Best of Ipoh

Taugeh Chicken in Ipoh is famous but another type which is famous is Salted Chicken. Fragrance with herbal and with a touch of salty, this chicken is highly recommended must try at Ipoh. I hear that there is a branch at KL but I'm not sure if its this company.


Aun Kheng Lim salted chicken is located at Ipoh town. Some people said there is another brand which are nicer than this but we always bought from here only.


RM16 per chicken. They can sell hundreds of chicken a day to many people and tourist. Their store is full of empty boxes ready for take away only. Mostly will pre-order but they do prepare some for passerby. So go early if you didn't make reservation.


Every chicken will be nicely packed in individual box with nice plastic bag.

Hiong Piah, originally from Perak, is a type of biscuit that is well known for Malaysian. Many people should have tried before so i think i don't have to explain further.


Yee Hup Hion Piah is one of the popular brand. Nice packaging & nice taste.


One of their mini branch is very my grandparent house. Its located just outside Sam Poh Cave Temple & near the pomelo stores.


Nikki always bought a lot of Hiong Piah and many others for souvenirs.

Anyone interested can place order. I'll buy for you when i go back Ipoh. But you have to pay me back la. Hehe...

My Grandparent's Big Birthday Celebration

Last month during my exam period, we went back Ipoh to celebrate my grandparent birthday. Its been a long long time since we do it in banquet. Its a good chance to gather all the remaining family members, although have to spend some money. The restaurant is quite good in terms of their food, big portion and quite cheap compare to KL. Let me introduce the food first then only the people and celebration.


This is one of the most popular & reputable restaurant at Ipoh.


Restaurant chosen by my grandparent, my mom them decide the menu, 2nd uncle make the reservation. Good cooperation & good choice.


They only provide tea. Soft drinks & whiskey brought by us.


Super huge starter platter. Nice & delicious.


Don't worry, we boycott shark fin. This is a very tasty fish soup that is similar with shark fin soup. We can save the sharks while enjoying this traditional dish, so please don't eat shark fin anymore. No demand then no killing.


Ipoh's must eat dish, "steamed" chicken.


Yummy butter fried prawns with crispy crackers.


Fresh steamed fish.


Adult's favourite, mix vegetables. I only like few types of the vegetables in it.


Longevity noodle that must be eaten by everyone during birthday celebration. The noodle must be long and cannot cut to symbolize longevity. Different place have different cooking style but all bear the same meaning.


Last but not least, sweet & cute dessert. I don't like the red bean soup because they put santan.


After the fulling meal, its time to bring out the main "star". This 4.5kg pandan cake was custom made at Bee's Bakery, Jusco Kepong. Super heavy & huge, but very tasty as well. Bought by us but paid by 2nd uncle.


Cake cutting ceremony by the two birthday boy & girl.


People from the restaurant help us cut out & divide the cake. We only ate part of the edge of the cake, not even 10%. So everyone get to take back as much cake as we like. I took some for my next day breakfast.


Group photo with everyone attended, a big happy family from my mother side.



Our grandparent. The tiny little one is my great grandmother, we fetch her come all the way from Bidor. Nobody even herself know her exact age. Definitely over 90 and some say over 100.



I don't remember what's their relationship with my grandma but I call them "yi po & yi gong" (2nd grandma & grandpa).


My mom is the eldest child in family & this uncle is the eldest son, a.k.a my mon's brother.


On the left is the family of my mom's sister (youngest daughter in family). On the right is the family of my mom's brother (youngest son & child in family).


The lady in black is my grandma's friend. She's a pity & lonely widow, but me & Nikki don't like her. Tell you a secret, she is Nikki's ex future mother in-law. Wahahaha!


One of my favourite tradition, everyone get an angpau. Yea! Even the waitress that served our tables get it.

Uncle Song's Birthday Celebration

Last weekend me and my family celebrated my uncle's birthday. He's alone so my sister suggest to treat him eat wstern food and celebrate with us.


Chili's Restaurant at Midvalley Megamall.



My whole family with my mother's younger brother.



Star of the day is our Uncle Song.


Free flow of soft drink, fruit juice & ice water.


Caesar salad with prawns. My favourite salad with fresh & nice prawns.


Triple Play: Wing Over Buffalo (chicken wings tossed in spicy wing sauce), Southwestern Eggrolls (smoked chicken, black beans, corn, jalapeño Jack cheese, red peppers and spinach wrapped inside a crispy flour tortilla), and Chicken Crispers (strips of hand-battered chicken fried to perfection) served with dipping sauces. My sis divided this dish while i'm busy with dunno what so i didn't get to take the picture of the whole dish.


