๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ช๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด was started by Chong Yok Wah way back in 1958 as a drinks stall in PJ Old Town. It was popular among PJ denizens for its ๐ข๐ช๐ด ๐ฌ๐ข๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐จ and ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ญ. The older Chong passed his business down to his daughter, Chong Swee Eng and her husband, Wong, who ran the business till they retired in 2015. It was another two years before their two daughters, Teng and Mun, decided to revive the old brand name โ thus, ๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ช๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด re-emerged in 2017 at Section 17, PJ.
The new shop was an overnight success, as its news of a โheritage food spotโ being revived went viral on social media, prompting a flood of new customers, besides nostalgic old regulars looking for a taste of the past.The new ๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ช๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด was also popular for their baked buns, with ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฏ, ๐๐ถ๐ญ๐ข ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข-๐ค๐ฐ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ต or ๐ด๐ข๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ข๐ญ ๐ช๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ด fillings.
Last July 2022, ๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ช๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด opened its new flagship outlet at the swanky Pavilion Bukit Jalil mall.
We went to try their ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ญ, which was very nice: chockful of cendol noodles and stewed red beans.
Unfortunately, the other savoury items offered there: ๐ฏ๐ข๐ด๐ช ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ, ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐ช ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข, and ๐ฌ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ฉ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ช ๐ต๐ช๐ฆ, are tasted pre-cooked elsewhere and then re-heated upon order here.
Iโd rather just stick with the traditional shaved iced desserts in future if I do come back.
