๐ก Pro tip: Every town has its own sauce combo; order the house mix.
Macalister Lane, George Town, Penang
Order: Penang-style CCF with hae ko prawn paste, sweet sauce and chilli
The Macalister Lane stall has been at it since 1955, still mixing its own batter and sauces in-house. Black, sticky hae ko over plain rolls โ Penang-style at its most classic.
Taman Ipoh Selatan, Ipoh, Perak
Order: Ipoh-style CCF with mushroom gravy, chilli and sweet red sauce on a metal plate
Ipoh's most famous chee cheong fun name, passed down through the family for decades. Moved from Canning Garden to Ipoh Garden South in 2023 but still serves big portions on its signature metal plates, with queues from 7:30am.
Island Glades, George Town, Penang
Order: CCF with hae ko, peanut-rich sweet sauce, chilli paste and sesame
Island Glades' breakfast magnet, often packed by 9am, with a chee cheong fun many bloggers rate Penang's best. The sauce leans heavily on peanut alongside the prawn paste โ exactly how locals like it.
Petaling Street (Chinatown), Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: Silky rolls with reddish chilli-bean and sesame sauce
Reportedly rolling since 1943 and selling nothing but chee cheong fun (and herbal drinks). Ultra-smooth sheets drowned in a reddish bean-chilli-sesame sauce โ the bowl many KL food nerds call the city's best.
Teluk Intan Town, Teluk Intan, Perak
Order: Teluk Intan chee cheong fun with turnip and dried shrimp, pickled green chilli
Teluk Intan's most famous food: thick rolls stuffed with turnip and dried shrimp, eaten with no sauce, just pickled chillies. Moved to a new shophouse in 2022 but the queue followed.
Order: Ipoh-style CCF with mushroom-minced pork sauce and pickled green chilli
The front stall at this Old Town kopitiam is a long-time contender for Ipoh's best chee cheong fun. Savoury mushroom-pork sauce plus pickled green chilli โ the true Ipoh way.

Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: KL-style CCF with sweet brown sauce and yong tau foo

Order: Chee cheong fun with sweet sauce and chilli

Taman Paramount, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Order: Penang-style CCF with hae ko
A humble stall that keeps homesick Penangites in PJ happy with a faithful prawn-paste rendition. O & S itself is a legendary hawker hall โ come hungry.

Order: Anson-style cheong fun, Kampar curry cheong fun
JB's cheong fun specialist. It pours silky rolls in several regional styles, Anson, Kampar curry and sweet sauce, so you can work your way across Perak without leaving Skudai.
