Trishaw noodles, like the vehicle, are hard to find these days. The humble traditional dish is cooked in a pot with just a few ingredients, like noodles, dried shrimps and chye sim. It was so-named as it used to be the main form of sustenance for olden-day trishaw pullers, who needed a hearty, filling meal to replenish their energy after a laborious day. The noodles were also no-frills, as it had to be cost-friendly for the blue-collar workers who depend on it.
