You may know of mung bean vermicelli, cellophane noodles or glass noodles but more importantly, do you know what this is called in Teochew?  

In Mandarin it is called fen3si1 粉絲 and I have heard my Cantonese friend calling it fan2 si1 粉絲 and I have discovered there are lots of name for this noodles.   

I call it dang1hung1 冬粉 but do you know it has a very ancient name which is called hung2ciam1 粉纖｜粉纤 and I heard Iab Hui 業飛 calling it hung2ciam1 and I accidentality found this word in Zhang Xiao Shan's second edition dictionary today on page 877.
