Imagine waking up early and navigating the bustling streets of Hong Kong just to savor the unforgettable taste of chee cheong fun drenched in savory soya sauce. That’s the dedication it took to satisfy our cravings for this beloved dish. However, when we stumbled upon Chef Leung’s Authentic Hand-milled Rice Noodle Rolls, a world of culinary delight opened up right here in Singapore.
Chef Leung, originally from Hong Kong, brings with him decades of culinary expertise, including an impressive 18-year stint at Raffles Hotel, where he established a renowned Chinese restaurant. Today, his restaurant is truly a family business, with his wife and children working alongside him to create culinary magic.
Exploring the Menu
At Chef Leung’s, simplicity reigns supreme. The menu features five rice noodle roll options and two congee varieties, with occasional seasonal specials. Let’s dive into what makes these rice noodle rolls unique.
The Original Rice Noodle Roll ($2.80):
This dish allows you to truly taste the rice in the noodles, thanks to the labor-intensive process of hand-milling rice by Chef Leung and his wife. The in-house preparation extends to every component of the dish, including the perfectly balanced soya sauce base, complemented by toasted white sesame seeds and crisp shallots. Don’t miss the house-made peanut-sesame sauce, a classic Hong Kong-style cheong fun dip that coats the noodles just right.
Variety in Rice Noodle Rolls
Although the Tuna with Onion Rice Noodle Roll was unavailable during our visit, we relished the Char Siew Rice Noodle Roll ($4) and the Prawn Rice Noodle Roll ($4.50). The delicate rice noodles encase succulent prawns, a satisfying option considering the price point. Pair them with Chef Leung’s fresh daily-made chili sauce for that extra kick.
Homemade Congees:
Explore the comforting world of congees at Chef Leung’s. We savored the Seafood Congee ($5) and the Salted Pork Ribs With Century Egg Congee ($4.50) with a seasonal dried oyster twist. These congees are flavor-packed, with the preserved eggs served in hefty chunks. The addition of pork ribs elevates the flavor profile, thanks to the meaty bones.
