Are all tang hoon brands equivalent?

What is the tanghoon's equivalent of chilli brand (for beehoon)?

Expand  

I've given up buying all brands of tanghoon here.  They all became either broken, soggy or opaque.  There's a no brand variety sold in wet market dried goods stall (sells haebee, mushroom, pkt sauces, etc), prepacked. This one is closest equivalent to the Thai ones that I have. 

Now I use Thai brands except for the one with transparent & maroon packaging (broken n opaque the moment it was added to hot soup).

The brand featured in my precooked pic is slightly yellow becos its is not bleached.

You can find Thai branded tanghoon in shops that sells Thai grocery. I also saw one brand at Tungsun (bedok north).

Went to a hdb vege shop after lunch, to avoid the crowd at supermarkets. Such a sad desolate sight...I meant the empty display boxes & shelvings, all empty, save for a few strands of pathetic yellowish left over leaves.  🙁

Then in one corner, saw this, so glad that most people do not knw how to cook or appreciate it.   Bought this lot, enough to last me for next few days, in a variety of cooking styles.

Nice find. It is getting rare in market for in the recent years. You bought them from some dry market stall / shop in HDB estate?

切丝，炒冬粉虾米。

切片，海鲜猪肉汤。

My mum used to shred them and cook it in fish soup (prepared using kuning fish), add eggs (蛋花), some shred carrot and sliced pork tenderloin. And top up with coriander. Sedap!

My wife prefer to have them sliced and stir fried with shrimp or 虾皮, with or without vermicelli.

Go to those stall at wet market and ask them for 龙口粉丝 from China (not Malaysia or any other country). Price maybe slightly higher than others, but less likely to turn soggy after cooking.

I am currently using this one from SS but not bad, but not the best.
