From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lai fun is a variety of Chinese noodle that is chubby, round, and fat. It is commonly found in Hong Kong and to some degree among overseas Chinatowns. Its name comes from the Cantonese language.
[edit] Production
Lai fun noodles are made from rice flour and are available in short or long varieties.
[edit] Comparison
Lai fun has a very similar appearance with silver needle noodles. One way to distinguish the two is to look at the ends of each lai fun piece. The ends of lai fun noodles are often cut straight down as opposed to leaving a tapering "tail."

The long version looks nearly identical to Italian spaghetti
