A bowl of broth topped with pork meatballs, shredded Chinese leaf, coriander, spring onions, crispy garlic, crispy onions, chilli oil. You can’t actually see the rice noodles as the bowl is so full, but you can see a line drawing of a little yellow bird peeking out of the broth (part of the bowl’s decoration!) and some chopsticks balanced on the side.

Kyay Oh is a Sino-Burmese dish comprising rice vermicelli soup heaving with a mix of eg pork, meatballs, Chinese leaf, tofu, crispy garlic, quail eggs and more - the choice is yours rather like customising the Vietnamese dish Phở 🍲

The cover of today’s Noodles special from the Observer Magazine showing a noodle pull of Taiwanese petal noodles (花瓣麵) which are wide, ribbon noodles with wavy edges - they resemble the Italian pasta mafaldine.

A photo showing an extract from a print magazine: “Here are some of the best noodle dishes from around the world. By Nicola Miller & Holly O'Neill KYAY OH MYANMAR Named for the copper pot it is cooked in, this Burmese porky fish ball and quail egg noodle dish comes in "dry" or soup variations. MiMi Aye's recipe in Noodle! is great for parties.”

Another image from THE NOODLE ISSUE of today’s Observer Magazine captioned “How we became a nation of noodle lovers”. The image is of a chef doing a noodle pull, this time of knife-cut noodles.

Related, it was the best surprise to see Kyay Oh aka Copper Pot Noodles chosen as one of the Top 20 Noodles in the World by the Observer Magazine!

Thanks also @nicmiller.bsky.social for the shout-out to NOODLE! in today’s @theobserveruk.bsky.social ‘Noodles’ special.
