  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
  Is kway teow/yellow noodles/instant bee hoon always soggy when cooked in a certain style?
  
  My breakfast of bee hoon no more soup now.

  Noodles are meant to be blanched not boiled. That's why you usually see mee pok tah seller dip the mee pok into cold water and then 1s into the hot. To stop the cooking process and still keep the noodles warm.
  
  Mee sua is lagi worse, the longer you soak, the saltier it gets.

  ya.. if not put too long, the noodle will 'absorb/soak up' the soup.
