The real talk

Ipoh hor fun is those famously smooth, silky flat rice noodles in a clear prawn and chicken stock, topped with shredded chicken, prawns and spring onion. Because nothing is fried and the broth is clear, it is genuinely light, around 360 calories with 20g of protein and only about 7g of fat. For a noodle bowl, that is a great ratio.

This is one of the smarter orders on this whole list bro. The only version to watch is the dry sar hor fun, tossed in dark soy and oil, which climbs to around 510. Stick to the soup and you have a light, high protein, satisfying bowl.
