Best chee cheong fun in Singapore

---

We’re calling it: chee cheong fun is the new pao fan. Pao fan was a breakout trend in the hawker scene last year, with hawker stalls selling the rice-and-broth dish popping up everywhere. Come 2021, and it is chee cheong fun in the spotlight, with ex-restaurant chefs and celebrities opening hawker stalls to sell new interpretations of this humble rice roll snack.

From HK-style rice rolls to the rare Malaysian curry chee cheong fun, here are some places where you can get your hands on some of the best chee cheong fun in Singapore.

1. Cheong Fan Paradise 

---

Helmed by the former head dim sum chef from Shangri-La is Cheong Fan Paradise, an Ang Mo Kio-based stall selling different cheong fun flavours, including a much raved-about Cai Pu Cheong Fun ($3). This hybrid between chwee kueh and cheong fun is served with chilli oil, dark sauce, and most importantly, a massive scoopful of preserved vegetables.

For something more traditional, try the Sesame Sauce Cheong Fan ($2.40), where plain rice rolls are dressed up with a seafood sauce, and a peanut sesame sauce. Finally, their Vegetarian Cheong Fan ($3.50) is one for mushroom lovers, as rice rolls are dressed with a whole troop of shimeji stalks, cooked in a soy-based sauce.

2. Xiang Gang Kou Wei 

---

Xiang Gang Kou Wei is run by a chef that hails from Hong Kong, with a variety of silky, thin, and freshly made chee cheong fan for you to order. A popular option is the Fresh Prawn Chee Cheong Fan ($2.50), where each rice roll is packed with fresh rounds of prawns, and doused in a soya and sesame oil sauce. 

The stall also sells Hong Kong-style congee for a more rounded breakfast, with the Mixed Signboard Porridge ($4) being a highlight for fans of innards. This bowlful is loaded with intestines, liver, sliced fish, century egg, lean pork slices, and peanuts.

3. Ipoh Curry Chee Cheong Fun 

---

While we are more familiar with chee cheong fun that is done HK-style, with a soya sauce and sesame oil dressing, or Singapore-style, with sweet dark sauce and sesame oil, Malaysian-style cheong fan is rarely seen around the city. Enter Ipoh Curry Chee Cheong Fun in Marsiling, with curry-doused bowls reminiscent of those you can get in Ipoh. Priced from $4.50, the spicy, aromatic chee cheong fun is topped with char siew and greens, as well as tau pok, to make it a full meal.

Queues are long, and the stall is a bit far off, but if you’re craving this rare hawker dish, it is well worth the wait.

Opening hours: Daily 8am to 8.30pm

4. Happy Congee 

---

Mala makes its way into dim sum at Happy Congee, where they sell freshly rolled Mala Chicken Shredded Rice Noodle Roll ($5). These are drenched in a mouth-watering mala sauce, with the chicken cooked in the same dressing too. 

If you’re an indecisive eater who can’t pick just one sauce for your order, go for Happy Congee’s Triple Sauce Rice Noodle Roll ($3.50), which is served with peanut, sweet, and light soya sauces drizzled atop the rice rolls.

Opening hours: Daily 8:30am to 2:30pm, 5:30pm to 8:30pm

5. Pin Wei 

---

Pin Wei at Pek Kio Market was making HK-style chee cheong fun in a hawker centre before it was cool. This family-run operation began as a pushcart chwee kueh stall in the ‘50s, but the family then chose to evolve the roving business with rice rolls a generation later. 

Pin Wei draws long queues daily for its made-to-order rice rolls, featuring translucent skin that sops up just enough of the soya sauce, while retaining some chew. Flavours include the classic Prawn ($4.50), and Char Siew ($3.50), but we highly recommend the Scallop ($5.50), which comes with sweet coins of scallop meat throughout the roll.

Opening hours: Thurs-Tues 6:30am to 2pm

Chef Leung’s Authentic Hand-milled Rice Rolls in Chinatown draws queues from 7am, as fans line up to get their hands on freshly made cheong fan rolls by this ex-Raffles Hotel chef. All the rolls are hand-milled in the stall itself, so each roll is extra-fresh and silky smooth.

Choose from flavours such as Original ($2.80), Char Siew ($4), Pork ($3.50), and the very unique Tuna ($4.50) option, where you can include chopped onion pieces into the tuna mix, if you wish.

The rolls sell out by mid-morning, so head down early to get a box!

On the menu are also 15 different chee cheong fun flavours you can try to your heart’s content. These include Taiwan Sausage ($4), Century Egg ($3.50), and Spicy Mala ($3), sharing menu space with your usual suspects such as Original ($2.80), and Prawn ($4.50).

YinJi is home to award-winning rice rolls, with over 60 years of heritage. Located at Far East Square, YinJi draws queues from white-collar workers looking for a snack break.

Their rolls come in a variety of flavours, from the classic Char Siew Roll ($6), to the unique Pork & Liver Roll ($7). One thing to note, though, is that their prices are significantly higher than similar stalls, for same sized portions.
