Curry laksa @ Ipoh

I can't remember the name of the place we had this - but the laksa at Ipoh is generally like this - very unlike the type we in the Klang Valley are used to, with creamy coconut milk in the soup. The curry laksa at Ipoh is more on the sour side. The plus points is that it normally comes with lots of meat - roast pork, char siew, chicken and prawns.

Just a word of caution - make sure when you order, you emphasise on the "curry". In Ipoh, "Laksa" usually means "Assam laksa".

Hakka mee @ Cathay, Ipoh

The Hakka mee at Ipoh is pretty different from the ones we have here at the Klang Valley. It's almost a must-eat for us whenever we go to Ipoh!

My wife's - she like the fried stuff to go with the Hakka mee

Mine. We usually ask for extra mince pork on the top. It's light in colour but pretty yummy!

Pizza and Pasta @ Michaelangelo's, Ipoh

It's Chinese New Year! An excuse to commit gluttony???

Well, gluttony is never good! Still, when we go back to Ipoh, there is always an abundance of food to eat!

Yeah,  even when most of the Chinese restaurants are closed!

We opted for Italian one nite:-

Creamy carbonara!

Oreo cheese ball!

Pizzas are made here with wood fire! Sori, din get a pic of the pizza nor of the wood fire oven

Gelato @ il Gelato di Bruno

We stopped by this place at the City-Link mall (next to Hershey's) for some gelato. It was pretty good! We took 2 scoops on the waffle thingy. =P

Macaroons @ Canele (Raffles City, Singapore)

Had these lovely macaroons which were bought at Raffles City! A bit too sweet but nice! =)

Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee @ Fountain Food Terrace, Suntec City Mall

This was eaten at the Suntec City Mall in Singapore. We actually stumbled upon it - was looking for something simple and cheap(er) to eat before we head back to M'sia and i decided to eat something distinctly Singaporean (or so they claimed).

It was actually surprisingly pretty good!

Burgers @ The Handburger, Singapore

 

 

Fruit rojak @ The Stadium in Ipoh

This is the chinese style rojak with fruits. The one served here does not come with prawn crackers but instead it comes with yau char kwai.

Nice! The sauce was god and the peanut sprinkles added to the taste.

Ice Kacang @ The Stadium, Ipoh

This was nice on a hot day. I like the peanuts they add on it too!

Bean sprout chicken @ Lou Wong, Ipoh

Ipoh is famous for its nga choy kai - beansprout chicken. Nope, not chicken flavoured beansprout - but chicken served with bean sprout!

Perhaps the most commercialised place is Lou Wong (No. 49, Jalan Yau Tet Shin, Ipoh) - but i used to frequent that place when i had to travel to Ipoh for my court cases. But i was told it was mainly for out-of-towners.

In recent times, i was told that locals still frequent that place - tGiF's parents think it is quite good! So i went there and gave it another go.

The beansprout - can't get them wrong when at Ipoh!!!

The chicken was tasty - but super oily!!!! You can see the oil on the sides of the plate!

The rice was wonderful!!!! =P

And i always need my pork fix - and the pork balls did the trick!

No regrets going there again!
