Chap ChyeChap Chye (14 April 2013)


Share


Chap Chye (Chinese: 雜菜 Penang Hokkien Taiji: Cap3 Chye3), is a popular dish among the Chinese in Penang. The name literally translates as "ten vegetables".

Chap Chye got its name from the mix of various vegetables as well as various types of beancurd sticks. It is often misstood for "ten vegetables" among those who are not familiar with Chinese characters (who misstood the word 雜 for 十). On this page I want to share with you our family recipe for making chap chye. I hope you will be able to make it yourself, assuming you are able to get all the ingredients.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
