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.
