hor fun here at Poh is a case-in-point.
You may be surprised that only a few simple and inexpensive ingredients go into this classic Teochew dish: hor fun; cai poh; eggs; and pork lard. And shrimps are probably the priciest ingredient in this dish, which only adds a tasty facet to its flavours.
But trust me, this cai por hor fun is bursting with flavours and "wok hei", despite the nondescript ingredients. And if you ask me, I would readily label this as a "comfort food" — a real pick-me-up when you need a quick boost on a bad day, and just makes you happier on an already exhilarating day.
One recommendation, though, is to skip the factory-made chilli paste if you can, as it doesn't enhance the flavours of this dish and may potentially do it injustice. In my view, this dish is already super delish on its own.
So, head down to Poh Preserved Veg Hor Fun for a 'cheap thrill' today, for just $6. I am sure that you won't be disappointed. Take my word and stamp of approval for it.
