We always order chee cheong fun every time we have dim-sum. I love the silky smooth rice sheets, especially if the rice sheets are filled with shrimps, although I like having char siew as the filling as well.

I came across this recipe from You-tube and it appears to be quite easy to do at home. Mmmm, the result is delicious, although I need more practice to polish up my technique! It was easy to make the chee cheung fun but folding it up may need some expertise. It was steaming hot and very soft. I supposed I require a few more sessions of wrapping them up in order to achieve the desired "professionally wrapped look". 

But looks and presentation aside, it was very tasty! The sauce was equally delicious. I am already thinking of making the next batch. My brain is now set in motion trying to come out with new ideas for the fillings instead of just using shrimps. 

I remember the last time we went to Hong Kong we ate this at an establishment known as Hoi Keng. It had shrimp and char siew fillings and the taste had been etched on our minds ever since.
