2 Days 1 Night trip from KL->Ipoh->KL. Fook Seng in Slim River, it is about a little over an hour drive from KL on the way to Ipoh.

They don’t have live bull frog on that day, so we settle for steamed river prawn and claypot garoupa fish(sek3 ban1) below. Above one prawn is about RM24 (RM60-80/kg)

Claypot fish, around RM17. Food taste quite nice, but the price is not any cheaper than KL.

FairPark Hotel, a cheap budget stay, 2 single bed for only RM99 nett(breakfast included), free Astro and WIFI in room.

Fair Park Hotel lobby, clean and simple

Our room, gotta ask for a better room next time, this room opens up to a wall and dozens of air-con, so we can’t open the window for fresh air :\

clean toilet

First stop: Sin Yoon Loong & Sun Yuan Foong coffee shop, similar name shop just next to each other. I am not a coffee lover, but have sips of both ice coffee just for tasting anyway. Sin Yoon Loong(to the left) is slightly too sweet and less bitter coffee taste, whereas Sun Yuan Foong(to the right) has just the right sweetness and more bitter coffee taste. From blogsphere, seems like Sin Yoon Loong(to the left) is the more famous one

Kedai Makanan Rasa Lain, famous for their claypot tanghoon(glass noodle), big fish ball etc

RM1 each fish ball, bouncy and fresh

Claypot Crab, RM55(RM65/kg), enough for 2 person, very nice, yummm~

The crab is really fresh and meaty, drench in soup peppered with szechuan peppercorn

Fresh fruit shaved ice in Dessert street(tong2 shui2 gai1), Ipoh is my favourite, can’t find such in KL, stall 27 this time unlike previous time is stall 22. They have few stalls selling the same mix fruits ice, all pretty identical.

only RM4.50, yummy with mango, jackfruit, dragonfruit, pear, lychee, raisin, grapes, biji selasih etc

Delicious

Fair Park Hotel serving simple breakfast of nasi lemak and fried kuey tiaw, their nasi lemak is quite nice

Foh San

so grand

Dim Sum, just standard, still missing the yummy Tuck Kee dim sum in Kepong

fluffy Char Siew Pau

Pau menu

2 famous chicken hor fun stall side by side: Thean Chun(to the left, open for business about 9 am) and Kong Heng which open for business earlier, around 8:30am

Chicken hor fun stall in Kong Heng

~RM4, hor fun(rice noodle) is very smooth and almost like chee cheong fun(as the noodle is quite broad), but i find the soup is not served hot enough.

Popiah stall in Kong Heng

Old Grandma making the popiah

very nice, i asked for little spicy, and it pack a definite hint of chili, very nice, ~RM2

Thean Chun hor fun, touted the best hor fun in the area, gotta try it and see

Chicken hor fun ~RM4, very nice, piping hot, definitely one of the must eat in Ipoh :P. The noodle is from Jelapang, taste quite similar to those of Old Town coffee chain, but this is very good

Ching Han Guan Biscuit, their signature pastries include meat floss lotus biscuit, walnut candy etc. Be sure to book one day ahead so that you can collect the next day morning around 9am when they open. Else, you have to wait till 1pm for their fresh batch of pastry to come out of the oven.

Making their lotus paste meat floss pastry

Meat Floss Lotus Paste Biscuit(RM15.60) and meat floss lotus paste biscuit with salted egg cost RM21

Don’t find it as nice as before, wish they put in more lotus paste instead of me tasting more of the pastry skin with little lotus paste

Lai Kee soy bean it is since funny mountain soya bean shop is closed on Tuesdays. Can’t beat funny mountain ones.

Movenpeak Steamboat in Ipoh Parade

Set for single person

Seafood Set, RM19.80, too big for a person portion, can be shared, comes with crab, balitong, mussels, squid, crabstick etc

Overall, i never like steamboat where each person having own soup pot, i find the soup of such places are usually just full of seasoning/MSG…

Rohani Ikan Bakar Stall in Kuala Perlis.

Grilled fish, moist, juicy and flavorful, they seem to brush spice infused coconut on the fish while grilling it, probably spiced with kunyit(turmeric) resulting in yellowish tint

crunchy and dlish fried calamari, but a bit too oily.

Left: clam

Right: Tom Yam with 2 flower crabs inside

All above (fill up 2 person nicely) cost only RM64, i like the grilled fish, the others are too oily

View from hotel we stayed, Putra Brasmana hotel in Kuala Perlis, RM135/night. Rohani Ikan Bakar stall is just across the street, located in one of the red roofed stall by the sea.

Another view out from hotel Putra Brasmana, looking out towards Langkawi Island

Yat Lai is the famous coffee shop selling bun to the Malay royalties in this royal town of Malaysia-Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Was there for work.

Yut Loy’s menu

Left: Omelet on toast, RM4

Right: Chicken bun, RM1.60, light and fluffy skin, the dough doesn’t stick to the teeth, they also sell beef curry bun, but it was fully booked for the day. Apparently the bun are faved by the royal families of Kuala Kangsar, and royalties from other state also buy buns from here as this restaurant is halal.
