  eat it at least once a week, sometimes 3 - 4 times
  the soup version
  
  but i like the texture of the mee tai mak to be more... 'floury'
  rather than like rubber smooth smooth
  a bit fake
  
  

  That's the problem with all rice noodles made in Singapore today. Must have come from the same factory. Everything translucent and rubbery like worms. If they can make the original white floury type, I bet all hawker foods would taste better, especially laksa. That's also why I avoid all fried hokkien mee stalls that use thick rice noodles instead of the thin beehoon.

  hey but hor actually this stall near my workplace i 'give up' liao cos last I ate, their mee tai mak was rubbery
  BUT today i eat, waaa they change supplier.. its 'floury!'
  
  yah i agree with the thick rice noodles. The fish head beehoon i also stop eating with thick rice noodles, beehoon at least dont taste like rubber band.

  Let's hope this becomes a trend. Back to the white floury unadulterated rice noodles.

  Usually when I or my family members sick, we'll buy bee tai mak.
