During our last trip to Ipoh, Auntie Claire and her gang brought us to a famous Lai Fun in Gopeng. Wah lau eh...they are sure makan kaki to the max leh.
Just finished the dinner at Kedai Makanan Dan Minuman(Restaurant) Cui Hu Jing and then one of the gang suggested to have Lai Fun while on the way back to Ipoh town. Apa lagi...off we went Lai Fun hunting.
Arrived there quite late...think it was around 9pm (?). Not much "liew" (additional ingredients) left. Heard that this shop start business at 8pm .
But we managed grab a bowl or two of "liew".
Initially ordered a bowl of Lai Fun to share. Everyone were quite full from the dinner earlier but just wanna try out the Lai Fun there since we were in that area. It's said that this Lai Fun is homemade. Taste and texture is unlike the machine made which is more chewy.
From the look of it, Mamarazzi thinks it look something like the Lai Fun used in Trengganu laksa but not as dark color.
Verdict- Gooood.
Errrr...address ah.... Errrrr...have to ask Auntie Claire and Auntie Nancy coz Mamarazzi tarak jot down. The restaurant have no name...only saw it's at number 295. Mamarazzi tried and google...got image..but no address...got address but no image.
Saw one Lai Fun restaurant listed in google search.. Restaurant Xin Kim Hoong : 295, Jalan Merdeka, Taman Gopeng Jaya, 31600, Gopeng, Perak. Suspected it might be the same restaurant that we went to as the chances of two restaurants selling Lai Fun, start business around 8pm and having the same Lot No : 295 is quite low right? Anyway...will update the correct address if there is any readers out there who can help. Thanks

DeleteHello, hello, so sorry this auntie so slow in coming. Lose out to auntie Claire. Ya, ya, this is the correct address....295, Jalan Merdeka, Taman Gopeng Jaya, 31600, Gopeng, Perak. But it has no signboard and no shop name. So this Restaurant Xin Kim Hoong is not its name. By the way, the 1st corner shop Restoran Crystal Jade serves good food too. You can check it out if you are on the way.
ReplyDeleteLOL...no need to say sorry. ...found the name liao. it was inside the newspaper article pasted on the wall.
