Teluk Intan is famous for it’s chee cheong fun.When you visit Teluk Intan next time, I strongly recommend that you should try the famous original chee cheong fun or rice noodle roll served fresh and hot straight from the hot oven only at Liew Kee Chee Cheong Fun wooden house-turn-shop located in No. 725, Jalan Hill, Teluk Intan, Perak.
It is an authentic local food and thus a popular breakfast food for the locals in Teluk Intan.
The freshly steamed chee cheong fun is served takeaway (ta-pao) only due to lack of space in the wooden house-turned shop. The soft and slippery steamed rice noodle roll is cut into small pieces and packed with old Chinese newspaper wrapping.
The main ingredients for the chee cheong fun are rice flour, fried dried shrimps (hea bee) and turnip (sengkuang), salt and water; and is eaten with pickled green chillies. The current price is RM3.00 per packet (for two pieces of the rice noodle rolls). During Chinese New Year period, like all unscrupulous traders taking advantage of the festvie season, the owner has increased to RM4.00 per packet!
Be prepared for long queue from the doorstep up till the roadside to get your delicious and mouth-watering chee cheong fun but it's worth the long wait for the great taste! There are chairs provided for those whose legs are tired.
No jump queue please! The notice prominently displayed for all to see.

According to Mr Sow Ah Lek, his late grandfather Sow Liew who came from China more than 70 years ago started the first chee cheong fun stall in the 1930s on the riverbank in Teluk Intan. Later the family moved to the present premises in the 1970s and has since been operating for more than 30 years till today.
The famous Teluk Intan chee cheong fun is also available at many food stalls in the mornings at the hawker centre in Jalan Maharani.
