4 Days Ipoh Trip

August 18, 2015
Apparently, I'm going to write FOOD post again...It's all about food photos, not much fun place I visited, so I just summarise where I've been...

When I was in Ipoh a couple of months ago for attended friend's wedding, I only ate 2 types of Ipoh's famous foods in my spare time which were Tau Fu Fah at Funny Mountain奇峰豆腐花, Yong Tau Foo, Big Tree Foot and Dim Sum also is a MUST. I am very like to eat Dim Sum, I can't forget the taste and the egg tars were completely similar to Hong Kong one, egg tart is always my one of the favourite dim sum. The Funny Mountain Tau Fu Fah is allows customer Dri-Thru and buy it, the tau fu fan was very smooth and nice, wasn't sweet at all and the soy bean milk also is a MUST-TRY. The Big Tree Foot Yong Tau Foo, the reason of must drop here is the side dishes, there was many side dishes for customers to pick, and the Laksa noodles also is recommended. White Coffee definitely must try it, I can't stop drinking it everyday when I was in Ipoh. 

I was so so so upset that I just got half of the day to hunt Ipoh's food during the day of friend's wedding. Of course it wasn't enough for me, it wasn't satisfy my craving, and finally last week which was my midterm break, I went to Ipoh again and spent 5 days 4 nights to eat the Ipoh's food. Firstly, I went to TBS to meet my boyfie from Malacca by bus, then he brought me to Ipoh by train from KL Sentral. It was my very first time first experience take train to Ipoh, I even have no ideal go KL places  by MRT, LRT... LOL   Total spent my 4 hours plus reached Ipoh...

About 5pm we reached there, since I wasted my half of day on transportation to Ipoh, so I forced to start my food journey on the following day. I can't remember the place went for dinner, but I still wanna to say I Love Ipoh's Pohpiah, sorry about no pohpiah photo, it's really really different with Malacca's pohpiah. It contained vegetables, eggs, and xia mi (dried sea shrimp). Taste very fresh, no oily, such a healthy snacks and very cheap, only RM2 per piece. 

On the first day, I purposely woke up early for the DIM SUI as my first food hunting. There were 3 famous dim sum restaurants at Jalan Leong Sin Nam. Three of them dim sum are mostly same just the price has slightly different, somehow I went to the most cheaper one明阁香港点心 Ming Court Hong Kong Tim Sum. I was craving for the cha sao su 叉烧酥 since my boyfie brought for me last time, unfortunately they are not selling this. In general, you can easily get the dim sum in everywhere even at Kopitiam as known cha can ting茶餐室, it is pretty awesome for me because I am a dim sum lover. BTW, here is another dim sum place that I would like to share with you, as I said my boyfie brought the cha sao su in another place, which was 南香茶餐室 Kedai Makanan Nam Heong at Jalan Bandar Timar.


Then during lunch time, I went to Nam Heong food court at SOHO complex, of course it's different with Nam Heong kopitiam that I mentioned, I also wonder why Ipoh people like to give similar name shop LOL... This restaurant is more likely Old Town White Coffee, customers are allowed to use iPad to order and there is gathered all popular hawker food stalls,  and definitely they guarantee to serve tasty food to customers... I don't eat chaw keoh teoh usually, because it is too oily, however I do love Nam Heong's, even though price is lil high but it's nice and huge portion actually...



After that, we went to looking for the wall arts, yea..quite similar with Penang, I saw it from my friend's photo...There was more than 6 wall arts and separated in different streets which are Jalan Bandar Timah, Jalan Tun Sambathan, Jalan Bandar and so on.. All are around in the Ipoh town, the artist is a foreign, if you're not rushing your schedule, take your time and spot those arts and you will find a some kind of fun while spot the wall arts.

LOL this wasn't one of it, just randomly snapped photo

This was spotted at Old Town White Coffee


After looking for the wall arts, we walked to the  二奶巷 Concubine Lane. It is such an antique street and even though they were renovating the building but the original old style design are still retain.  The place that I most prefer in this street was Plan B restaurant, the environment is pretty great compared as KL, PJ branches, you will not find the same designed as Ipoh's Plan B.

Photo took at PlanB


Then, before we were going back, I can't control myself to refuse the dessert, we stopped at Nam Chau Kopitiam to eat 炖蛋 Tun Dan. Then, during the dinner time, we went to 糖水街 Tong Shui Kai, was thinking to have a dinner there but most of the stalls were closing. Therefore, we stayed awhile for the Tong Shui 杂果冰 around RM 6.50. Tong Shui Kai  is MUST-BEEN place when come to Ipoh, the people like to come here for the desserts, snacks while gathering or meeting with their friends. Specially the famous food Wan Tan Noodles and Beef Noodles are the main reason of people come here, after the dessert we went to another place which was food court to eat dinner.
