Thoughts: Last visit here was October 20, 2020 before Covid2.0 Lockdown, it was 釀豆腐 Yong Tao Foo & 怡保蝦米豬腸粉 Ipoh Chee Cheong for dinner on the first visit. BUT today's breakfast is the rm$8.30 "怡保河嘻 Ipoh Hor Hee". Apparently the noodle is a very "Ipoh thing" is a soup noodle of 河粉 flat rice noodle or hor fun with fish ball, fish cake, fish wanton, and lots of vegetables (I think 生菜 shredded lettuce). It seems that the triangular shaped 魚皮雲吞 fish wanton or 魚餃 fish sui kao is a unique feature of this Ipoh Noodle but unfortunately only one piece comes with the standard bowl. But at the entrance to the interior table area is the counter for customer to choose add-on fresh home-made Yong Tao Foo (both fried and soup versions) and maybe around 30+ choices. Overall, at least the super light fish-soup based noodle looks and feels healthy and tasty! I think "冬菜 preserved vegetables or tong choy" (a usual ingredient) wasn't in today's bowl Hor Hee Noodle.
Fun Facts: "河嘻 Hor Hee" is actually a 潮州語 Teowchew language pronunciation for the word "鱼丸 Fish Ball or something like Hu Yee in Teowchew" and the name could have been accidental! The story goes that 潮州人 Teowchew people in Ipoh who sold fish ball hor fun soup back then, hired 廣東人 Cantonese 代筆在販攤寫招牌 "signboard ghostwriter" for their stalls; and the Cantonese people transliterated 潮州鱼丸 Teow chew fish balls into "河嘻 Hor Hee" without understanding the reason. So, "河嘻 Hor Hee" is likely an extended version of 潮州魚丸粿條湯 Teochew fish ball kuay teow.
