Wu Xiang Xia Bing is mostly found in hawker centres, and is also fast becoming a forgotten delicacy amongst the locals. It is no longer easy to find the Wu Xiang which leaves you begging for more... It's just a simple mixture of different kinds of fried finger food like fishballs, sotong balls, fishcakes, chinese red sausage, prawn cracker, beancurd etc. So what makes a good Wu Xiang Xia Bing?
It seems so easy, just frying some finger food... but it's really more than meets the eye. These small finger food is also made best when it is specially made by the chef. With the right and fresh ingredients to hand-make those meat wraps, sotong yu tiao and fish cake etc, which differs from chef to chef, is what makes the real difference. ONE Important note is that Wu Xiang Xia Bing meal cannot be completed without the bee hoon! A tasty bee hoon is one which is not soggy like it is overcooked, has a distinct yet not overwhelming taste of the dark soy sauce, chewy that it is easily digested. Some people would prefer to go with a little of pepper to add a little excitement to the otherwise plain staple.
Another perfect condiment to go along with this Wu Xiang Xia Bing is the chilli dip, the hotter the better. =)
Over here in this hawker is this little Wu Xiang Xia Bing stall, where their food is fresh and crispy, and the bee hoon pretty much meets the standard i described (however, their quality is not always consistent). I like their chilli dip topped with crushed nuts, it's a pretty good match for the fried food and bee hoon!
