Every time I heard about Genting Coffee Shop, the very first thing that comes into my mind will be the famous Chee Cheong Fun. Many food bloggers have posted about this hawker food. I just cannot stop myself from introducing once again to you.
Genting Chee Cheong Fun is the BEST Chee Cheong Fun I have ever had in Penang. Of course, this is based on my own preference. To me, it is the best. But to others, it may be not. It depends on people. Most of the time, if I happen to pass by that area during afternoon, I will make sure to get the Chee Cheong Fun back to home.
The stall is running by an old man and his son (I assume). But recently, if you go there and make the order, you can see that it is actually running by the Indonesian maid. The original boss has hired the maid to help them out on the serving and preparing. They are as expert as the owner now. Their Hokkien is good too!
What is so good about this Genting Chee Cheong Fun? It’s the sauce they are using. The prawn paste (Hae Ko in Hokkien)* is thick. According to Steven, they put peanut butter in it to make it thick. What?! Peanut Butter?? Are you sure?? I have no idea. Don’t ask me. If you want to know how true it is, please ask him. Steven’s phone number is 019-xxxxxxx. But frankly speaking, I never taste any peanut butter in the shrimp paste. I have some doubt as well on the statement he made. LOL.
Besides the prawn paste, the chili that they are using is special. It has the dried shrimps inside. The dried shrimps made the chili taste much better since they have the coveted umami flavor (or so-called “fifth taste”). I always asked for more chili.
The Chee Cheong Fun is served in either small or big portion. Small one will cost you RM1.70 and Big one will be at RM2.50.
Sunny Yaw from Big Boys Oven went to Genting Coffee Shop when he was in Penang the other day but he missed this Chee Cheong Fun. Too bad! He had the Chee Cheong Fun in another coffee shop instead. I left a comment and asked him to try out this one when he is here again in December.
* From Wiki, Hae Ko means prawn paste in the Hokkien dialect. It is also called petis udang in Malay. This version of shrimp/prawn paste is used in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. This thick black paste has a molasses like consistency instead of the hard brick like appearance of belacan. It also tastes sweeter because of the added sugar. It is used to flavour common local street foods like popiah spring rolls, laksa curry, chee cheong fan rice rolls and rojak salad.

sgfoodlover，
This is the best one you can find in Penang. Trust me! 🙂
Mei Wah,
I think you tried this before when you were in Penang few months back. Wah, you ate Chee Cheong Fun with so many add on?
allie,
Don’t tahan. Go buy tomorrow!
Penang Tua Pui,
I knew, you blog before mar. Hahaha.
Kikey,
Only in Penang.
Criz,
For myself? Or you want to come to my house to get it? 😀
Please trust me… I really taste Peanut Butter mix with the paste 1. Gosh, someone please support me. My taste bud is not that bad one.
i’ve not tried this. i’ve been only eating a mobile stall next to Bangkok Lane kopitiam since young…hehehe Maybe used to it liao. Next time i go try this Genting one. I miss Penang CCFun.. long time never eat liao..
lol…. this is my gal favourites CCF. Each time we pass by green lane, she will definitely take away that.
Steven Goh – I agree with you I think they mix with peanut butter. Not only me, but most of my hubby families members think so too.
It’s actually Caramel, not peanut butter. Reason you don’t taste it coz it doesn’t have the ‘peanutty’ taste and its main job is enhancing the sweetness and the thickness of the sauce. Notice how it is thicker and less ‘runny’ than the rest of the chee cheong fun sauces from other stalls?
This is my all-time fav too. Definitely BEST on Food Paradise Island. 😀
eh.. tis shop… i always go there eat when i’m in penang… yaya the chee cheong fun nice ah.. very thick the sauce.. so yummy… kekeee
The Chee Cheong Fun in Genting is special for its PEANUT and Har Kou mixed souce, tasty! But the chee cheong fun itslef is not firm and fragrant as the one in Macalister Lane, Siew Fong Lai. Too bad Siew Fong Lai’s sauce is not so nice. If the two is combined, ooh! Chee Cheong Fun from Heaven!
Oh yeah, this is really famous…when I was first in penang, my colleague already brought us here….but seriously, don’t know whether it’s a coincidence or not, whenever I want to bring my family there, they’re always not open yet…hmmmmm
The man was still managing the stall during my last visit but now I see he has an Indonesian maid as a helper. Need to revisit this ccf stall again.
Steven,
You sound so pity. OK, trust you for one time. 🙂
Constance,
Wait until next time you come back, not sure the stall still there or not. Hahaha.
550ml,
Agree with you. Too bad the stall is not open during breakfast time.
FoOd PaRaDiSe,
I think it is many Penangites’ favourite too. Steven, finally someone trust you already! Happy?
Eleen Por,
Wow, you are like an expert! Thanks for the explanation. 🙂
marogal,
You also like it huh….. I like it very much!
Jason,
I always have Siew Fong Lai’s Chee Cheong Fun when I was small since I lived near there. But, it’s not really that nice. To me, it’s only so so. Again, different people have different preference. 🙂 I have one suggestion for you. You go and buy one packet from Siew Fong Lai and one from Genting Coffee Shop. Then, you combine two!!!
Christy,
Aiya, why so bad luck. Try next time. For sure there will be one time you can get it with your family members.
CK,
Sometimes the man is there. But most of the time, only the Indonesian maid.
well, to me, the Cintra Street’s CCF is still the best for my liking, no matter its just with soya sauce or curry…yum yum.
No doubt, this genting CCF is special on the Har Gou & peanut sauce mix only.
CK, sure you cant see the onwer anymore lah…they rich already ma..haha
yum!The chee cheong fun looks so delicious.I can eat it with soya sauce only.:)
Aiyoh! I felt so bad since the day you told me that I missed the best food in Penang and it is so infront of us and yet notknowing . . . sob! sob! we should banished our tour guide (die die die lor! he is my god brother! lol) I think he may not know about it. Anyway will defintely make a do at this stall in decenmber. we all foodie should meet up in december !
yes the sauce is incomparable to others!! yummy… 🙂
Gill,
I never tried Cintra Street Chee Cheong Fun. Since you recommend, I need to go trying out one day.
sweetiepie,
Oh, you cannot eat with the prawn paste?
Big Boys Oven,
Haha, banished him then! Muahahaha. Sure we need to meet when you are here in December. Let me know when you will be here and we can arrange for it.
buzzingbee,
Agree with you! Give me 5!!
this is one of the best CCF, but then I like the one in Cintra Street. it used to be selling at the road side, i think now has shifted in the shop already.
Although I worked in Bayan Lepas for 1.5 years ago.. I still haven’t try the CCF here.. I damn fail
New Kid,
I think the one you mentioned is same with Gill’s recommendation. I need to try out that one in future.
vkeong,
Oh My!!! You have missed the good food. Next time when you come back to Penang, you must go and try it!
