FOOD
Precisely! Ipoh is distinguished with a wide variety of dainty and mouthwatering food and drinks such as Ipoh Hor Fun, white coffee, curry mee, etc...
I'm a regular 'patronizer' of Ipoh and this blog entry will basically introducing part of the delicacies in Ipoh :)
Market
Mum and Peng Yi made their ways to the market almost everyday and I'm tagging along to 'K-po'.
One of the frequently patronized market is situated near my grandma's house which I have no idea what's the name of it.
The market is deemed as one of the oldest bustling market at that district and a throng of aunties will be present before dawn.
A peek on the outer view of the market.
These vegetables are planted by the owners themselves, free from pesticides and other harmful chemicals.
Fishy~
A common sight whereby the owners will sit on the little stools and sell their groceries on the ground.
Indonesian sweet potatoes
A stall selling beancurd and noodle
A peculiar sight which a butcher selling pork on a vehicle at the roadside.
This butcher is a very comical and humourous one who keeps flaunting his English.
"我的猪肉係低过 market price, 我收你 16 dollars 啦。"
Roadside foodstalls
A stall selling fried food such as fried bananas, sweet potatoes, yam, jackfruit, rice cake...
Do not determine the palatability of the food by the appearance of the stall. Even though it does looks ramshackle and decrepit, the food is first-rated!
I'm having fried rice cake which the rice cake is stuffed in between the yam and sweet potato.
The secret recipe lies in the crust which is super crispy!
Piping hot rice cake teeming out
Fried sweet potato.
These fried food was 'heat-y' enough, and cooling drinks were needed to quench my thirst and dissipate the 'heat'.
Drinks stall with sugar cane juice, coconut juice, lime juice...
Coconuts
A big fat coconut flesh which the stall owner never scrimp on.
Basar Malam- Night Out
Big crispy pancake which they called it as "大块面", relish with sweet corns, crushed peanuts or kaya.
Sak Ke ma
Basar malam version of takoyaki
Sweet corn brushed with butter and sprinkled with salt. Yums!
Singapore version is sold in a cup whereas the type that Basar Malam sell is a whole corn, which taste distinctly different.
Roasted peanuts
Apom- originated from India which has a redolence of coconut milk and cripsy for the texture.
One of my all-time favourite Basar Malam food.
Herbal drinks sold in a truck
Bubble tea which tasted similar to Taiwan's version that added powder instead of syrup (singapore's version).
O... Bubble tea in M'sia are much more authentic cos they did shake your drink to mix the flavour and the sugar syrup.
Singapore's bubble tea is far-fetched from being authenticity (except for Koi BBT). :(
Dining-in
A nostalgic coffee stall- 津津茶餐厅 or Jun Jun.
It served the best fried kway teow, prawn noodles and Ipoh Hor Fun here.
Ipoh Hor Fun- The soup has a tinge of sweetness from the broil of the bones and meat.
Hor Fun is smooth and you just has to slurp to swallow.
Fried Kway Teow- Not too dry or wet and you can taste/smell the fragrance of the kway teow emitted from continuous stir-frying in the wok.
Peng Yi with her pot of Yee mee
Drinks at Jun Jun sucks and we purchased our drinks outside for a better choice.
Super thick Kopi Peng, Singapore's kopi is unrivalled to Ipoh's Kopi.
Kopi Peng with grass jelly. Have not seen it in Singapore and perhaps I should consider to open a stall and sell it in S'pore :P
Dim Sum at famous Foh San
Going on a grandeur style after its relocation.
Waitress moving around with push cart and asking every table what they would like to order.
Do not underestimate this little push cart, food can be even prepared on it. Cool right?
Char siew bao or pork bun
