Chee Cheong Fun, Street Food, Non-Halal
I had the Chee Cheong Fun with mushroom meat sauce at Restoran Shin Hing in Taman Kar King, Ipoh. My dad had the Chee Cheong Fun with teem zheong (sweet red sauce). This mushroom meat sauce was thick. It had ample mushrooms and minced meat and it was flavourful. Both plates of Chee Cheong Fun cost RM4.50 each. You can try if you pass nearby. For drinks, I ordered iced white coffee and my dad ordered hot tea.
