Penang Lok-lok is similar to this but the food is in the form of skewers and you dip it in boiling water instead. The food must then be dipped into the sauces available to bring out the aroma and flavor. One can rack up a huge bill if not careful. Certain items like prawns can be expensive. So check the price thru the color code.

As the name indicated, Chee Cheong Fun is a Cantonese dish originated from southern China and Hong Kong. The common Chee Cheong Fun served at dim sum restaurants are usually made from sheets of rice noodles and filled with shrimp, roasted pork (Char siew), chicken, fish or vegetables. A thin gravy of sweet soy sauce and a bit chili paste will go with it before serving
Over the years as the dish became popular, most char kway teow served have undergone various alterations resulting in the various forms of the dish which are slightly different and in which the nuances would be discernible by Asian food connoisseurs and char kway teow enthusiasts only. Depending on one's exposure and experience in relation to char kway teow, the Penang-style char kway teow is generally the most popular variety. Until recently, pedlars in Malaysia and Singapore would affix the word "Penang" or "槟城" to "char kway teow" at their stalls or stations in food courts in order to pass off as an authentic "Penang Char Kway Teow" or "槟城炒粿條" to lure more customers.
This is Penang Laksa also known as asam laksa from the Malay for tamarind, comes from the Malaysian island of Penang. It is made with mackerel (ikan kembung) soup and its main distinguishing feature is the asam or tamarind which gives the soup a sour taste. The fish is poached and then flaked. Other ingredients that give Penang laksa its distinctive flavour include lemongrass, galangal (lengkuas) and chilli. Typical garnishes include mint, pineapple slices, thinly sliced onion, hε-ko, a thick sweet prawn paste and use of torch ginger flower. This, and not 'curry mee' is the usual 'laksa' one gets in Penang.
