Wait, what’s up with J2Kfm and his obsession with Banana Leaf Rice meals all of a sudden?!!!! Influences from his peers? Or the awakening of the Indian blood in him? (Sounds kind of wrong though, whoops. Twilight 3 in the making?).First there was Sri Asoka Corner @ Ipoh Stadium and Samy’s @ Chemor. Then came ...
Yei Lock Hainan Pau @ Jalan Kampar, Ipoh – A great spot for breakfast-brunch. I must admit that I am not an ardent fan of ‘pau‘. Those fluffy buns of Chinese origin, usually filled with either a sweet or a savoury filling, then steamed until warm before eaten. Though I like the feeling of biting ...
(NON-Halal) Kindly allow me to intercept the usual drool-worthy food posts on Motormouth From Ipoh (don’t snigger back there!!) and bring you a community service message. Ahem, fine. This may not be as selfless nor angelic, but if you manage to squeeze in a little time on any of the remaining evenings of this week, ...
Flaky, crumbly pastry encasing the wobbly, velvety smooth and rich egg custard within – Best Egg Tart in Ipoh? Fridays are supposed to be fun. So here’s a short post on something light, and delectably irresistible. To me at least. Choy Kee Confectioneries has always been my favourite brand of egg tarts in Ipoh. (Read ...
In the spirit of continuing the Thai-related posts (somewhat to lighten the mood, in view of the current dire state of Bangkok’s, presumably?), allow me to venture where no man has gone to before.Okay, I’m somewhat slightly off today, after making serial rounds descending Cameron Highlands. But do read what I have to say before ...
Good thing about having dim sum at night is that; you don’t have to wave until your arm falls out, before the staff carrying the trays walk over to you!Fancy having Hong Kong dim sum for DINNER in Ipoh? Yup, you can do that at Yoke Fook Moon Restaurant, situated on the undisputed Dim Sum ...
After a few months of some serious honeymoon-ing, finally Motormouth got back to action. It’s been quite some time since ze butt got off from ze daily routine of sticking to ze office chair. (But of course, there are exceptions). If it’s your first time here, probably you’re not used to the onslaught of food ...
Continuation from previous chapter of Motormouth in Malacca Again (Part One) …. That Portuguese seafood feast was somewhat disastrous, but given the dire state of my gut at that very …
Kuala Kangsar - The Royal Town of Perak, Malaysia. Not a destination listed in a common tourist's itinerary. Easily accessible from the highway, though not necessarily translates to higher traffic. A simple town in general, it was only my third visit to the comparatively serene town.Yut Loy Coffee Shop (read about them from rasarasa.net) has been in existence for more than 50 …
Since the previous post was on Nga Choy Kai/Ayam Tauge/Chicken Bean Sprouts (click HERE for some Buntong Cheap Eats), might as well dig deeper into the backlogs, and allow yours truly to write on another similar Ipoh's specialty ..... This shop has TWO entrances on both ends; The front and back portion of the shop can seat the customers. Loads of them during dinner hours. Be …
A Meticulously-Sloppy Massacre - Can’t blame Chef Tim for the vengeful act of dissection. After all, one of the owners (Ernest) is supposed to be a very, very discerning diner (read : picky eater) and Tim has to replicate that particular taste Ernest desires …. And we got Hoofed. There were five of us, on ...
Still in the spirits of Deepavali (What? Cannot syok sendiri ah?), I’ll continue writing on Indian eateries in Ipoh. Kalai Curry House did not manage to sustain their top notch quality from back then, lacking in the public relations department (customer service, naturally) and a generally lackadaisical attitude towards pleasing the customers. Especially those not ...
I anticipated with glee, on the potentially mind-blowing Pan Mee varieties from this supposedly “Pan Mee Specialist” named Peking Pan Mee Noodles Shop in Medan Ipoh Bistari; a relatively new eatery (about 3 months’ old) on the same row as Akamomiji Japanese Restaurant, and directly opposite of Kafe Tim coffee shop. The Pumpkin-flavoured Pan Mee ...
Panfried Cod Fillet Mango (RM24/USD7.30) – A slab of thick, succulent and sweet cod fillet served atop the bed of irresistibly yummy mashed potatoes, garden vegetables and a refreshingly fruity coulis of mango. The premise previously occupied by Rendezvous Cafe at the corner of Brewster Road (Jalan Sultan Idris Shah) and Cockman Street (Jalan Dato ...
DIN TAI FUNG RESTAURANT @ THE GARDENSSkilfully folded, artfully crafted into an exquisite morsel of soupy delight – 18 delicate folds on the skin that can sustain the tension of a pair of chopsticks, before being rested on the porcelain spoon.Din Tai Fung, Dragon-i and Canton-i are three household names when it comes to Chinese ...
If you somehow have not heard of Slim River before, I don’t blame you. Instead of imagining a most constricted, eroded and (I’ll be damned) polluted river running across the wilderness, Slim River is in fact, a small town to the south of Perak. Constantly on the rise, Slim River seems to be developing rapidly ...
Kizuna One (or Kizuna1 ... or 1Kizuna, depends on how patriotic you are. Okay, bad joke, I know) recently opened its doors to the Japanese food lovers in Ipoh, right smack in the posh-est location of all, at the newly refurbished and reopened Royal Golf Club on Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.Of course, me being a mere peasant, with no skills whatsoever in handling (more like, …
There's a spanking NEW outlet in town, so rejoice fellow Ipohans (or Ipohites, whichever suits your fancy) !!! Recently opened for business, the proprietress was formerly with Kafe Happy Valley in Old Town of Ipoh. This outlet opened without much fanfare, so save for the residents of Ipoh Garden East, or those passing by on the way to Tambun, many would not have known of its …
One of East Ocean‘s (Tung Hoi in Cantonese) most sought after dish; the Claypot Ginger Chicken (Qiong Yung Gai) warrants an order no matter you’re bringing along your Grandma, your friends or even your children. Half a chicken at RM15/USD4.80. East Ocean Seafood Restaurants are everywhere in Ipoh, so to speak. There’s one in Chemor ...
The signature fried salted pork belly from Fu Man; if you don’t mind the fatty cuts, then this platter of absolutely scrumptious and crispy pork belly should be up your alley. Aside from the famous Tanjung Malim pau from Yik Mun (which was nothing to shout about anyway), I have never ventured out of my ...
