The Succulent Dishes of Ipoh ( Main Course)

From left : How Yee, Marx, Chi Leong, Ru yi Jenny, Joel, Joanna, Yvonne
Beginning our trip to Ipoh, a city which is claimed 
to have the 2nd best food in Malaysia after Penang, 
we were so excited and hungry  as we starved ourselves so that we can crave for more during our trip in Ipoh.


We reach Ipoh at 1:30pm, and the school finished
at the same time.Thus, it caused TRAFFIC JAM.
oh my god~~~
We finally reach our first destination after 30 minutes!!!
Thanks God~~
Yeah!!!We reach Yong Suan Coffee Shop!!!
The boss started his business since 1960s.
The shop really looks old and classic.....
There is also an original Chinese signboard.....

WOW!!!Can you all imagine?????
A SUPER long queue!!!!
People are going to queue up outside the shop during
lunch hours.
Let us guess...

What are they selling that attracts so many people to queue
up just for their lunch???
This is the Price list of the food sell here.




Ohhhhh??? Nasi Kandar (Nasi Ganja)

Is it unbelievable??

It's really amazing~~~~
A Chinese shop with Indians' food!!!!!
The rice is serving with a piece of fried chicken 
and curry on top of it, slices of cucumber, and half salted egg.


It is totally different compare with normal curry chicken rice.



The most satisfying part of this plate of Nasi Kandar
is its curry, thick and saporous. Of course, it is spicy, but the
curry contains many flavours, unlike the classic chicken or fish
curry found in mamak stalls. For spicy lover this is a must try food. The portion of one plate of nasi kandar is enough for a person
and is quite full, small eaters were suggested to share it with 2 person.



Another special thing in this plate of Nasi Kandar

was that they added a spice which named

"belacan kelapa sawit".



With the overwhelming taste of coconut,

the "belacan kelapa sawit"is a bit salty and spicy.
Hmmmmmmm~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yummy!!!!!!!!!



Of course,there are many other choices for you

such as mutton,beef, chicken, fish and viscera.  

It have various kinds of curry for you to choose
There are always full of people
This is the photo that we captured with the "tauke" of the shop

Without wasting our time, we drove to the 
"Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong"
No one will ever be able to miss out this shop
with its newly made signboard and its strategic location. 
The place was almost full when we reached.
Luckily we reached there earlier.

Restaurant Bean sprout Chicken Lou Wong 

Although the time is still early, but there is already bunch of people eating at there.


We ordered the famous main dishes
the chicken, a plate of bean sprout 
and also a bowl of "hor fun" for each one of us.
They do not have any special drinks but herbal tea "leong sui". 
There were more side orders available 
such as chicken feet, rice and fish balls.
The food came after few minutes and we were shocked...
The boss put the chicken and bean sprouts we ordered 
in 2 big plates!!!!! 

Everyone thought of the same thing : Are we able to finish it?




The chicken is quite tasteless without the soy sauce 
but when we tried it with the sauce, it blends in just nice. 



The next thing we munch into is the bean sprouts
It looked fat and juicy, and it tastes just like it looks like. Miraculously, it blended in well with the soy sauce too.
We kind of regretted ordering the "hor fun" as it would be more satisfying just biting into the juicy meat and the big, fat bean sprouts. Beside of hor fun, they also have another choices which white rice. Is totally suitable to be a family dinner as well.


We did our payment and surprisingly they gave us a 10% voucher offer in Lou Wong Confectionery. 
This newly opened Lou Wong Confectionery sells numerous types of biscuits from different places. 
Biscuit lovers can hop in for a look anytime.

Lastly, we had our suppers at "Tong Sui Gai".
It is just located beside a primary school.
 Many people thought that there are just some drinks that we can order at "Tong Sui Gai".
Actually it is there are varieties of food provided there. 
And because of this, it became very famous at Ipoh.
Another food court was located just nearby with some uncles and aunties singing melodious oldies. 
Thus, the environment there was quite nice too.


When we arrived, 
we just ordered a small bowl of the beef noodles, as we thought that we might be can't finish it. But, after the noodles came, 
all of us fight for that bowl of beef noodles!!

Can you imagine how tasty it was or not???
It looks so tasty with that aromatic herbal soup.

The beef was so soft when we bite on it, 
along with the tender beef brisket (cow's belly), 
Then, we voted to have another bowl. 
There are some side orders such as beef balls.
There are two types of beef balls, 
one is the normal beef ball which just made by beef,while the other is the stewed beef ball. 
Both were also tasty, but of course, the beef and the brisket ( cow's belly) was the main course.
For those who love to eat beef,this is the most suitable dishes for you.Come and try it!
