The Battle Of The Chee Cheong Fun(s)!

Jeng Jeng Jeng!!! Today Simon Lover is doing something you guys would never think of, yet again!!! -- There's no sexy guys pictures!!! Hehehehe.....

So, continuing my Penang post .....

The Battle Of The Chee Cheong Fun(s)!

Main Actor: Chee Cheong Fun ( steamed rice noodle roll )


The Plain Chee Cheong Fun

Once upon a time, little Simon had his first taste of chee cheong fun, the ala KL or Klang version ( dark, sweet sauce served with yong-tau-foo dishes and peanuts ). It's always fun to stand beside the CCF stall and pick which yong-tau-foo,e.g "foo chuk", fish balls; u like to go with your plain CCFs. And for the next 19 years, the weekly Saturday Night Market has been my favourite haunt of KL-style CCF's! -- Suffice to say, i fell in love with it ( and i still do now =P ).


Yong Tau Foo-style Chee Cheong Fun

As the years goes by, little Simon have evolved into a sexy young twink; wiser enough to begin, exploring the dangerous world of CCFs. The First stop, Penang-style CCFs, served with thick heh-ko ( shrimp paste ) and some chilli paste / sesame seeds / fried onions ).


Penang Style "Heh-Ko" Chee Cheong Fun

Since The Horny BF came from a quintessential town of Little Guilins, i was introduced to the Ipoh-style CCFs. First, is Ipoh's famous Mushroom Sauce CCFs or in cantonese, "Tong Ku Chap" CCF.

Then, there's also another of Ipoh's specialty, The Sweet & Spicy Sauce CCFs ( in cantonese : "Tim Cheong Lat Jiu" sauce ) served with pickled green chillies.

I also lost my virginity to Ming Court's ( One of Ipoh's most famous Dim Sum restaurant ), Hong Kong-style CCFs, freshly steamed and is stuffed with prawns ( occasionally with "char siew" /  barbequed pork as well ), served in soya sauce.

 Having tried so many versions of chee cheong fun, i was again in awed when i discovered that there's a Curry-style Chee Cheong Fun as well!

Then a few years back, the ever hamsap Simon Lover was posted to work in a small, peaceful town where he was again, managed to achieve self-orgasm with Teluk Intan-style CCF, with fried dried shrimps fillings served with pickled green chillies.

A-Ha...And Nearly forgot about it, the rare CCF served in sesame oil and sesame seeds ( "ji ma" in cantonese ).

And the list goes on & on...But those are the most common ones that i have eaten before. So, which version do you think i like the MOST leh?.....Hahaha..With such a big picture below, no doubt is the Penang Heh-Ko Chee Cheong Fun of course!!!! Nowadays, everytime i visit Penang, the only food that i really crave for till i get a cold-turkey if i didn't had one, is not the char kuey teow, asam laksa, cendol, or hokkien mee either, but it's their CCF of course! There's a few stalls that i always haunt, namely the ones in Sin Seow Fong Lye@ Lorong McCalister, the stall in Kimberley Street and Little Genting, Delima Island Glades. Hahahaha.....

And so, which Version Do You Guys Like leh?

Do leave some comments ya! Muacks From Simon Lover!
