My Ipoh Food Explore race

Just recently I spent about three weeks in Ipoh, exploring Ipoh and the neighbouring towns. I

visited Kg Simee, Bercham, Tambun, Gunung Rapat, Pasir Puteh, Menglembu, Buntong, Silibin and Chemor too. I've seen three markets - brought back memories of my younger days when I had to run errands for my mother. No such markets in Seremban now. 

 

Now here's the list of food I've tried  :

 

Kg Simee market white coffee and yau char kuai -  good

Wooley, next to Gourmet Square: lamb chop -  nothing extraordinary

Gourmet Sq: Popiah - OK

Kam Hor ngah choy kai, adjacent to Gourmet Sq -  average

Tai Fong Jee Tou mee -  OK but saltish

Sri Maju ngau lam fun, New town - good

Sin Eng Heong kayakok - good

Tong Sui Kai: Cheong Kee ngau lam fun, opposite Sam Tet School - good

Tong Sui Kai; ice kacang, opposite Sam Tet School - good

Ice kacang in a number of places - lousy

Buntong wantan mee - average

Nam Chau dry curry laksa and coffee - OK

Sin Seng Fatt dry curry laksa (Famous), old town - good

Kwong Hoing yong liew, kai geok and foochook yee mai, mah tai kang in Gunung Rapat - excellent. Talked to Mr Hew, the proprietor.

Metro cafe Mee Gopeng, Old Town - good. Met Mr Lam, the proprietor

Bercham Char siew, siu yoke - excellent and cheap

........ a lot more

 Best coffee - at the coffee shop, Wah Pan in Ipoh town .

 

I can now be a tour guide for Ipoh - especially for food. 

Anyone wants to join me next time ?

Here's the beginning......

When I come across great food, say 'yummy pig trotters' (think of the healthy collagen, not the fat....hahaha), well.......um, got to stray a little bit...do what you gotta do, cannot be too inflexible right?
