Hi Kuen - Oh yes, I can see why you miss bunga kantan. After missing the flavor for years, I just couldn't help to throw in bunga kantan in many of my dishes since I came back here. Definitely one great spice that cannot be replaced. They should have two rounds of Malaysian Food Festival in London!

Hi Christy - I'd love to try the other two versions that you mentioned too. Always fun to keep a few good versions for one dish. And you're right, we are fortunate that we have the access to all these great flavors!

Thank you for sharing your recipe and your gorgeous photos of the dish set me drooling over my all time favourite dish. Although one could substitute certain ingredients as you have suggested but, the fragrance of bunga kantan is one that I am missing the most. Just have to wait and hope for the Malaysia Food Festival in London to come round again.

I love Nyonya food; and it's a good thing that I have easy access to them too!:) Even in Malaysia, the Nyonya style differs from the north, center and the south; with the north being more of the spicy and exotic nature while the southern style is more creamy and rich.
Nyonya Kerabu bee hoon is an appetizing dish, and I have tried two versions which were exceptionally good, and I am about to say that yours look like it could make the third!:D

Ahh! How wonderful that you had the opportunity to try out Nyonya cuisine. I remember reading a fiction novel & the author too described Nyonya cooking as one of the world's greatest secret!

After I started blogging I learned about the word Nyonya (call it Nyo-nya or Nyon-ya?) from Malaysian/Singaporean bloggers. I am waiting for the day I can visit and have the authentic flavor. A little bit worry about the spice but I'm sure I'll find some way to enjoy it. I have a good Malaysian ex-coworker: I should really ask the best Malaysian food restaurant around here. I see so many great foods on blogs, but I don't see any restaurants (must be hidden!). I love your Bee Hoon, Reese. Beautiful layers of colors and textures.

I encountered Nyonya cooking on my first visit to Singapore. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I love the creative mix of the cultures in this insanely delicious and appealing food. So happy to have this lovely recipe. Thanks.

Bee hoon or we call it Bihon is one of the favorite noodles back home in the Philippines to make the pancit noodles. This dish must be very flavorful with all of the spices that you put in there. Nice, Reese!
