I eat char hor fun since the age of 5. My family use to go this restaurant yong Pin which allocated at Jalan Sungai Ujong which is at town area. There the char hor fun is delicious. You wont feel bored when eat them everyday. The dim sum serves at this restaurant is also delicious. And i ask the waitress ther, all the food is maked by themself.

Hey guys…

you should try the Char Hor Fun off chulia street. It is located opposite of LOVE LANE but DON”T mistaken it with the one at the lorong. It is directly opposite love lane and you can see it from there. they have tables and chairs in front by the road side. CHEW KEE is the name.

However, it is closed on TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY but at times, due to bad weather of no stocks, they will closed on THURSDAY. To play safe, II always call first. I heard many foreigners ( outstation, Singaporeans & Hong Kee ) like it. There are many locals go there ( some goes everynight too ) but they are smarther to call first @ 04-26232377

Don’t sit directly in front of the cooking area as you will REGRET unless you plan to go for hair wash. When he fries the hor fun, you’ll see huge flames followed by smokes…

They have Hokkein Char ( not the fat noodles ), Yee Mee, Fish Head Noodles…all yummy

Please do not hurry them as you know or you will be scolded…Well some say they are arrogant but let’s put ourselves int their shoes…If everyone does the same, where is the meaning of “queing” We are going there because everyone says it is good..So the defination of good food also comes in with some sacrifice, your time..

Emm think of that I will be going to Penang again for the Hor Fun…

My wife and I both enjoyed your post about dating back in the 1970s.

At the time, I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bentong and my future wife was a BM girl teaching in Kulim. Our courtship was mostly conducted by mail as it was a long trip for me to travel to Penang. We dated for some months before arrangements could be made for me to finally meet her family. But after after that it would have been unthinkable for us to go out to eat and not at least “tah pao” something back for her bothers and parents! Quite often it was sar hor fan. Thanks for the memories.

Aiyoh, Lilian, loo boh thang chiak sar hor fun lah! Kesian.

Actually, nowadays who is going to buy char hor fun for girlfriend’s mom anymore. Boyfriends will say … ‘your mother is on diet lah, cannot eat supper’

I always remember Seng Kee’s char hor fun. The takeaway was packed in a cone shaped container made with newspaper lined with banana leaves. It was tied with kiam chow, the same type used for tying bak chang. The char hor fun tasted so good especially the pig liver which was added. Sometimes we would bring our own tiffin carriers for the take away.But the one wrapped with the banana leaves taste the best.Last time where got use plastic bags.

Do you remember the ‘ A go go char hor fun’ fella??

Yes…. those were the days my friend ……..
