The Been Hoon Kuay comprises a soupy bowl of handmade noodles topped with minced pork, ikan billis, pork lard, fried shallots, and a creamy soft-boiled egg. The noodles are served with chilli on the side, which allows customers to adjust the level of spice according to their liking. As for the handmade noodles, they’re said to be al dente with a light springiness.
There’s also a dry version of this dish, which comes with a bowl of soup on the side.
