The Penang Chee Cheong Fun (豬腸粉), also written Chee Cheong Fan, a popular Penang hawker food of steamed flat rice noodle rolls. 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 its own version of Chee Cheong Fun which is different from what you would get elsewhere in Malaysia. Unlike the Hong Kong style, which is often freshly made and stuffed with prawns, the Penang hawker version of Chee Cheong Fun is kept at a ready in a steamer. It is served with condiments such as the thnee cheo (a sweet dark-red sauce), hae ko (black, prawn paste sauce), huan cheo chiau (chili sauce), oil, and sprinkled with sesame seeds, but other than these, it is devoid of any accompaniments which you would get with Chee Cheong Fun elsewhere in the country. Puritan Penangites swear that this is the way to enjoy Chee Cheong Fun.

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.
