Ipoh Restaurants

Eating chicken here is too easy and too simple, if you don't mind using your fingers, you can just grab the chicken and put inside your mouth, that's all you need to do. But one thing you have to learn is, to eat together with taugeh and horfun, so that you are eating the best of Ipoh, the famous Taugeh Chicken.

Taugeh (Bean sprouts in plate), yes the picture here is taugeh or bean sprouts. Here is Ipoh, they eat these bean sprouts in a plate like this, and you just use your chopsticks or fork to pick a bunch to put into your mouth, doing this together with eating the chicken and horfun soup. The cost of this meal together with chicken and horfun soup normall come to around 7 or 8 ringgits each.

Eating Taugeh Chicken on street is common, in fact, most peoples prefer to eat on the street probably too hot to sit inside. Eating Taugeh Chicken is at night most, peoples just enjoy sitting this way, probably taste better with such atmosphere.

Chwee Cheong Fun is perhaps originated from southern China, Hong Kong or Guangzhou province. Ipoh peoples are actually descendants of them but was hundred years thing. So they can make same foods, but is from Ipohans, not from the Chinese.

This is my happy moment at eating Taugeh Chicken of Ipoh. Because I drove 5 hours from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, Ipoh is a perfectly middle stop for dinner, so I just eat, and I don't go back so often, less than 10 times a year, that help makes the food even more delicious.

Ipoh white coffee is available at most of the shops here. I was told the coffee was local made, I bought some the last few trips back home, but I did not try, because I seldom drink coffee, I prefer Chinese tea.

Mar-Tye-Sore is a must when you are in Ipoh, the biscuit is available in most of the local confectionery shops and grocery shops. One pack of Mar-Tye-Sore cost about RM6.00, they come with simple packaging, some without bran names, some with traditional pink color paper written Chinese wordings on it, yeah that's the biscuit called Mar-Tye-Sore, very tatsy, you should buy at least a pack when visit Ipoh. Also, the biscuit is best to eat with hot Chinese tea, mmmmm...

This chinese restaurant in Menglembu, Ipoh is always packed during weekends. Food quality is still maintain after my numerous visits. Dishes are served in generous portion and taste are just right for the health-conscious, which is neither too salty or oily. The captain will seek customer's feedback on dishes and use a microphone to communicate to the chefs in kitchen. Haha, customer service improvement is in place !

There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant.

Favorite Dish: Some of their signature dishes are seafood and vegetables in wooden bucket (Pun Choy), steamed chicken in garlic sauce (concubine chicken), fish slices with spring onion & ginger.
