Da Chang Jin Handmade Chee Ching Fun

The chee cheong fun had the right consistency - smooth but yet chewy. Also, the sauce was not too salty. Interestingly, some chai poh was provided (on the side) too. Overall, very good stuff. Unfortunately, too many disposables (ie. the plate, spoon and chopsticks) were used. The queue system, or rather the lack of it, was also quite chaotic.

Setup looks similar to Pek Kio CCF. Texture wise similar on the thick side which I personally do not prefer. Cai poh on CCF is new to me and it was not salty. However the sauce was salty (like the cai poh had washed in it) despite me having finished kway chap earlier. Chili packs a punch but did not feel harmonious IMO.

Located in Holland Drive, and usually only opens till a little after lunch, this place is a gem for me. The chee cheong fun (猪肠粉）is made upon order, so the skin remains soft, smooth and chewy. Unlike those made in the factory, this one is thin almost translucent that you can see through it if you order any filling. It requires almost no chewing and glides down your throat. It is definitely a dish to be eaten fresh, as I made the mistake of taking it away once and it cooled and hardened once I got home. There are plenty of options of varying cost, from char siew, prawn, to smoked salmon and mushroom. I like to order the prawn one ($4) as the prawn meat is bouncy and fresh. Drizzled in that water-like salty sweet light soy sauce, paired with the chai poh (菜圃) and sambal chili, it is a perfect bite for me. Though I do find that it can get a little salty towards the end. My only gripe is that they use a lot of disposable plates and utensils for a quick snack. Would definitely recommend to any West siders who do not want to visit the famous one in Pek Kio.
