The owners hail from Anson in Ipoh, known for their style of smooth soft chee cheong fun. It's the water and quality of the ingredients that stand out. They use local ingredients but it is still something to be reckoned with. They have a huge, metres-long steamer in the middle of the kitchen, visible when you make orders at the counter. It's very soft and smooth and surrender to the softest of a bite. The signature Anson Special version is one speckled with fried shallots, spring onions, and dried shrimp inside, eaten with pickled green chilli- our favourite. They also offer a braised pig skin curry and mushroom version. But it’s your luck, if you get one made 20 minutes ago, it tastes like it's made 20 minutes ago. best when fresh. Of late, in the hands of transient workers that come an go, the consistency factor had headed south somewhat

They don’t have any fancy toppings or a variety of sauces. Just a soft, smooth, resilient chee cheong fun with an incredible old-school sauce. The non-descript stall sees a huge crowd early in the morning and they are there just for basic pleasure, good old soft, smooth chee cheong fun with some bite to it, rained on with their class-act sauce. It looks like the usual dark brown hoisin sauce but we detected notes of ha ko (sweet prawn paste), ha cheong (salted prawn sauce) with hints of nam yu (fermented red tofu), and even tones of sesame oil and gula melaka. It is so addictive and slurpy good. it's not much to look at, not "instagrammable", just absolute joy in the mouth.
