Ben isn't stopping in that location, though. For the Christmas season, he'southward launching a express-edition special: Smoky chee cheong fun.
At an intimate session we were part of at Sanity Java Bar, nosotros watched him put an appetising char on the chee cheong fun with a blowtorch, and so serve it garnished with crunchy y'all tiao bits.
This is, conspicuously, not your boilerplate kopitiam snack: The Smoky Chee Cheong Fun is a dish that was dreamed up in collaboration with LG Han, chef-owner of one-Michelin-starred Restaurant Labyrinth, Ben revealed.
Han, known for putting out dishes that present traditional Singapore cuisine in a fresh light and for championing local producers, has used Kwong Woh Hin sauces in his restaurant for quite some fourth dimension. So, he was happy to experiment with SGCCF.
(He wasn't able to be at the launch, though – he was busy filming for a television receiver show.)
The Smoky Chee Cheong Fun has its ain unique dressing specially calibrated by Chef Han: Premium char siew sauce with a very subtle impact of citrus, topped with bacon $.25, toasted sesame seeds and you tiao puffs, with some sambal chilli for those who similar it spicy.
If you're wondering whether smoky chee cheong fun actually works, well, it admittedly does. Retrieve of the rice rolls as having the aroma of wok hei, or the fragrance of burnt bits at the lesser of claypot rice, highlighted by the zesty sweet of the sauce.
The only take hold of, though, is that you lot'll accept to torch your rice rolls yourself. The chee cheong fun comes chilled, along with the sauces and condiments.
If y'all don't have a blowtorch, y'all can attempt smoking it with tea leaves, Ben suggests – tea-smoking is very popular these days, in any instance. You tin can also effort barbecuing your chee cheong fun over charcoal, he said.

The coffee pairing, designed to complement the flavours of the Smoky Chee Cheong Fun, serves ii to four people.
Does Ben plan to go on more flights of chee cheong fun fancy, dreaming up new flavours with every flavour?
The respond is yep, and we tin can look forward to a possible Chinese New year special next, he said.
"Hopefully nosotros tin can share the chee cheong fun overseas, when the world opens upwardly, to let people know that chee cheong fun is not just something you lot can get from kopitiams; not only sweet or salty – it can actually have many different forms."
