"Mee Hoon Palak"

This is the RM5 "Mee Hoon Palak" I had for lunch today. Mee Hoon is Malay (or chinese?) for bean vermicelli, while "Palak" in Bahasa Melayu Sarawak means head. It's actually a mix of some vegetables (sayur asin, terung asam, ginger..) and fish, served in an 8 inch bowl. But I didn't find any "palak" in the mixture so I was wondering where the name "mee hoon palak" came from. Hmmm... oh, and it tastes great! The shop is located behind Miri Square (can't remember the shop's name).
