The silkiest smoothest rice noodles covered in thick prawn paste sauce, heady and pungent, with a hint of sweetness and drizzled in a cloud of sesame seeds. My ultimate die die must eat meal.
If only it weren’t so far away.

Pity the wait only. Better stand around, and carry own plates, ala fast food. Best way to get her attention. Or continue snapping and smiling away. That worked as well.
Mr Chee’s offsprings (Cheong Fun and Yau Char) then decided to adopt Engrish names – Meena and Tanga…
Do you know how long it takes to make a decent plate of CCF? I don’t know either. Each time I make one roll, we wallop it immediately while waiting for the other roll to cook. So there is never enough rolls to fill up an entire plate…
well, u can head 2 Chempaka Village (authentic Penang delight)
in Aman Suria 4 ur CCF cravings. Maybe, not as silkiest smoothest rice noodles(“2 ur standard”) but come wif prawn paste n sesame seeds. Assam laksa is good too! Chk it out urself!

Wow~ It’s definitely looks and taste delicious =)
That is a thing of beauty!! (Disclaimer: never had them before. But now I really really want to.)
You can try one (equally nice) in KL’s Petaling Street, but you have to know how to dig into small alley and bear with the smells 🙂
Trust me, the Chee Cheong Fun is nice.
arghh now you made me crave for one too, the Penang ones!
uLi: It is delicious!
Manggy: Come to Malaysia! 🙂
Elvin: Thanks, Elvin. Will check it out.

Foodbin, yes it is. Hmmm forgot to label it.

Hehe, oh but I love giant turkey drumsticks… 🙂
Yes, Chee Cheong Fan rates as one of my favourites too. The kids love it as well so its a double does most times!

ZOMG. I haven’t heard that name in forever and O.o, even Chee Cheong Fun aunties have a business card? Penang has grown up! So proud…
I will definitely get my share of CCF whenever I go Penang… but for the meantime, have to satisfy those cravings in KL

Me minus you equals blue…
394km is a drop in the ocean compared to 5594km..
Imagine if Mr Chee named his child Cheong Fun..
Munkeyboy: Yes, we are. Woooooo!
LFB: Is that code for something else?
Dharm: It’s so simple and yet so delicious, isn’t it? Yes, train your kids well. 🙂
daphne: My friend, GFAD, makes her own chee cheong fun from scratch in Abu Dhabi. So cool, hor.

Leroy Luar: Don’t be surprised if you find a website as well. hehehe.
thule: Yeah, thankfully, there are places that sell PG CCF here.
ciki: Pbbbthh.
jason: *sob*
J2Kfm: Hehehe. That’s what we did too.
gfad: True, but you make your own CCF. You’re such an amazing chef (and person) lah. Mr Chee can name his other child Yau Char.
hahahahahahaa….. the giant drumstick caught my attention!!! hahahahaa… btw, i didn’t know this CCF is established since 1955??

NKOTB: I didn’t know that either! Amazing thing one learns from biz cards. Must ask our parents if they remember…
gfad: Who’s Tanga? Eh, must be nice for the family to eat piping hot homemade CCF, eh? Your family’s so lucky to have you.
