Chee Cheong Fun (literally translated as pig intestine noodles, in actual it is just flat rice noodles) in
Ipoh and Taiping is different with
Chee Cheong Fun in
Penang and
Chee Cheong Fun in
Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur style is more like
yong tau
fu to me, whilst
Penang ones are mixed with
otak udang (prawn paste). You also have
Hongkies' "fun
cheong", which is another version of
chee cheong fun. Now, why is it called pig intestine noodles? You see,
cheong in
cantonese could mean any food with long round shape like sausages. It happens that this noodle is flat and rolled into such a shape.
Taht is why it is called "fun
cheong". But in Malaysia, we
usually add lard (which used to be a delicacy) to
smoothen the noodles. Hence "
Chee Cheomg Fun".
Anyway, this is just a normal coffee shop at a housing area in
Menglembu. Funny name right? Well if spoken in Cantonese, it sounded slightly like auspicious goodness.

Review
The
Chee Cheong Fun I ordered is with curry fried pork skin. KL people do not know how to cook pork skin. I have yet to taste a good one in KL. If you have never tasted the good ones, it should be crisp+tender+slightly soft. In KL, it is either a soggy lump or hard rubber. The down side is that the noodles are cold. Some food are meant to be eaten cold, but not this.

We also ordered some fish paste accompaniments from another stall.
Alamak... I have not tasted this for so long... Well I can't vouch if this taste good or not because the taste is exactly the same as those I had near my hometown during my childhood days. These are simply my sweet memories.

Then we have
IPOH WHITE COFFEE. The ready made 3 in 1 can never fight this.

Note: CSG, I know you don't eat beef, so this post is an addition for your reading pleasure.
