#3 KL- Style Chee Cheong Fun @ Yap Hup Kee

In its original form, Chee Cheong Fun was served with soy sauce. Over time, the sauce became more varied in different parts of the peninsula. A sweet bean paste sauce predominates in Kuala Lumpur. Other variations include a soupy curry sauce. Eventually, other ingredients like fish cakes and fish balls were added most likely due to the influence of the Hakka communities around Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh.

The food at this Pudu favorite may be old-school gold but the ambiance is a splash of new and cozy within, where the area is air-conditioned. It’s best to visit in smaller groups as seats are scarce, especially during the dinnertime rush. Known for both their Yong Tau Foo & Chee Cheong Fun, Allow yourself some extravagance when picking out Yong Tau Foo (RM1.30 per piece) — in this case, it’s the more the merrier — and don’t miss out on the delightfully greasy brinjal. Complement the whole experience with their Chee Cheong Fun (RM3) which is available either with soya sauce and dried shrimp or doused in runny curry sauce. The former hits the mark on flavor, especially if you prefer your breakfast on the lighter side.
