KL Chee Cheong Fun Stall 吉隆坡豬腸粉, Jurong West St 91

One and only KL style Chee Cheong Fun stall 吉隆坡豬腸粉 in Singapore..

This KL style Chee Cheong Fun (steamed flat rice noodle roll) was highly recommended by my two Malaysian friends who live at the Block opposite the Coffee Shop at Jurong West St 91. The stall owners are China Nationality (Singapore PR) instead of Malaysians. They started this business about 7-8 years ago.


Customers can add side items such as fried ngoh hiang, tau kwa (beancurd), fishcake, etc.. They also sell steamed yam cake, chwee kueh, etc.


The Stall is located at the corner of this NTI Food Court (Coffee Shop).


The stall owners do not make the Chee Cheong Fun themselves but rather get them from a manufacturer. The texture is slightly different from the usual ones we had at other Kopitiams. It is still in a big flat piece although it has been rolled up and the texture is very soft but not mushy.


The best of all is their sweet sauce, soy sauce and sambal chilli paste which were self-made by them. These are the most important ingredients which I found theirs are so Superb!


This stall usually has a very long queue especially during weekends and public holidays but their speed is fast too. So it is still OK to queue up unless you are really in a hurry.

Overall verdict: 9/10 (Chee Cheong Fun and its sauces only)

Azur, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport T3

Wide selections of breakfast buffet items at Crowne Plaza Hotel..

Went for the breakfast buffet at Azur Restaurant, Crowne Plaza Hotel this morning. The ambience was good and staff were friendly too.

One thing I like most about this buffet spread was the wide selections of breads and pastries. Remember I am a bread-lover? Haha!

See the picture below. I was so tempted by its Bread Counter. They offered spreads such as French butter, miniature Bonne Maman strawberry, apricot and orange preserves, peanut butter and kaya.



Here come our dishes which were shared between my friend and I.

1. Asian – 6/10
The Asian food in this spread was quite disappointing. The Char Siew Bao filling was not appetizing as we cannot taste the pork. Was it because the pork was too minced and too much starch was added? The Char Siew Sor crust could have tasted better if it was still flaky but still, the filling was not what I like. The scallop dumpling starch skin was too thick and we cannot taste the scallop in the filling too. The Soon Kueh was ok – skin not too thick but the filling was a little bland. The Fried Mee Hoon and Nasi lemak rice were ordinary. The sambal shrimp was spicy enough but I cannot taste the crunchiness of the dried shrimp. The sambal egg was a little too sweet and not spicy.


2. Salads – 7/10
Vegetables were fresh. Black Pepper Beef ham was good and not much traced of fats. The Smoked Salmon was fresh too.


3. English Breakfast – 7/10
The streaky bacon was too sinful for two of us. We would prefer the back bacon instead. The “sunny side up” was nicely presented. Grilled Tomato with herbs was good too.


4. Breads, Pastries & Spreads – 8/10
A young female chef saw me grabbing a big cranberry loaf, suggested me slicing the corner of the loaf and toasting it before spreading with some cheese or butter. She said she and other chefs have tried this many times and love it very much. This was what I thought too. Indeed, the cranberry was so good especially when spread it with French butter and preserves. It goes well with peanut butter and kaya too.


5. Cereal pieces with milk – 7/10
A mixture of Cornflakes, Honey Star & Koko Krunch and added with Pura brand Fresh Milk.


6. Otak in Banana leaf – 4/10
Too much starch - cannot taste the fresh fish.


7. Waffle with maple syrup, whipped cream & diced mixed fruit – 5/10
The waffle was tough and too floury.


8. Skim Milk & Soya Milk – 6/10
Healthy drink.



Overall Verdict: 6.5/10

Well, I don’t mind going back for the buffet again if it has 1 for 1 promotion.

Imperial Treasure Cantonese Cuisine Dim Sum 御宝轩世界城点心, Great World City

Very very good Dim Sum!

It was a last minute decision to go for Dim Sum at Imperial Treasure Cantonese Cuisine on a Sunday morning. I made the reservation for two persons at 11.30am as this is their usual opening hours. When we walked pass the restaurant around 11am, we realized that it is already opened. Hence, we walked in to try our luck since we were 30mins earlier.

All rooms and tables were actually fully booked. Luckily, the captain reviewed their reservation list again and finally gave us an available room instead of the usual dining area.

This room was in fact meant for 6 persons.

Sesame Coated Walnut – We were firstly served with this nibble that whetted my appetite. Sweet and crunchy. Yummy..

Our orders.

1. Chee Cheong Fun with Fresh Prawn 鲜虾猪肠粉– 8/10
The roll was soft but not mushy. The prawn is big, fresh and crunchy. Marvellous… However, the sauce was a bit more salty than others. Overall, it was still very good.

2. Har Gow 虾饺 – 7/10
Steamed shrimp dumpling – The filling consisted of prawn in cubes and water chestnut chunk. Not too bad.

3. Siew Mai 烧卖 – 8/10

It may look ordinary but… cut it up and see yourself…

A big prawn was stuffed in it. The proportion of prawn was more than the minced pork. Prawn-lovers, you will love it, just like me…

4. Chicken/Phoenix Claws风爪 – 8/10

Very tender and soft but not flavourful enough. The seasoning was ok but could be due to that marinating time may be too short. That’s why the seasoning flavour was not absorbed by the claws. But it was still very nice. Mmmmm.. It would be even best if more pepper is added to the seasonings.

5. Char Siew Pau 叉烧包 – 9/10
One of my favourites. It was so soft, light and fluffy. The Pau skin was kind of chiffon cake texture. I like the top of the pau being torn off, revealing the char siew filling inside.

The filling oozed out when I tore it open. The char siew was in cubes, not minced and this is exactly what I like. Pork fats can be easily found and removed. Not sure if I am lucky or the chef did not include much fats as the char siew filling.

6. Mini Egg Tarts 迷你蛋挞 – 7/10
It was nicely baked. The egg custard filling was very smooth but a little too sweet. The crust was so flaky, fluffy and buttery. Go for it!

7. Almond Milk with egg white蛋白杏仁奶 – 7/10
It’s awesome! Healthy too! So smooth and not too sweet.

8. Po Lo Bun菠萝包 – 7/10

The filling was generous. The Po lo skin was not too oily nor too sweet. Overall, the taste is just nice.

The big sliced char siew pork was revealed.

The Dim Sum at Imperial Treasure were really very good and tasty.

After trying many Dim Sums from different places such as Hai Tien Lo at Pan Pacific, Wah Lok at Carlton, Peach Garden at OCBC Centre, Tung Lok at Arena Country Club, Shang Palace at Shangri La, Golden Peony at Conrad, Crystal Jade at various outlets, Red Star at Havelock, etc.., I still find that most of the Dim Sums at Imperial Treasure are up to my expectations.

I strongly recommend this place to everyone.
