The Bean Sprout Chicken meal comprises a place of chicken, a plate of blanched bean sprouts, and a bowl of hor fun (flat rice noodles or "Chinese lasagna"). The speciality of the meal is the smoothness of the hor fun and the crunchiness and taste of the bean sprout. According to local explanation, the taste is the result of the alkaline spring water from the limestone hills in Ipoh used in the making of the hor fun and the growing of the bean sprouts.
In fact, bean sprout chicken is a salty, oily meal rich in MSG. It is really better for the tongue than for the body.
