Sino-Mauritian fried noodles

Mine frit

Editorial interpretation

Mine frit is the Mauritian fried-noodle plate: a Chinese technique that has lived here long enough to be local. You order it from Sino-Mauritian takeaways, night stalls, and Port Louis Chinatown. It should taste of wok heat, not of steaming under a lid for an hour. 'Mine' is the island word you will actually hear. Bol renversé (upside-down rice bowl) is the cousin, not the same dish.

Mine frit with a protein you actually eat. Add pickles if they put a jar out.

What locals order — $0.99

$0.99 once. Local foodie and experience advice: what to order, when the stall dies, hotel grill vs village kitchen, what tourists miss. Ads off. The rest of the guide stays free.
