Traditional Singkawang cuisine, shaped like dumplings the filing varies from : chives (kucai) and yam (bengkoang, talas). They can produce approximately 1k dumplings each day. Very tasty and price worthy. Definitely should come here if you visit Singkawang. Old and young age like this dishes. the place next to Perkumpulan Marga Tjia heritage house. During days, the temperature quite hot so be prepare to sweat during eating. The inside of chives dumpling has tofu too which is smart variation to me

Located in Traditional Area which is one of tourist attraction in Singakawang City. They served vegetables dumplings which well known as Choi Pan, which also means "Vegetables Cake" with some variant such as stir fried jicama with small dried prawn, stir fried chives with white tofu and stir fried bamboo shoot as the fillings of the dumplings. Eat them with special spicy homemade chilli sauce! Once the dumpling enters your mouth, it feels like it melts inside the mouth. So tasty yet affordable!
