The fermented shrimp paste announces itself before the rice vermicelli arrives, which is exactly why No.4 Belachan Bee Hoon, Cuttle Fish &amp; Kang Kong at Song Kheng Hai is worth approaching with an appetite and an open mind.</p>

<p dir="auto">This stall's story is more specific than a generic hawker-centre recommendation. The recipe came through the operator's father-in-law, who sold belacan bee hoon around the KMC Flats before the family moved into the food centre. The broth is not a quick pour: the belacan is roasted, blended with herbs and simmered for up to four hours, then balanced with palm sugar and chilli sauce.</p>

<p dir="auto">The normal set is the sensible starting point; add the century egg version if you want the richer RM8 plate. I would keep the supplied chilli, palm-sugar sauce or vinegar nearby, because the dish is deliberately pungent and the condiments let you move it from salty-fermented to sweeter, sharper or hotter. Sotong kangkung is the natural side order.</p>
