Genting Kopitiam chu cheong fun: that is our target for today. When we arrived, we could see almost every table has chu cheong fun plate. No doubt this is one of the best chu cheong fun stalls in Penang and some people were purposely here just for it.

The chu cheong fun is quite soft and stretchy. The thickness is just right like koay teow and it will not taste like a lump when you put into your mouth.



The chu cheong fun was sprinkled with sesame seeds which produced a bit of fragrance when served to us. But our experienced was that sometimes these sesame seeds could stick at the gap of your teeth which could be uncomfortable. That would be something to pay attention to when you do not take good care of your teeth, like us …



What we like about the chee cheong fun at this stall is the prawn paste used. In fact, this stall is famous for its prawn paste that it is the best we have tasted. It did not smell “chao cho” nor too salty. How did they manage to cover up the smelly prawn paste, was there additional ingredients put inside the paste? Guess, it must be the owners’ secret recipe… hehe

The tnee cheoh was quite thick and creamy. Tam Ciak said the sauce was a little too sweet for him but Fei Fei liked it well. We added some chili too to make it spicy.



A small plate of chu cheong fun costs RM1.70 while the big one costs RM2.50.

The noodles are hand made which the dough will be rolled repeatedly using the pan mee maker and flour is sprinkled onto the dough occasionally to maintain its softness. Once the required thickness is obtained, the dough is peeled into small pieces before cooked on boiling water.

The soup based pan mee is clear but has quite strong flavor, likely to have a lot of MSG added to the soup. The pan mee is also quite smooth and soft but if you happen to get the edge portions, it can be quite thick and lumpy as what Huat Koay got. In fact, he regretted ordering the large size pan me.. Haha.



You get some anchovies, shredded mushrooms, minced meat and leaves but there is not many ingredients after all… the main portion of noodles will be quite generous but not other ingredients

The stall is open daily from 7am till 2pm. Each large bowl cost RM3.00 while the regular one is RM2.50. Additional RM0.50 if you request to have egg added.
