Penang Best Chee Cheong Fun @ Genting Coffee Shop

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.

  1. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at futurewoodtrends confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  2. Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at softwillowdesigns kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.

  3. A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at everlineartisan continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.

  4. Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at leafdawn kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.

  5. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at domemarina prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  6. Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at makeeverymomentcount extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.

  7. Picked up on several small touches that suggest a careful editor, and a look at edendune suggested the same hand at work across the broader site, editorial consistency at a granular level is one of the strongest signs that an operation is serious rather than just hobbyist and this site reads as serious throughout.

  8. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at freshwindemporium extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.

  9. Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at sunrisetrailmarket also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.

  10. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at learnshareachieve reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.

  11. Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at freshsagecorner kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.

  12. Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at mintdawn only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  13. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at knackdome extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  14. Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at softskycorners added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

  15. Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at growwithpurpose extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.

  16. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at trendspotmarket did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

  17. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at lacecloister continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

  18. Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at forgecabin kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.

  19. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at elitedawn reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  20. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at yungbludcomic continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  21. Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at fondarbors extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.

  22. A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at epicinlets only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.

  23. Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at premiumethicalgoods did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.

  24. Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at gemcoasts also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.

  25. Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after cubeasana my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  26. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at explorewithoutlimits extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  27. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at croccocoa earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

  28. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at boneblot earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

  29. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at basteclay confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  30. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to heliohex kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  31. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at cliffbeck continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  32. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at depotglow kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  33. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at silkgrovevendorroom continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  34. Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at oasiscrate added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.

  35. Really appreciate that the writer did not assume I would read every other related post first, and a look at urbanrivo kept that self contained feel going where each piece can stand alone, accessibility for new readers is a sign of generous editorial thinking and this site has clearly invested in that approach.

  36. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at boldtrendmarket 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.

  37. Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at flarefest 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.

  38. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at elitefests only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  39. Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at fibergrid kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.

  40. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at shopzaro 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.

  41. Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at gemglobe fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.

  42. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at morxavi reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

  43. Muchos turistas buscan la mejor forma de llegar a las termas o los rios del litoral sin gastar de mas, y aqui es donde los micros nocturnos se convierten en la mejor opcion.
    La respuesta combina el ahorro de tiempo con una buena planificacion de la estadia. Existen servicios de bus premium que garantizan un descanso reparador mientras se llega al destino, asegurando que la experiencia en la provincia sea inolvidable desde el primer momento.

    Nos vemos en la ruta, ?buen viaje a todos!

  44. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at havenfoam continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  45. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at hickorygrid confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  46. Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at qelmizo extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.

  47. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at jadeflax reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.

  48. The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at eastglaze maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.

  49. Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at northvendor added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

  50. A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at luxmixo 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.
