Interesting, and Lucas is so authentic. I understood what he meant by churng fun, which I've had countless times at dim sum restaurants. I didn't know they were wheat though, I assumed they were rice as well. Anyway, I really enjoy it with the soy sauce they pour over them, which isn't as salty, I think it's a soy sauce that is mellowed with some sugar and possibly a few other ingredients so it's less salty. I've seen it labeled as soy sauce for fish, but it seems to work great on tofu, veggies, and other items where you're not looking for as strong a flavor.

I've had chee cheong fun in Malaysia before, I wouldn't say it's one of my faves, in general I'm not fond of rice noodles, probably because of the texture. But as Lucas said, it's a blank canvass and it kind of absorbs whatever flavor of the ingredient it is mixed with, compared to egg noodles for example. It's interesting how the chinese cuisine has spread around the globe due to the immigrants. some recipes have evolved into new ones depending on the ingredients available in the area.

The lady owner is such a sweetheart! We have a similar dish in Malaysia called 'laksam', which I think is a sort of specialty in Kelantan, one of the states in which I currently live in. It's served with broth made from coconut milk, some chilli paste and some greens, usually spring onions. It does look and taste rather bland but the saltiness of the broth and the slight kick from the chilli kind of brings the flavours together, I guess.

if you folks are putting out shows on Hawaiian food, when is it gonna show? So far, I've seen Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese, Caucasian, and now Chinese food. You gotta do a whole video on the Mana Pa'i'ai folks, Daniel and crew, and what they are doing to revive the method of pounding taro, breadfruit into a real Hawaiian super food, Pa'i'ai. thx Lucas!

My Mom makes something that translates to pig intestine gaw similar to look fun, but also traditional dim sum rice roll. Green onion in a thin rice roll, like the look fun, except you don't roll it all together, but stuff the middle of the roll with preserved vegetable, peanuts, and dried meat. Awesome village food.

They look delish and remind me of the Vietnamese banh cuon, which I absolutely love! 'Cept we eat our banh cuon with a ton more stuff on it and flavored fish sauce, of course. :)
