Ipoh Food (Penang Road Trip – July 2008)
Ipoh, apart from being famous for mass production of pretty and gorgeous Ipoh girls, the town is also famous for its food. Majority of the populations in ipoh were chinese, where most are originated from Canton or GuangZhou. There is a saying that “Eat at GuangZhou”, “吃在广州”, where the cantonese are very particular about food. Famous chinese food in Malaysia such as Ipoh Beansprout with steam chicken (“怡保芽菜鸡”), Pork Satay, Dim Sum, Ipoh Old Town white cofee and etc, originates from Ipoh.
26 Jul 2008, 09:15 a.m, reaching ipoh Restaurant Foh San Sdn Bhd. Located in Ipoh New Town, Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar (used to be known as the Ozbourne Street). Foh San Restaurant is famous for its Dim Sum (“点心”). The place will be packed with early risers in the morning, having the wide variety of light dishes and enjoying a nice pot of chinese tea. There are a few varieties of dishes which I can’t find it anywhere in Kuala Lumpur, specially the garlic chilly source, that makes the food sooo tasty and it’s very different from KL. It is not surprise that you are unable to get a place to sit. Don’t forget to check on the old lady boss in the counter while paying your bills, she is able calculate faster than you using the calculator.
27 Jul 2008, 17:30 p.m, reaching ipoh for Ipoh Beansprout with steam chicken (“怡保芽菜鸡”). Restaurant Lou Wong is the one which is famous for the dish. However, my friends prefers the one opposite corner of the restaurant where both are almost the same. You could get a few shops selling the same dishes, however Lou Wong will be the one which is the most packed. The place is located the same area as Restaurant Foh San. You will definitely feel enjoyable with the tender juicy chicken meat and the crunchy beansprout with a hot bowl of Hor Fun noodle or Rice. Check out this place around late evening, where business starts to get hot.
