Nothing is more typically Malaysian than the “economy rice” store. These places sell “chap fun” (a Cantonese word for “mixed rice”), vegetable & meat dishes which you eat with your rice.

Chap fun stalls are usually found in restaurant corner, often run by an uncle or aunty who calculates the price of your meal in mysterious ways. All you hope for is a fair deal.

These days, chap fun shops are very modern & sophisticated, serving up to 20+ dishes!
