I had lots of fun preparing this delightful dish since it always reminded me of the good old school days rushing to get it hot at the canteen before the line become too long for little old impatient me. Don't be fooled by the look of this simple dish though cause it requires lots of preparation.

Once all the ingredients are prepared and ready, cooking it can be done in a jiffy. This dish can be found prominently to my knowledge in Ipoh, Penang and Kuala Lumpur; with many vouching that the Ipoh's version is the best. Anyways do give this a try and also kindly note that the following recipe is allocated for two person.

I've made this before too! Wat Dan Hor! Yes, take a bit of prepration, but the result is worth waiting for. I'm even procrastinating doing this with leftovers the next time, but due to the egg, maybe the leftover won't taste as good!

Hehehe... leftovers hor. Careful not too old tho cause the taste will seep into the sauce which can be quite noticeable lor. :D

Hey Daryl,

great website! Your Malaysian recipes are certainly very practical and easy to follow. Furthermore, it is a rare sight for me to come across a passionate Malaysian who loves to cook these days.

A passionate cook and foodie myself, I used to have a blog of something like yours but never got round to keep updating it (too busy la). So thanks YOU for the food blog!
