  4. ASSEMBLY; In a soup plate, place 100g of Rice noodles and pour in the broth. Top it with 20 g of Red Chilli, 20 g of Ginger Flower, 20 g of Red Onion, 1 Calamansi Lime, a few mint leaves and 40 g of cucumber. Optionally, you can also add pineapples and Hae Ko (shrimp paste).

To serve, simply put the rice noodles in a bowl and ladle the boiling soup onto the noodles. Topped with fish flakes, cucumber, pineapple, lettuce, red chillies, bunga kantan, mint leave and shrimp paste.
