Mid-week Cravings – Chee Cheong Fun at Seow Fong Lye Cafe, Penang
7Jan2010 Filed under: Food Type: Hawker Fare, LOCATION: PENANG Author: Lyrical Lemongrass
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.

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.

I will definitely get my share of CCF whenever I go Penang… but for the meantime, have to satisfy those cravings in KL

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.

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.
backStreetGluttons: I’ll love you forever if you do that. hehe.
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??

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…

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.
