Origin
Ba mee hoi jor is a famous dish originating from the Chinese community in Bangkok, especially in the Yaowarat district. It began as a dry Cantonese-style noodle dish seasoned with a rich, savory broth and an array of toppings. The name "Hoi Jor" comes from Hokkien Chinese, meaning "dry noodles" or "non-boiled noodles," reflecting its preparation method that avoids boiling the noodles in hot soup like typical ramen.
