from experience, wheat noodles are more “springy”, almost like pasta, it’s full to the bite. perfect example would be tasty dumplings (http://arpeelazaro.com/2007/12/10/siomai-vs-kuchay-dumplings/) rice noodles, which usually comes in strips, are less springy and, for me, feel like egg noodles. not as full but heavy on the belly, like puto. rice noodles are more delicate and seem like they mash more easily when you stir them too much on your plate. i like rice noodles in ho-fan. wheat noodles, i like for anything with soup or thin sauce.

i’ve tried only a few laksa and the noodles looked like the one in ur photo. just curious, how does one distinguish the wheat from rice noodle (color, thickness, texture?) my first taste of peranakan food happened 8 years ago in malacca. thanks for the nostalgia!
