Chee Cheong Fun: Nutrition fact

The nutritional value of the ingredients in Chee Cheong Fun varies according to different filling in it (Table 1) and of course, with no sauced topped. Overall, the main source of carbohydrate came from flour, protein from powder, fat from oil, dietary fiber from spring onion and minerals from the flavorings. Based on the calculation on 100g weight basis, Chee Cheong Fun without any filling and sauce contains lower nutritional value compared to that filling with shrimp. Overall, a plain flavor Chee Cheong Fun consists of high level of carbohydrates and sodium compared to other nutrients. Thus, it can be known as an energy-provider to human. This means it can be adequately included in the breakfast menu.
