Hong Lim Delight

My turn to go for early lunch today..went to Hong Lim to try the super long queue Ipoh HorFun..Its really worth the wait..The stall is located on the 2nd level most cornered..very near to the Chinatown point.Its not very obvious to the eye as the pillars blocked their view..You would need to walked to the very end only then you would see it..

In the stall owner perspective I would allow 2 packets of chilli lah..as i know there are really chiili lovers out there like me!However, I will charge the extra packets of chiili sauce that she took!! Really went overboard lah..5 packets of chilli! and the chilli are not those prepacked lor She packed them herself and each packet is filled to the brim only allowing a small section left to secure it..kaoz...
