Chee Cheong Fun @ Bee Connection - Not Just Honey!

I was shopping for my computer stuff in Plaza Low Yat a while back and decided to have lunch there with Lyn and Sis Mah who has come along with me to get something for her son too. Circling the Lower Ground Floor where most of the eateries were located, I was surprised to see this stall selling my all time favourite food, Chee Cheong Fun (CCF)! Why was I surprised in the first place? Well, it was Bee Connection (a place that sells honey!) that was selling this CCF.

Apparently, Bee Connection was about the only outlet on the Lower Ground that was not selling any food and was encouraged to do so by the management. They then decided on selling CCF as it was simple and only needed minimal space for the setup of the stall. We were then recommended to try the curry, original and sambal belacan version of their CCF.

We loved the original version that came with a bit of soy sauce and pickled green chillies. The CCF texture was nice and smooth too. The two sauces were for the crispies that we ordered.

The curry variety was normal but the gravy from the curry chicken drumstick that we had also ordered tasted good and we were told to add that for more oomph.

Aaahhh... The sambal belacan variety. Simple and the nicest of the three (original in 2nd spot!). The spicy topping went very well with the smooth CCF.

Do order their deep fried tofu (beancurd). This was tasty; not oily,crispy on the outside and a lovely chili sauce to go with. It has a funny texture like a cross between fishcake and bread. Try it and you'll know what I mean.

The rest of the crispies like fried wanton and beancurd skin were just okay. They were a bit on the oily side though.

Oh, since it's primarily a honey shop, they have all sort of honey drinks (apart from selling the honey itself) and I choose the kei chi (wolfberries) honey hot drink. Well, it's suppose to be good for the eyes and I thought my eyes could do with a bit of a boost ;o). There are lots of kei chi in the drink, at the bottom and some floating on the surface. I enjoyed biting into the kei chi and having the honey oozed out from it as the kei chi seeds are soaked in thick honey for quite some time! Just take a spoonful of it and mix it with hot water (not boiling hot though, as the honey will lose its nutrients) and you'll get this delicious drink.

Well, I don't go down to Plaza Low Yat that often but when I do, it's gonna be CCF at Bee Connection for me; simple and nice! It's the same for Lyn and Sis Mah too ;o). They have outlets in Berjaya Times Square, Lot 03-43, 3rd Floor (Tel : 03-2143 1636) and also at Lot K4, Pasar Rakyat, No. 8, Jalan Melati off Jalan Imbi (Tel :03-2141 5570) but I forgot to ask if they sold CCF in these two other outlets too.
