Weekend Food Binge in Ipoh

I've done it again.

Another weekend of food binge, this time courtesy of Cheng and Jo.

We started the day at Keng Nam, town centre for Curry Mee and Glutinous Sticky Rice with Kaya.

Next stop, Sun Up in Canning Garden, for the beef balls and fried soya skin (Fu Pei).

Lunch was at Pasir Putih (or was it Pasir Pinji), for the variety of fried wantons, eggplants, fu pei, turnip... Do visit Yum Yum Tree Kopitiam. The fried wanton is so good, it hardly has time to cool off before being grabbed by the hungry patrons.

Tea time, at the Old Town of Ipoh. A visit to Ipoh is incomplete without a good cup of Ipoh White Coffee, and the toast bread with kaya and margerine.




Oh, and we visited Buntong, where the supply of kacang putih came from. I'm talking about kacang putih by the kilos.... yum yum...

Dinner, involved a 45minutes trip to Tualang, where we had excellent seafood at unbeatable prices.

The Wat Tan Hor.... very well done.

Home made fried tofu.

Fried squids.

Steamed prawns in egg white and chinese wine. This is a recommended dish.

Butter fried prawns.

Chinese fried prawns. I believe they used Oyster sauce. It's quite sweet. Another recommended dish.

Herbal steamed village chicken.

Kum Heong crabs.


The succulent portion of the head, most unhealthy part, but the tastiest.

2003. A good year from Shadow's Run.

The live prawns at the front of the restaurant.

Altogether, RM247.90, for 7 adults. We had 3 kilos of prawns, costing RM55/kilo. I believe it's definitely value for money.


Next day's breakfast was at the Foh San, an old establishment famous for it's annual moon cake.

This is located not far from Foh San. It's run by two generations of family members, with most of the wares available only by phone order. They sells the Yuen Long Wife Biscuit (HK Style), Ham Tan Sou (Salted egg wrapped in lotus), and a myriad of other sweet biscuits.


Mid day meal, at the Ipoh Garden Stadium Food court. Look for the HK Chee Cheong Fun, ice kacang, fruit rojak...
