She said the bun noodles, thought to have originated from Teluk Intan, were made using a traditional method that produces a chewy and smooth texture. 'We used to make the bun noodles ourselves but due to time and labour constraints, we resorted to buying it even though it tastes a little different.'

Suriati said the recipe for the bun noodle dish came from her husband's grandmother, the late Ramlah Hassan who was the daughter of one of the early settlers of Kampung Haji Hassan. Suriati said Ramlah used to sell the dish in the 1940s. It was considered fast food because of its quick preparation. A Yeop Din customer, Mohamad Zaifarul Zainal Abidin said the combination of fried bun noodles with peanut sauce was rarely found elsewhere, making the dish quite special. 'Outsiders may initially find it strange to eat fried bun noodles with peanut sauce, but after trying it, they are won over.' Another customer, Amirudin Mohamad Ali said eating bun noodles with peanut sauce reminded him of his childhood. 'In the past, my mother would wrap bun noodles in banana leaves, put them in rattan trays and serve them to my siblings and I,' he said.
