Cake noodle is a local specialty that every Chinese restaurant in the state serves. Everyone on this rock loves that stuff! When the Hawaiians go to a Chinese restaurant on the mainland they are saddened to hear that nobody there knows what cake noodle is. That's the breaks.

Cake noodle looks exactly like ramen... before cooking it's a hard
cake.
