Chee Cheong Fun Van @ Taman Desa

I first came across this chee cheong fun van when my colleague had told me to try it out. She even asked me to help buy her back some for lunch. She told me to be quick because she said that the uncle tends to run out of yong tau foo ingredients really quick during lunch hour. This van is run by an uncle and has a lady helper. When I went there to get lunch, there was already a queue lining up to get hold of an empty plate. I wasn’t a fluent Chinese speaker, still not, and had struggled a bit when the uncle asked me if I wanted the flattened chee cheong fun or the normal thick rolled up ones, and how many pieces did I want. He was kind enough to speak to me in broken English after realising my struggle. I went for the flattened one. He chopped the chee cheong fun into small pieces quickly and passed the plate to his lady helper who asked me if I’d like some sauce or curry or chili. I had a mixture of the sweet sauce and curry. Then she asked if I would like some sesame seeds to go on it, and I said yes with a huge smile because it only reflected the smile she gave her customers. The lady helper was a friendly one. There were tables and chairs on the street side with chopsticks available for use, and so I sat down and took my first bite of the meal, and boy, I’ve got to say, the curry was good! The curry was creamy and full of flavour. The sesame seeds made the whole dish even better. I really love his chee cheong fan. They were silky and easy to eat. Besides being an exceptional good meal, the price is very reasonable and cheaper than most stalls outside. Since that day on wards, I’ve been going back to this uncle as long as I was in Taman Desa and was craving for some chee cheong fun, which happen to be quite often.
