They began hawking chwee kueh (steamed rice flour cakes) decades ago but in 2010, they switched to chee cheong fun (steamed rice rolls) although they have never made nor sold it before. Now, 2nd gen hawker Eddie decided to offer this instead as “too many are selling chwee kueh, margins low and hard work la”. He experimented and come up with this slurpy soft Hong Kong style version and simply filled it with chopped cha siu, prawns, scallops or a plain Jane platter, done with their own sweet, savoury soy sauce concoction. To support each other there, they buy the cha siu from the neighbouring roast meat stall, who makes a version that suits their style. Every piece is steamed fresh upon you order and it’s a pleasure to watch them “perform” before your eyes. The steaming table has to be balance and rebalanced regularly, so the rice rolls come out evenly. The daily queue for it is a constant affair but they move fast and you get your chee cheong fun fresh and hot.
