I have tried this spicy beehoon (rice vermicelli) in hawker center. When my son asked for some spicy noodles I checked what type of noodles I have in my pantry I had only rice vermicelli so my son suggested mee siam. I searched for the recipe it needed some ingredients which I didn’t have it so I convinced him to have dosa first and following weekend when he was home I made this Mee siam. He liked it and commented that it tasted almost same as what he can eat in hawker center.
