Normally, I would eat Heng Hua Noodles there until recently I found another place that makes better Heng Hua Noodles. LOL!  And that gave me a chance to try other things which indeed, I found something greater! Tip # 3: What I like about 彩丝辣面:  The creativity! Cause the direct translation of  彩丝辣面  means ' Spicy Rainbow Noodle' .  Though you don't get a rainbow colour, the dish is colourful enough with raw red cabbage, white cabbage, black fungus, shredded carrot and maritated meat dipped into their specially made sauce *yum~* You know how our breakfast in kopitiam is either: a) Full of Carbs e.g. Kolo Mee/Roti Kiap    or...
