I’m starting to notice a trend where many of my best food finds in a year tend to come in December. @tuckkeeson follows this trend, as they thrilled me with their Yu Kong Hor, or 月亮河粉 as it is known everywhere else. At just $9.30 flat for this big plate, not only are you loading up on quantity, you’re also getting a plate loaded with quality.⠀

My number one for 月亮河粉 has been KEK for many years, and Tuck Kee Son is the only one that can go toe to toe with them. Pitting Tuck Kee Son against KEK is the culinary equivalent of having prime Mike Tyson fighting prime Muhammad Ali. Two superstar heavyweights with punch, and both are legends in their own right.⠀

Tuck Kee Son’s Yu Kong Hor is incredibly delicious, with oodles of kway teow fried together with lots of sliced pork, prawns and some veggies in a stellar soy sauce mix that turns all the components into a sapid superstar. Additionally, there is a fair amount of wok hei in the dish that’s been imparted during cooking, resulting in a sensually smoky plate of flat rice noodles. But wait, it gets even better! Mix in the raw egg that inspired the name of this dish of extra creamy, rich and silky noodles, and savour every sublime slurp of smoky, savoury & slick hor fun.⠀

Oh man, I’ve just given myself an intractable craving for this marvellous Yu Kong Hor. Thank you so much for the invite, @shiokafoodie & @tuckkeeson!
