Cheong Fan Paradise Sg

Today is Monday 21.jun.21 Day 7 of 14 (2). Another halfway mark reached. Yesterday was our grocery day. Below is the tale of my friend.

 My friend in Sg spent a total of 3 hours and  40 minutes to buy HK ccf.  From the time he joined the long queue to the time he placed his order: 2 hours 30 minutes. Then it was another 1 hour 10 mins to wait for the prawn and char siew cheong fun. He ordered 8 portions and gave 5 portions to his friend.

Why the long queue? This is because this dim sum stall Cheong Fan Paradise in Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2 is by Kerene Cheng who used to be the Dim Sum Head Chef At Shangri-La Hotel, Sg. The specialty here is HK ccf. Her food can be ordered via grab too.


My friend's 3 portions: chai poh, prawns and char siew hk Chee Cheong Fun.
This is the stall.

This is the super long queue.

*** Durian on a Sunday ***

After seeing durian, durian, durian on insta, I WhatsApp the insta seller and she immediately arranged to send the durian to me on the very same day. I received the 4 tubs of 400 g each durian at 1.34 pm in the drizzle yesterday after making online payment at 11 am. Delivery fee is MYR 15 nett.

I bought one box each at 400 g MYR 55 nett per box except Hor Lor. Didn't buy Hor Lor because I ate it many times before and also the price is higher at MYR 65 nett per 400 g. The price fluctuates so if interested, need to contact this insta seller durianvibe to get the updated latest price.

Xiao Hong - nutty coconut taste. Texture on the watery side.

Green skin - bitter with many different layers of taste. At one spot, we taste a fruity Blackcurrant taste. Higher recommended for durian lovers who like to explore the different taste in durian. Texture is on the side of watery. One seed remaining in the freezer.

Kun Poh - similar taste to Xiao Hong but richer in taste. The texture is sticky.

Lin Feng Jiao - bitter taste and texture is between sticky and watery. We ate all of them.

4 tubs of durian, all with different taste.

Put them in the freezer. One seed green skin and 4 seeds Xiao Hong.

3 seeds Kun poh in the freezer. We counted the seeds we ate. 20 seeds in total ate by two of us from 1.34 pm to 4.10pm. I didn't eat anything else after 4.10 pm.

*** Sunday Food ***

12.40 pm - both of us shared this chapfan MYR 6.5 nett from Tuck Tuck Tei. A bit of rice, egg tofu, soy knot, yin choy and mixed vege of napa cabbage and carrots.

1.30 pm - shabu beef slices cooked from frozen with daikon. I ate one slice of beef and all the daikon. Kept the remaining slices of beef in the fridge.

For father's day, the elderlies were given a cheat day so we bought Bak Kut Teh from sun Fung Bkt eatery in Sri Petaling for them. The boss of the bkt shop delivered the bkt with foc delivery fees at about 12.50 noon. no photos of bkt. They ate all their portion of bkt for lunch during lunch time. So it must be yummy!

Ya, my friend is so semangat so that's why have to write it here. I read that the chai poh ccf is really delicious! In the future, dunno got chance go sg to try or not.

  2. I have been thinking of HK ccf for some time now but am too lazy to drive a few km just to buy the ccf. Not keen too because the nearby area has covid clusters, so I better stay away. Better to wait till FMCO is over. So far, I haven't seen durian in my area yet. I heard that durian price this year has gone up. Will keep a lookout for signs of durian if I happened to go out to buy essentials. Have a great week.

    1. Thank you Nancy. May you have a great week too! Very wise, if got covid clusters better not go there. I heard durian kampung prices have gone down but I don't know because I buy from these insta sellers who of course have a higher margin to maintain. Can't wait to see whether you spot any durian when you go out for your essentials.

  3. wah....so many durians!!! do u stand outside the house to eat (to avoid the smell from getting into the house)? We used to wrap the packaging box in layers to prevent the smell from getting all over in the fridge...
    BKT for father's day....yummzzz!

    1. I sit in the living room and eat. Ok the smell didn't linger in the room. I put in the freezer so the smell didn't travel up into the fridge. The father sure was happy with his cheat day BKT 😂 did you all celebrate father's day with your father?

  7. The CCF must be worth queuing for.

    Wow your durians look good. I haven't tried these varieties from Penang before... looked many times but didn't buy. I just finished my latest batch (MSK and XO purchased frozen) but I'm quite ready to start a new season!

    1. The varieties from Penang give very different degrees of taste. Good for those who want to explore the different taste. The CCF in sg is worth queuing if really want to taste it.

  8. Why is the durians called Lin Feng Jiao lolol? Is xiao hong referring to hong Xia (red prawns) durians?

    1. If you go to durian vibe insta they got write why it is called that name in their previous post. I think Xiao hong could be related to hong Xia.

  9. I love to eat ccf a lot and I would usually eat them plain but I don't mind the one with chai poh as I like to eat chai poh.
