Shahe Fen 沙河粉
Shahe Fen, a type of Chinese noodle made from rice, is a standard dish. The wide Chinese noodle may vary and can include ho fen, hofen, ho-fen, ho fun, ho-fun, hor fun, hor fen, sar hor fun, etc. It is believed that Shahe fen originated in the town of Shahe, which is now a district of the city of Guangzhou. Shahe fen is typical of southern Chinese cuisine; similar noodles are also prepared and enjoyed in nearby Southeast Asian nations. However, out of all the similar noodles, Shahe fen enjoys far more reputation around the world.
Shahe fen noodles are white, broad, and somewhat slippery. Their texture is elastic and a bit chewy. They do not freeze or dry well and are thus generally purchased fresh, in strips or sheets that may be cut to the desired width. Where fresh noodles are not available, they may also be purchased packaged in dried form, in various widths.
Shahe Restaurant
Shahe specializes in Shahe Fen, which can be ordered either salty or sweet.
