They do what we have today "FAST FOOD", they cooked the "kway teow" before hand & set aside, then when the dish is ordered, they throw in the kway teow ( pre-cooked), then add the ingredients, like you know CRAB STICK, instead of chye sim, we get cabbage!, then silver of pork etc & just add the gravy of corn starch, salt etc...no lard, that gives the hor fun the oomph..plus that smokey burnt taste I mention..
The current hor fun out there is only fit for certain 'dogs'...they are the ones will messed things up, so it is only fit for their consumption..

i remember one stall in people's park many years ago. my mum used to bring them to eat the hor fun. really wok and all...very very shiok!
now I gave up on hor fun ...pre-fried cold kwayteow....some don't even fried at all......add some miserable slices of fish cake,frozen thin slices of pork ,two small stale prawns....and add crab stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
let me quote a place where i find that the hor fun is nice and delicious.
its at geylanf lor 8, the 'wang jiao' dim sum. u can find some zhi char dishes there like crispy noodles, hor fun etc.
ok, the hor fun they offer still have most of the things that some one decribe here:
half boil runny egg white . checked.
2 fresh prawn ( tasted fresh to me). checked.
pork. checked.
slices of fish. checked
sotong ring and the legs. checked.
thick gravy (indication with starch). checked.
veges. checked.
hor fun noodles with a bit of burnt taste . checked.
try it. its only $5.

Yeah, that hor fun is good. After that can go eat durian
Happy new year Kopiuncle.
Wow ! you also like the hor fun there
Yes, after that eat durian and then eye some good roasted chicken for supper and dessert with the smooth silken tofu nearby too....HUAT AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow ! you also like the hor fun there
You eat so much then how to go piak piak the china girls?
Kopi, never eat at this stall's h/f, what they did is to pre-prepare eveything; and once the order comes in, they just heat up the gravies throw in the precooked ingredients and pour them over the hor fun !..
I wouLd call this method 'Cheating'.

maybe so when they are very busy....they will short cut...like the famous taiwah buckchomee. i saw the uncle pre cooked the ingredients and put aside.....and then just threw in after the mee was cooked....but still not bad leh..
soon many short cuts will come our way...and our traditional food will go down the drain. many baba and nonya food have gone liao!!! just too many short cuts here and there...no more a labour of love...HUAT AH!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is known as the "or-lan-chow hor-fun".
The hor fun at People's Park Food Centre not bad, got the taste one can find in the 80s'. Located beside the mint shop Missed the hor fun that da bao in banana leave which ingredients include pig stomach n liver. I hate the gravy that most hawkers made nowadays which taste like long kang water.

Lor9 standards dropped liao....still beh paiseh display 牛河大王....now PRC cooks spoil everything.
Opposite someone mentioned Wong Kok dim sum now up their game and their beef hor fun now taste better.
Frog porridge also lost out to lor 3 sin ma G7.
last time the beef horfun.. fried by a fat auntie.the horfun really got the smoky wok smell.knn now the kway teow...machiam used candle to fry.maybe fried all in 1 shot,then store in warmer bucket.
if really want to fried 10 packet in 1 shot, at least use the type of fire in rocket launching la
