Nothing much la there. The usual fare . Could be due to the hotel having full occupancy, the kitchen food were a bit messed up.
Papa took some "Half boiled" eggs, but when he cracked the eggs....it was more of "hard boiled" instead. The yolk were nearly cooked. Adui...
Off we went to buy mooncakes from Ming Yue Confectionery. We have been there last year and Mamarazzi love their Mooncakes. It's cheap and at least suit her taste buds.
From what she heard...usually when they started to sell mooncakes, the queue could be a few shops long. And if you re lucky when you come to the head of the line there will be mooncakes left for you to buy.
We arrived there around 9.30am and the queue was two shops long. A lady who was queueing behind of Mamarazzi said she came and buy the day before at 9am but when she got to the front of the queue, many types off mooncakes was out of stock already. Have to wait for the next baking session which some say in the afternoon.
A glance at the price....no wonder everyone are grabbing moon cakes from here. Where else can you get single yolk mooncakes for less than RM5? Even those sold in Pasar Malam cost more than that leh.
Business very good leh. Saw the old lady and the man busy folding the boxes for the shop to use.
Papa asked why never buy 4 yolks mooncakes. Mamarazzi was like "HUH?" eat yolk only ka? But now come to think of it...since the double yolk mooncakes is less than RM6..she should have bought those instead leh. Adui.....
When she cut the Single Yolk Lotus Paste mooncakes she was so surprised. She thought she took the wrong ones instead. Took mixed nuts one ka? Wah.....so generous with the melon seeds leh.
Papa said the mooncakes taste good. Not that sweet. Just nice. Would be perfect if they would roast the melon seeds first as it would be more aromatic.
Here is the address if you like to try out their mooncakes :-
Address: 50, Jalan Peh Kee Koh, Taman Kampar, 30250 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia
Phone:+60 5-255 4128
Be there early and be prepare with Plan A , Plan B and Plan C just in case they ran out of the ones you wanted. Don't waste time but choosing only when you come to the front of the queue.
hehe.. I love mooncakes but I love egg yolk more :D
ReplyDeleteLOL...you are same like Papa
Deleteeih, breakfast in the hotel eating "medium done" soft boiled eggs?? hehe, maybe like Mamarazzi said, full occupancy and the kitchen could have been too busy to prepare more food, hence forgotten to keep track of the cooking time of the soft boiled eggs gua?? hehe.. but Small Kucing so pandai, created "Orple Juice" leh, next time maybe he can be a bartender, creating his own cocktails woh~~
ReplyDeletelast time we stay here was better. This round was really ahem ahem
DeleteUncle SK heard of this Ming Yue Bakery from Auntie Claire and Mamarazzi, but his friend whose hometown is in Ipoh like have not heard about it leh.. everytime when we go to the Pasar Pinji "Big Tree Leg" to eat noodles and YTF, sure will pass by this bakery.. but have not see the long queue before leh, maybe not during mooncake festival season gua??
ReplyDeleteadoi.....your friend ah...not "pat" enough la. People from KL knows about it but his wn hometown he dunno. kakakaka.
DeleteYes...normal time no queue de. Or maybe when you passby the mooncakes habis jor so no queue lo.
The place is famous for its Fa Sang Peang. Very sedap. Next time buy and try. But now near mooncakes festival they dont make that lo. they solely make mooncakes
wah, nowadays still can get mooncake for less than RM5 a piece?? aiyoh, i think those from restaurants or bakeries in KL, already close to RM20 a piece leh, that is so cheap!! no wonder so many people already lining up to get the mooncakes as early as 9am, and still no guarantee they can get any.. fuyoh!!!
ReplyDeleteya lo....that's why die die also queue up and buy leh .
Deleteok next mth we go
ReplyDeleteTak berani guarantee coz next month they might start rest leh
DeleteOrple juice sound good, and the food looks great. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL....funny right
Deletekus semangat mak oi!! look at the filling of the mooncake, really generous leh.. Uncle SK also shocked, like Mamarazzi described, macam mixed nuts mooncake like that.. those usual ones bought here, probably less than 30% of the seeds there lor.. Uncle SK doesn't fancy egg yolks leh, he prefers pure lotus paste of red bean paste, actually lotus paste is more expensive than egg yolks but why those mooncakes with egg yolks are selling more expensive?? hahaha..
ReplyDeleteProbably coz salted eggs now the cheapest is 70 sen one biji . See the price of the single yolk and double yolk mooncake. It looks like rm1 difference.
DeleteHahaha you same like Mamarazzi and me ya. dont like yolk punya in the mooncakes
Me too. I love mooncakes with melons. Give the moomcakes some textures.
ReplyDeleteWow. That was quite a lot and you say a bit only?? The prices were very cheap compared to outside. I haven't buy any for myself yet. Maybe soon, will grab a few.
a bit only la compare to the one in front buying 15 boxes kihkkihkih . Ya lor...more melon seed nicer
DeleteWhoah, the prices are amazing! This type of no frills mooncake can be cheaper lah. I think it is just as good or maybe even better than those fancy expensive ones. Very worth it!
ReplyDeleteyes...for mamarazzi it taste nicer that the expensive ones. She likes plain red bean paste with kuaci. Too many things in the mooncake just confuse the tastebuds
Delete*looking out the window* Mana itu poslaju van belum sampai pun??? Haizzz!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYummzz, I see koko krunch and honey stars, hehe.. Ahh mooncakes! I like the lotus, pandan and red bean one.. Gimme !!
ReplyDeleteDid i see wrongly the price, nowadays the mooncake here is super expensive, haiz...
ReplyDeleteLike that is a bit ar? Is borong liao lor, LOL
ReplyDeleteWorth the price. No wonder the crowd went bizarre. I would love with the 4 yolks as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting place to visit. Those moon cakes look delicious and so pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo fancy, the moon cakes! I would love to taste one!
ReplyDeleteThis place is famous for their moon cakes, cheap and taste good! I used to buy the 5 assorted nuts moon cakes for myself and moon cakes with double yolks for my children. Now no longer buying because must watch our diet. You were very fortunate to get what you wanted in spite of the long queue.
ReplyDeleteWoi that's too cheap leh!! The other day I went to the pasar malam near my KL home, they were selling lotus paste single yolk for RM 12 per mooncake, my dad almost fainted! I should tell him to buy in Ipoh when he balik kampung next time. His kampung is Taiping...
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly I never been to this shop though I am an Ipoh nang. Well, probably I am too pamper and wait for others to feed me...hahahah.. Well, with all the new flavours like durian, kopi, green tea and etc, its nice to find these traditional moon cakes makers around. They are a bunch of shops that may extinct someday.
ReplyDeleteNow I've eaten moon pies before...a chocolate covered marshmallow cake. Never heard of moon cakes tho.
ReplyDeleteMy 2 eye balls went wide!
ReplyDeleteSooooooo cheap and so big!!
Good buy!
The lady in front bought 15 boxes for her 12 children la. The balance 3 for herself and mother in law. Thank God your mamarazzi doesn;t have such a big family.
ReplyDeleteI went there to borong yesterday... no long queue.. just until the entrance... but no 5 assorted nuts... not bad, yes, very generous with the kuaci.. :)
ReplyDeleteAiyo have to queue like that I surrender la. So cheap though!
ReplyDeleteIt's that time of year already. How time flies. We're not big on mooncakes, but we do make sure that we eat at least one a year..lol.
ReplyDeleteWOW! The mooncakes here are really realy cheap! I will ask my fren from ipoh to buy for me! :)
ReplyDeleteLove their mooncake and is affordable too. I went to TK yesterday and saw some mooncake priced at RM20+....so expensive.
