Steamed rice noodle rolls cut into pieces and dressed with sweet sauce, chilli and sesame, or in Kuala Lumpur with curry gravy and yong tau foo. A breakfast staple of Pudu and the ICC Pudu hawker hall.
Chee cheong fun, pig intestine noodle in Cantonese for its folded shape, came to the Malay Peninsula with Cantonese settlers, many of whom worked the Kuala Lumpur tin mines and later ran the city's hawker trade. The batter of rice flour and water is steamed in thin sheets and rolled. Where Hong Kong serves it with soy sauce and shrimp, Malaysian stalls pour a sweet brown sauce, chilli sauce and sesame over plain rolls, and in the Klang Valley the curry version is common, with gravy and pieces of fried yong tau foo. The stalls of the old Imbi Market, now inside ICC Pudu, keep the morning trade going.
