Honestly, with so many hawker food choices to choose from around Petaling Jaya or the Klang Valley, I decided to go for something simple, which I believe many Malaysians enjoy eating.
This time, I will review the Madras Lane Chee Cheong Fun at Paramount Kopitiam in PJ, an interesting history of the oldest well-known hawker food here.
Madras Lane Chee Cheong Fun at Paramount Kopitiam PJ
Apparently, this stall has been here for the last 30 to 40 years and was originally run by an old couple for the longest time since the 80s.
Then one of them passed on, and the stall was closed for a very long period. Then in 2019 or 2020, another lady took over and brought back the famous Madras Lane Chee Cheong Fun to PJ.
The prices are pretty reasonable in today’s lifestyle and still affordable for many. When I visited this place during MCO3.0, I did ask the lady which part of Penang she was from.
Her answer was classic; she said she’s not from there, and the Chee Cheong Fun is actually Kampar style. So I was obviously a little confused with this. Maybe one of these days, I will go and ask her again about the whole concept.
Anyway, I love how they have various options, ranging from the most basic soy sauce, oil, and sesame seeds to curry and sweet sauce.
Madras Lane Chee Cheong Fun Price
The price is also quite reasonable and is based on May 2021 prices.

- The signature curry pork skin chee cheong fun is RM6.30.
- Signature minced pork with mushroom chee cheong fun is RM6.80.
