King of Cheong Fun is one of those F&B establishments which we had only come across whilst scrolling around social media during our free time — the namesake of the establishment is not particularly exciting, especially considering how it comes after the a slew of un-relate brand names whom have decided to name themselves “King of ..” after the success of King of Fried Rice, which had expanded across the entire island with multiple outlets all around. Located in a coffeeshop at Blk 87 Bedok North Street 4, King of Cheong Fun is located not too far away from the notable 85 Fengshan Market that is best known for their soup variant of the minced meat noodles. Occupying the corner stall near the beverages stall in the coffeeshop that it is situated at, King of Cheong Fun can be easily missed considering how the shopfront is blocked by items on one side and a rojak stall that a space at the front of the coffeeshop on the other — that being said, its bright red signboard is quite impossible to miss if one manages to spot it. Yet another one of those locations which serves up the trendy Hong Kong-style Chee Cheong Fun, Hong Kong-style Chee Cheong Fun is pretty much their core offering. One thing worth noting though is how they do serve up a wider variety of Hong Kong-style Chee Cheong Fun than most other establishments does — quite similar in the way of Yin Ji where they do offer less common variants like the Signature Pork Egg Cheong Fun and a rather generously-portioned Signature Family Combo Cheong Fun. Just like how Chef Wei HK Cheong Fun is these days, King of Cheong Fun also does serve up a variety of dim sum dishes such as Siew Mai, Har Gow, Steamed Pork Rib with Black Bean Sauce etc. for those whom are looking to have some form dim sum variety to add on to their Hong Kong-style Chee Cheong Fun orders. Interestingly, King of Cheong Fun also does serve up Steamed Bee Hoon with meat and vegetables as well.
Our recent trips to other establishments serving up Hong Kong-style Chee Cheong Fun of the late hadn’t been particularly impressive — with that being said, King of Cheong Fun actually serves up one of the most memorable versions of the dish that we have had in recent times. Skimming through the menu to decide on which of the Hong Kong-style Chee Cheong Fun offerings to go for, we found ourselves settling for the Prawn Cheong Fun — their other items such as the Signature Pork Egg Cheong Fun and the Signature Family Combo Cheong Fun were interesting, but they seemed a tad filling for us considering we have had a few items along the way to King of Cheong Fun. Sticking to an item which we are all very familiar with and one which we often use as a gauge against the other establishments we had tried, the Prawn Cheung Fun does come close to the one that we absolutely loved from Chef Leung’s Authentic Hand-milled Rice Noodle Rolls 梁师傅肠粉 at Chinatown Complex Food Centre. Digging into the Prawn Cheong Fun, it was the texture of the Cheong Fun that really got to us here — these were done thin enough — so much that it actually absorbs all of the colour of the light soy sauce that puddles at the bottom. The Cheong Fun comes all smooth, silken and yet has a prominent flavour from the rice slurry; one can also notice the slight chewiness in terms of the rice noodle here — very well-made. While the soy sauce didn’t carry a particularly strong note of savouriness, as though it was sufficient considering how the Chee Cheong Fun had already absorbed the flavours of the soy sauce very well; could easily be fixed by their “Super Spicy Sambal” on the side at the self-service counter that was not only sufficiently savoury, but also provided a kick of spiciness that tantalises the taste buds even for those whom are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness. The prawns were well-sized; fresh and carried a natural sweetness with a good bite. All-in-all, a must-visit spot for those who love Hong Kong-style Chee Cheong Fun; and especially so for those whom resides in the East!
