SIN: Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun @ Pek Kio Market & Food Centre

Tasty 'chee cheong fun' worth queueing up for!

Chee cheong fun is a Cantonese dish of steamed rice noodle rolls originating from Guangdong Province in southern China and Hong Kong. I love them doused in soy sauce and sesame oil. Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun at Pek Kio Market & Food Centre has been dishing out lovely ones for more than 10 years.


Here's a very short video clip on how the rice noodle sheet is transferred to an oiled metal surface using a piece of cloth prior to rolling and cutting.


Let's take a look at the two variants that I ordered.



Char Siew Chee Cheong Fun S$4.00
Taste: 8/10

While reminiscing about the territory that's way more controlled by Beijing now, I enjoyed the rice noodle rolls that had a silky smooth texture, although I have to say that they were quite oily. They were chock full of minced barbecued pork, which was leaning towards the sweeter side and thus the savoury mix of soy sauce and sesame oil.



Prawn Chee Cheong Fun S$5.00
Taste: 8/10

I also had the prawn version, which featured enough succulent and rather bouncy prawns. I'd certainly love to have bigger sized ones though. The mildly spicy chili wasn't too shabby, although there wasn't anything to rave about. Also, how lovely it'd be to have spring onions as a topping in addition to sesame seeds.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 8/10

This isn't about patriotism, but I really dislike the dark, sweet sauce served in our local style chee cheong fun. Pika's advice: I've never had chee cheong fun filled with scallops before, and it was a pity that it wasn't available when I dropped by. You may want to try it for S$6.00.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Are you a fan of their rich specialty sauce? Entrecôte  is a French term that refers to a premium boneless cut of beef from the rib area, which is typically used for steaks and roasts.
