Lou Wong, Berlin's & Healy Mac's.

Posted by remmygoh | Labels: Cafe, Chinese, Fine Dining, Food Trail

Lou Wong, a name that pop's out in most Malaysians' minds when Ipoh food is asked. No one makes the best chicken with beansprouts better than Ipoh but the question is it's Lou Wong the best place to get "Nga Choi Kai"? That's subjective. Many Ipohans do not agree with Lou Wong being the best restaurant, so am I. Today, I'm not here to cover Lou Wong but just a journey of food stuffing that I have to continue. So, here are some pictures of what we ate that day.

Pork meatballs.

Ipoh's best beansprouts.

Chicken Leg. This one is something different about this chicken feet is the sauce that goes with it. We would usually see a dark soaked chicken feet but this, this is just different. Instead of being dark, it's actually light coloured. it's actually cooked with herbal some sort. The taste is just Awesome!

The next place is Berlin's Bier Houz. A place where good food and beer meets. It's not just a normal bar where beer is served with crappy food, but it's a really nice place for food too=)

Ice Blended Cappuccino.

Spicy Sliced Pork.

This is the sauce that makes it spicy. We actually ordered extra sauce for just a row of thin sliced pork.

Fried Meatballs.

The final wrap up place is Healy Mac's, another bar that has good food besides beer. I have something to confess. I'm not trying to exaggerate or trying to be a good boy online but I have never been to any bars and have beers at night before. Maybe, I have been to several bars at night to have lunch but not actually go there for beer. So, I can say that I have no interest at all looking out for bars or any pubs around Ipoh. My initial concept is, if it's a place for beers and entertainment, the food must be not their target. I mean what's the point of preparing food that only cost less than a bucket of beer which you can literally take it out of the fridge and serve it in a bucket? But this place really open up my eyes, proving that my theory all this while was wrong.

This is the spare ribs. Although this is the only dish we've ordered (because we were too damn full) but There are actually a lot more interesting food served here!

This bar is also entertained by three awesome singers singing for us throughout our last small dish.

So this covers our one meal journey in almost 7 restaurants all together. I really have to workout more and loose some of my fats before the next trail starts=)

Bercham Street Food

Posted by remmygoh | Labels: Chinese, Dessert, Ipoh, Street Food

Bercham holds a large population of Ipohans. Besides, Bercham is also the next fod heaven even to those who are not living there. People would travel out of their home area all the way to Bercham for it's popular local food.When the sun is at the top of the sky, The street of Persiaran Bercham Selatan 1 is packed with people hunting for food a long the street. Today, we didn't really hunt for the whole street as there were too much food there. So we decided to sit at one of the soy stall and ordered a few dishes from stalls along the street.

Wong Kee Bean Curd

Here are basically the types of bean curd it is selling and the pricing.

Opens from 2 PM- 10PM. It's an 8 hour operating stall, but the only thing to worry about is it may be sold off within the last few hours.

This is the most authentic soy milk.

This is the Black soy which practically looks similar to the normal one. This is just slightly darker in colour.

And of course Tau Fu Fah

The next big thing around this street is The Nyonya Kuih, which is just next to the bean curd stall. It's a very long stall stretching half of the lane and varies to a lot of types of kuih, fried stuff and bread too. It's a one stop breakfast and tea time stall.

One of the many fried stuff sold at this stall.

This is the stretch of bread and other confectionery sold here.

They also provide catering and ordering too.
Please call 016-5006842 or 012-5665842 for more details.

So these were the few things we've ordered that day. Nothing heavy as it was out tea time.

Colourful and delicious kuih.

This is one of my favorite, Onde Onde.

Fan Shu Dan (Fried Sweet Potato)

Fried Siu Mai.

Fried instant noodle and fried prawn biscuit.

Kopitiam Hoong Cheong

Posted by remmygoh | Labels: Chinese, Hawker, Ipoh

Chicken rice is often made lunch for most chinese when we talk about eating out. The usual chicken rice usually comes roasted or steamed. However this place has made a twist to it. Instead of hanging roasted chicken at the window of the stall for display, this stall offers fried chicken. The sole reason why the coffee shop is fully packed at lunch hours. The stall also offers char siew, lap qiong, lobak and a chat. The fried chicken constantly emptying the plates of the stall to the customers' and fresh fried chicken from the back of the stall is constantly refilling the front. That's part of the attractive part of the stall, fresh and hot served. The only one bad factor to this stall is, if you are not a fan of monosodium glutamate, you would feel that food served here are rich in it's taste. But come on, who would enjoy a tasteless food and it's not like you are having them everyday.
