[edit] Kwei tiao spelling

Isn't 粿 an alternate first character for kwei tiao? Badagnani 11:19, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Guo fen (粿粉)

I just bought a package of this; dried square rice noodle strips that coil up when boiled. Is this simply another name for guotiao or is this a separate kind of noodle? Badagnani 22:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I pretty sure it's the same stuff. Semi-translucent? 20:42, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit]

Does anyone know of this dish? I saw it on a menu in Ohio, USA. It's labeled "yat gat mein." Badagnani 23:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

It means "one house/family noodle", but a homonym is used for the "noodle" character. I don't know what kind of dish it is, though. Citrus538 21:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guotiao/Shahefen

Guotiao and Shahefen are listed in the article as separate types of noodles, but I think they're the same thing. Badagnani 02:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
