I don't think this changfen stall was around last time I was at Toa Payoh West Market, so I gave it a try today (127 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh #02-22). It turns out that it's from a guy who learned his techniques in Guangzhou, so the sheets of rice noodles were scrunched up rather than folded, making for a nice texture to catch that salty sauce. But the white bee hoon to the left of it wasn't very savory, so I won't bother with it again.
I enjoyed the chee cheong fun. The sauce was tasty and fragrant, and the rice sheet was smooth with a custardy texture and fragrance from the egg, and a crunch and freshness from the lettuce. The chilli was umami and sandy, and was a great addition too.
Grandpa Homemade Cheung Fun opens daily from as early as 6.30am. With traditional stone-milled Cheung Fun being a rarity these days, I’ll for sure be back for more!
