Ask anyone from Teluk Intan and they will point you to the house at Jalan Hill where the popular dish is made and sold as takeaways.

On weekends, it is common to see people queuing at the front of the house, which opens for business from 6:30pm to 7am from Tuesdays to Fridays and from 6:30pm on Saturdays to 8:30am on Sundays.

Favorite Dish: The dish comes in two types - turnip and dried shrimp - and its eaten with sliced pickled green chillies to enhance its flavour.

TI "Chee Cheung Fun" (CCF), a must try local snacks! There are many brands (e.g. Sam Siu Yeh) but Liew Kei is my favourite. There are more fillings in their CCF (all names are in Cantonese pronunciation). Moreover this Liew Kei was recommended by the local press for at least twice within three years.

Fillings are fried dried shrimps and "char siew" (BBQ pork). Wrapped and steam in flour skin (like dumpling). Normally what we eating will be just empty steamed flour skin with some sweet sauce. But this TI CCF does not comes with any sauce, but green chilli (dipped in vinegar).

One packet which consisting two pcs of CCF costs RM 2.50 (August 2005). Price will increase every year. They will charge higher during Chinese New Year.

This "Liew Kei" is actually a factory, manufacturing only such CCF. They distribute it to local "kopitiam". But most locals like to purchase CCF directly from factory (take away only).

Operating Hours: (1) Tue-Fri, 6 pm till mid night (1 am??). (2) Sat, 6 pm till 6 am (next day).

Kentucky Fried Chicken is, as usual, the peoples' favourite fast food chain store. Chicken is the most welcome meat for all religions of Malaysia, is neutral, not against any religious rules, therefore Malaysian loves it. Nowadays KFC chain store can been seen almost at any small towns.

Kopitiam (coffee shop) is like McDonald's, is everywhere in Malaysia. This is Malaysian-Chinese restaurant where commonly known as Kopitiam, meaning shop that sells coffee. Usually if I caould find a better restaurant, I go for Kopitiam, not my first choice but still a choice.

Mobile Street vendor is a mini van selling bread, the bread is o be eaten together with shredded pork meat, clearly not halal food. I saw many peoples buying the bread, so probably the taste is top class and you might want to try.

Apung Balik/Apong balik (Malaysian pancake) 4 pieces for one Ringgit only. Ah-Pong or Apung Balik is the name of this 'cake', is a piece of ultra thin disc shape pancake fold from two sides to form a longish shape, super lightweight, very tasty.

Noodles soup cost me some 3 Ringgit together with another bowl of add-on dish, more than enough for a dinner, tasty and fast. This is inside the food court, you have many more food stalls to choose from.

Street vendor is just outside of food court, he is selling some snacks, confectionery, etc. Nowadays I seldom see peoples on wheel like this in big city Kuala Lumpur, I find it interesting to share with VTers.
