Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun in Restoran Goodwill. ' Like father, like son.'

Ever since I moved to KL some years back, I have been on the look-out for interesting places to eat in the Klang Valley. Yes, there are lots of places where you can get good food especially good hawker food. However, I sometimes miss having the good old Ipoh hawker food. Recently, I came upon real Ipoh food especially this one from Puchong.
Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun (Kai See Hor Fun) may be sold everywhere in the Klang Valley but this particular stall in Puchong is THE original chicken hor fun.  This stall is operated by Chee Heng, the son of the guy operating the stall in Restoran Thean Chun, Leech Street, Ipoh which is beside Kong Heng.  I have known Chee Heng's dad ever since he was a very young boy helping in the Chicken Hor Fun stall ar the once famous Ice Kachang stall of Cown Street, Ipoh. He later moved the business to Leech Street where he has been operating there with a younger son.
I took a drive to Puchong in search of the stall which is located in Restoran Goodwill along Jalan Kenari. Parking is relatively easy especially in the early morning before the crowd arrives. Chee Heng serves the chicken hor fun exactly the same as his dad's version with the prawn oil.

Well, as I said 'Like Father, Like Son' serving delicious Chicken Hor Fun.  My verdict - The son's chicken hor fun is equally as good as his dad's version.  So now I won't need to head to Ipoh to have this.

Canning Garden Chee Cheong Fun in PJ

There are many Ipohites who have moved over to KL or PJ over a period of time. I too have moved to KL a few years ago after having retired. Many of us Ipohites are familiar and were regular customers of the famous Chee Cheong Fun stall sold at night next to the Canning Garden football field (Jaycee Park). There would be lots of cars parked beside the field and people tucking in to their favourite chee cheong fun. My brother in law from KL would visit this stall and gobble down a few plates of it whenever he was back in Ipoh. That stall has since been closed while the other stalls, operated by the younger brothers, opened up at a couple of places in Ipoh.  This particular stall that I am writing about is managed by the youngest brother and his wife in SS2 P. Jaya.
They operate their stall out of their van at the SS.2 wet market in the morning and also at the SS.2 food court at night. When I went to their stall, we had a long chat about their original stall in Canning Garden.  Most of their chee cheong fun is pre-packed but you can also eat at the stall al-fresco.

I bought the pre-packed chee cheong
fun with mushroom gravy to eat at home.

I really enjoyed the chee cheong fun for lunch and it had that original taste of the famous Canning Garden Chee Cheong Fun.  Now. Ipohites don't have to head back to Ipoh to have this as they can get it here in PJ or right at your doorstep for some.
