One of those dishes which has acquired tastes, the Chao Ta Bee Hoon ($10) may look deceivingly underwhelming, but it sure packed a punch - I chose this dish initially thinking that I wouldn't be able to finish it, but little did I know I'd want more of it!

Treasure lies under the bed of wokhei-covered beehoon; a mix of fried egg, shrimps, crabsticks, beansprouts and sotong - remember not to neglect the sambal limau!
