All About Foods in Ipoh

Ipoh is the capital city of Perak located north of Kuala Lumpur (apprximately 2 hours drive). It's the city of Perak state. 

Ipoh has a vibrant food scene with a vast proliferation of hawker centers and restaurants. It is well known for dishes such as "Sar Hor Fun" (Chinese: 沙河粉). Other dishes from Ipoh include "Hor Hee", flat white rice noodles served with fish cakes and/or fish balls, "Nga Choi Kai" (Chinese: 芽菜鸡), a chicken fillet with soy sauce and beansprouts with pepper spread on top (drooling, my favourite) ,yellow rice noodles served with mince meat (pork) sauce and "Heong Peng" (Chinese: 香饼) (my favourite too), a type of biscuit. Besides, Ipoh is famous for its "Ipoh white coffee".

So, our first stop when we were in Ipoh:

a) Onn Kee Nga Choi Kai Restaurant.

This is the "kai" (chickens). Yummy and juicy. The gravy tasted good as well. 

This is the "nga choi" (bean sprouts). Their size are so big and short as compared to KL one. They are also so crunchy when I bite it. *Crack* that's the sound.

Second stop after dinner:

b) Tong sui kai (Dessert street).

It's a street (long one) with many food and dessert stalls you can hunt for.

We ordered "sai milo" (shaved ice tasted with fruits and sago). So cooling. I love the honey dew one. So honey dew taste. Don't know how to describe. Go try it out yourself.

Second day:

c) Foh Sang Restaurant

It is a dim sum eating restaurant. Tips: Better go there early as the later will be hassle with people. Really so pack and you need to wait for the seats.

Few of my love.

My another love. LOL.

I still feel sleepy. I'm not a morning person. FML.

Tada~ Our table. Dim sumsssssssss....

Happy us. =)

d) Nam Heong Coffee.

After breakfast, we headed to Nam Heong Restaurant for their famous Ipoh Old Town Coffee. I'm not a coffee type person except for Starbucks & Coffee Beans. 

Ipoh Old Town White Coffee. Tasted so aromatic and smooth. SLurrppp....down the throat. 

Featured in the newspapers

Last stop:

e) Dai Shu Geok (Big Tree Foot)

Here, there are famous with Yong Tau Foo.

So many Q up for their orders.

Waiting patiently. FML.

There you are. Famous for Lo Shu Fen as well. 

More foods for you!

Deliciously succulent and bouncy deep fried fish paste stuffed in various manners.

Another "Yim kok kai" (Salty chicken) we bought from town earlier. 

You must be wonder why we keep on eating non-stop and we still not full. There were some events in the between the food hunting. We are not PIG, okay? So, stay tuned. Next post: Gua Tempurung Expedition.
