Yeah, yeah, I know this is a pretty weird question to ask. After all, fried bee hoon is rather ubiquitous in the context of Singapore. You can find it almost everywhere! For those not familiar with Singapore cuisine, bee hoon is a kind of thin noodle that is made from rice.
But wait a sec, is this really bee hoon? Take a closer look!
Perhaps I should ask another question. What is it exactly? Fried bee hoon, it is not. So my clever readers, can you try to guess the answers to these 2 questions:
– what in the world is this yellow squiggly thing?
– where in the world did I find it? By that, I mean the exact location!
Hint #1… friends of yesterday.sg would probably know the answers already!
Hint #2… Some of you may get squeamish when you find out what it is!
Haha! The answers would be in my next post! Meanwhile, have fun guessing!

Hi Veron,
I suspect its a bunch of worms, and you come across them beside some seaweeds on a beach….?
Anyway, I don’t know why you’re feeling down or what happen to you….if you wanna share, you would have mentioned it…so most likely you wanna keep it personal, have a bit of time and space to focus your full attention to deal with it….meanwhile the blog can wait…so do take care….

Xwings: You’re pretty close! It ain’t worms, although when I saw it that was my initial impression too.
Glenn: Right. Keep guessing!
Hai~Ren: You amaze me boy. You were right on!
Steph: Teehee! This is a hard one.
Don’z: Rubber band, it is not.

It’s probably at some tidal flats like Chek Jawa or Kusu Island.
Perhaps you were at a reef walk?
The “bee hoon” is probably seaweed.
Or it could just be “yi mee” that somebody dropped.

Thanks everyone, for your enthusiastic responses and concern for me!
As for the answers to the 2 questions, perhaps Hai~Ren can answer them. He got both right! And I was so sure no one would know the answers!
More in my next post!

Haha, it’s actually the eggs of a sea hare, which is actually a kind of marine slug. The photo was taken at Chek Jawa.
