I have been jonesing for chow fun for quite a while.  There was a vendor in Chinatown who would sell 3 or 4 different types of rice noodles; one could get a sackful for like $2.  But when I went for a walk the other day, she was no longer to be found. Other stores I stopped into led to no success either. So I asked around, and found out a place called Kong Kee sells them, and I took another walk in that direction yesterday...

I don't know what those characters translate to in English, but the address matched the one I googled. And sure enough, rice noodles! More expensive than before, but a few bucks netted me about 3 or 4 lbs. of them...

As discussed elsewhere, wok hei is not happening too often at home. Now Serious Eats has figured out how to do it, (they call it torch hei) but I'm not in the mood for firing up the torch, and or burning down my apartment. So - I just stir-fried them, with a little beef and greens...
