Bee Tai Mak or aka Lou Shu Fen is a type of noodles made from rice starch. The shape of the noodles resemble the pin needle and this is how the noodle get its name. Some people also calls it Lou Shu Fen which means rat noodles as the shape also resembles the shape of the mouse's tail. Bee Tai Mak cooked in claypot is a commonly seen zi char dish in Malaysia. This is one of my favourite quick meal to cook at home!

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
