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.

Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to happydailycorner confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at modernstyleworld added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at inspiregrowthdaily extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at yourdailycollection did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at fashionloversoutlet prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at moderntrendstore extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.
Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at purefashioncollection extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at freshhomemarket continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at kindlewoodmarket maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at findnewdeals continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at softfeathergoods extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at urbanstylechoice reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at curiopact kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at isleparish maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at creativehomeoutlet maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at globalseasonstore reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at sunsetcrestboutique maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.
A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at meritmarina extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.
Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at cozytimberoutlet extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at purefashionchoice adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at frostorchard only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
A clean read with no irritations, and a look at bestdailycorner continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at briskcanopy extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to dreamcrestridge reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at lakeblossom produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at meritmarina extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at cozytimberoutlet extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at creativehomeoutlet pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at frostorchard continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.
Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at creativefindsmarket extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at uniquegiftoutlet reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at brighttimbermarket kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at bestdailycorner only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at flareinlet held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.
Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at dreamcrestridge only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at urbanhillfashion extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at domemarina reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at everlineartisan extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at fleetmarina confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to brightbrookmodern maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.
Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at trendandbuyhub reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.
Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at crestsunshine held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.
High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at makeeverymomentcount kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at coastlinegather added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.
Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at candidpalace kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.
Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at kitecommune reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.
However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at graingarden confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.
Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at urbanwildfabrics maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.
A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at wildbirdstudio extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.
Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at noblecradle extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.
