Chee Cheong Fun

Chee Cheong Fun

Chee Cheong Fun usually eaten as breakfast, flat sheets made from rice flour, is steamed soft then cut up and topped with sweet sauce (tee Cheou), chilli sauce, thick black shrimp paste (Hae Ko) and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.

Having it drenched in the shrimp paste is Penang’s specialty. You can choose to have all the sauces or request for less sauce depending on your preference and can be ordered in either ‘opened’ or ‘closed’ form. ‘Closed’ means the rice rolls will be served in its original form – rolled up, firm and intact. If ordered ‘opened’ the rice rolls would have its ‘opening’ peeled off by hand then loosened into a koay teow like shape, making them easier to coat with the prawn paste. Usually, a mixture of ‘opened’ and ‘closed’ rice rolls would be given.

There are many Chee Cheong Fun stalls in penang
