My ipoh trip
Hey all!!!
I'm back! from a wonderful wonderful weekend in Ipoh. It was just great to get away from KL for awhile to enjoy the easy-slow pace of ipoh, the good food (at reasonable prices), the ipoh-leng-lui (who is with me -- my gf! muaks!) and great companies of friends.
I also attended a friend's wedding and it was a blessed time to see everyone celebrating with him. It would be one of those occasion ppl will be talking about for years to come esp the early morning session where the bridgegroom have to 'prove himself worthy' at the door before he is let into the house of the bride.
This entry is about food really. I think it's a passion that has been recently unlocked and I'm all out to map out all the delicious yummies in ipoh.
There are 2 very outstanding makan session is noteworhty here. The first is the police-station-curry-mee. It's so yummy!!!!!! It has got this spice in it and taste very different from the 'normal' curry mee I've had. The blend of spices, chilli... etc makes whole event unforgetable really. Even Chou Yun Fatt came to the shop to taste the food between breaks during the shoot of 'The King and I'.
The other occasion, which i failed to document any picture with my digicam is me having timsum with Lawrence at -Tai Thong Restraunt on Sunday. Both of us ate rm40 worth of timsum! That's alot for Ipoh really! Muhahahahaha... The porridge and the carrot cake was mediocre but the other timsum tasted real fresh. They weren't over steamed so the juices was filled with flavour. The mixture of fillings in the tim sum was also done in good proportion.
Finding these great makan places is easy in ipoh. You tell your driver, or your friend who is taking you around the name of the food. For example if you want to eat the beef noodles in rainbow-city just say 'rainbow city beef noodles' or 'police station curry mee'. I've been to ipoh a few times. So far, my mental map of ipoh is landmarked by all the eating places... hehehe.

Segambut Fried Chicken Rice - awesome!
It tasted so good.. i decided to write a quick blog on it!
The shop is only open on wednesday and saturday. The shop which really is a bigger hawker stall is situated beside the road with zinc roof. It was already crowded when we got there at about 1245pm and by 1pm they are already selling out fast. Suprisingly i didn't feel too hot sitting there and the hygiene is pretty okay for a place like that, ie. no bad smell, no rats..etc
What so special about the chicken rice? first the service is so fast. You sit down. You order, it's there. The chicken is fried but not overly done. It's very juicy and yet the skin remains crispy. Added to that the chicken taste so flavourful. The kind after you finish with the skin (it's a must!) and meat, you 'suck' on the bones to get the juice out.
The 'oil' rice that comes with it also smells so good. Nicely done, not too oily and they manage to get the 'taste inside the rice'. Cantonese call it 'yap meh'.
The chilli is AWESOME. Dont' have much time to describe it but between the three of us, we finish about half a bowl - not rice bowl but noodle size bowl!
With such great chilli sauce, the dish is just isn't complete with 'spare parts' ie. the liver and the 'kai kan' (what is it call in english?) .
Between 3 of us we spent Rm26. 1 BIG plate of chicken + 1 small plate of 'spare parts' + extra chicken. 5 rice. 3 drinks. So the price is reasonable.
I haven't had such a lucn for a long time and I told my friend - the makan guru - Vincent Kwok - we gotta do that again next week. But first, the need to exercise.....
