What is Chee Cheong Fun

Chee Cheong Fun (also written Chee Cheong Fan), a dish of steamed flat rice noodle rolls, is a popular Penang hawker food. This is a Cantonese dish that originated from Southern China and Hong Kong - the chee-cheong-fun Chee Cheong Fun comes from Cantonese; the name translated literally means "pig intestine noodle" - not the most appetizing picture to the mind, but it is from this appearance that the dish acquired its name.

Penang has come up with its own version of serving Chee Cheong Fun. Unlike the Hong Kong style, which is often freshly made and stuffed with prawns, the Penang hawker version of Chee Cheong Fun is devoid of any meat. The steamed rice noodles are served with thnee cheo (a sweet dark-red sauce), hae ko (black, prawn paste sauce), huan cheo chiau (chili sauce), oil, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Puritan Penangites swear that this is the way to enjoy Chee Cheong Fun.