Kickin' Jack Nachos: Nachos with beans and queso with a hint of seasoned beef with jalapeño Jack cheese and Margarita spice, served with house-made pico de gallo and sour cream. One of their significant appetizer. I think it taste like normal thin crust pizza only, nothing special.


Fish & Chips.


Chocolate Chip paradise Pie a.k.a Brownie's. A warm, chewy bar layered with chocolate chips, walnuts and coconut, topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with hot fudge and caramel. FOC for birthday celebration. They don't check I/C so you can just say its your birthday. But be prepare to attract attention as they will sing songs for you.


The birthday boy! Happy Birthday...!

MCP Celebrations

Another steamboat buffet? Yup! But this time is not for the sake of eating but for celebration. We use our remaining budget to treat all the talents that help us for free. This is also the 1st time (i think) our whole class went out dining together. That night was very enjoyable and happy because all the unwanted annoying classmate didn't attend. They didn't have heart at all and give face to attend, but it make us happy as well cause no need see their face and hear their voice.


The most famous steamboat buffet restaurant at Sunway. This is the 2nd time i dine there. Their BBQ chicken wing is super nice!


Our table consist all girls which doesn't have "yi tai" when eating buffet. Haha...


All the guys and talents are at the other table so they were more successful in grabbing chicken wings and finishing their foods.


4 of us doing crazy & weird pose again. We wanted to take 1 photo only but YCC challenge us to change pose every 3 seconds. So we end up taking so many ugly photos.


Our dearest producer very "creatively" plan a lucky draw to give out all the remaining props. The grand prize is a big rug won by our director. The most expensive prize is battery won by one of the talents. Other prizes include glass plate, curtain clips, deco, and wrapper. I won't a marker pen. There are 2 unlucky person who didn't get anything. The funniest lucky draw i have ever seen.



Last but not least is of course group photos.



At the end we still lepak around the table chatting and acting.


Our pretty and "rich" producer paying the bill.


Its quite already quite late and yet we STILL lepak outside the restaurant, blocking the whole corridor and entrance. Everyone seems tak sampai hati wanna separate and go back. So we stay there and chat for quite a long time. Finally it end.....


Ho Jiak BBQ Steamboat Buffet @ Kepong

Lately very busy with study & exam. Still got many things i haven write in my blog. So now i'm slowly updating it. Somewhere in mid last month, my mom suddenly say wanna eat BBQ steamboat so we went to a restaurant at Kepong that is recommended by Cuiyi (she never try before but her bro did). Its at the back row of new stores at Carrefour side. Already so long so i didn't remember the price. If not mistaken is RM18+. I think its quite nice cause got quite a lot varieties. My sis say its even better than Ampang Waterfont. For me both also nice.


I like it when they separate steamboat & BBQ, got more space. Choice of soup is of course clear soup & Tom Yam. Their Tom Yam quite nice.


These are all the food that we ate. The choice for BBQ is not very good because very less fish, only 1 type of mutton, no beef, no pork, but got lots of chicken with different flavors. They also have fried chicken and BBQ chicken wing, but we didn't get to taste it cause we sat outside and tak sempat grab when out.


A table full of food....

Bumbu Bali @ Puchong

Wanted to go Bali but no chance? Now you can escape to Bali for a while and taste their food. BumbuBali Restaurant at Puchong (near Giant) is a very nice place for dining, although quite expensive. But its worth trying and I highly recommend it.


BumbuBali logo on the menu.


A very Bali feel environment.


Nasi Campur BumbuBali (RM). Combination of Balinese grilled lemongrass prawn, squid, fish, beef or chicken rendang, and sate lilit, served with lawar, sambel terasi and sambel matah. A must try for true Bali taste.


Siap Megoreng (RM). Deep fried lemongrass chicken served with lawar, sambel terasi and sambel matah. A very big piece of chicken. Yum....


Lemongrass Mojito (RM11.00). Soda blended with lemongrass and mint. A cooling and fragrance unique drink.


Non-Balinese sibling enjoying Bali food.

Seafood @ Kepong

We wanted to have dinner at hawker stalls at Kepong but we went to early so they haven't open. So we go around and find for other things to try. Our final decision is a newly open restaurant, Restaurant Penang Nibong Tebal Seafood Porridge. Their recommended main dishes include crab porridge & crab bihun. The prices is slightly higher but the quantity is quite big. Taste also quite good. I wanted to give credit to the boss as his service is super good. Below is the food that we ordered:


Crab Bihun (RM15.00)


Stebass Fish Porridge (RM10.00)


Kam Heong Lala (RM10.00)
