Signature Hakka Lei Cha Vermicelli

Inspired by @dafnelately I tried this dish! And it didn’t disappoint. What first sounds weird - drenching your food in a sauce made mainly from tea - actually tasted very good! Mixing up everything and digging in was comforting, there were many tastes and textures due to the variety of ingredients.

I’d argue that this is the best dish at Idealite. It’s a derivative of the Lei Cha (Fan) you’d get at older hawker centres around Malaysia, lacking the staple of roasted nuts and served with a more healthy side of carrots, long beans, cabbage, radish, chickpeas, and tofu. The tea condiment stays true to form and is really savoury. At 226 kcal, this is a really healthy dish as it is also really filling. Really recommended!
