Thong Sui Kai , Jln Sultan Ekram, Ipoh

Another "Once Upon A Time " post. 

I can't believe it. We went to Ipoh so many times but this was our first time having a meal at Thong Sui Kai.

Thong Sui is soupy dessert. Kai is means road in Cantonese. Hence Thong Sui Kai roughly means Dessert Road. This is the place where we can find yummy dessert.

For me , yummy dessert of course must have loads of ice. If there are fruits and Ice cream as topping it's even better.

Yup... Papa ordered this big bowl of Mixed Fruits Ice for me to share.

Some sotong kangkung as snack. It's actually blanched water convolvulus/chinese spinach with blanched soaked cuttlefish. Nothing special, right? But when it's mixed with the special sweet and salty sauce.. it tasted fantastic. Add some grounded peanuts and sesame seed...Fulamak..best giler.

But I was still hungry leh. Hence Papa ordered a nowl of Ho Hee(noodles) for me. 

Slurppp... ini baru best.

This is a makan place worth visiting in Ipoh. Parking maybe a bit hard to find but you can park behind the stalls.

Pusat Kuih & Kek Khoo Eng Chee, Ipoh

A-la-la-la-la-long ago we went to Ipoh. Was it last year? Hmmm... think so...Mamarazzi found these photos in the blog draft ...some how it's floating there more more than a year.

Wokay, guess it's time to share it. Well....after queuing up for mooncakes for more than an hour at Ming Yue last year, Mamarazzi saw a shop nearby also have quite a number of people. Must be something good there

A bakery...old style bakery. 

Business seems to be pretty good. There was people queueing for the kuihs there. 

They have large varieties of kuih-muih. Hmm...anything you can think off..maybe can find it here.

Mamarazzi bought a bit of this and that. Bought Chai Kuih (vegetable) for Papa. Quite big and a lot of inti.

Some nyonya kuih for herself

And Angku for me. 

If you are craving for some local nyonya kuih, you can try out this shop.

June - Makan Trip to Ipoh

Remember my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary and Ah Kung's 80th birthday celebration in June? 

My Kaw Kaw planned it with Papa and fly back to join the celebration. She came back early and it was a school holiday, we decided to go on a makan trip to Ipoh.

Go Ipoh of course must look for Auntie Claire. Wahhhhh!!!! a big WELCOME gift from Auntie Claire. Yumz.....

 After chatting some, we went to a relative house and I got to paddle in the pool . Syoknya.....

That evening Auntie Claire bring us to Restarrant Tuck Kee at Jalan Theater coz Mamarazzi missed eating this. Steamed octopus. So delicious.

Not only that leh....she even ordered a plate of braised chicken feet for me . 

 

I love it and practically finished the whole plate by myself

 Also had Wat Tan Hor noodle. Eat till very full leh and yet Auntie Claire worried that we are not full enough. 

Off we went to Restaurant Fong Wei Ge Hotpot.  The soup was pretty good .  Very appetising.

Plus a plate of Salted Egg Yolk fried Chicken. 

Uiks? Where's the photo of the Mun Yee Mee ah? Hmm...must have been too busy eating till forgotten to snap photo. 

That evening really full to the max . Auntie Claire suggested to go and have Ice Cream I also had to wave white flag. 

We had a good rest that night in the hotel and continue with more makan trip the next day. 

The  next morning we arranged to have breakfast with Auntie Claire and Auntie Wenn at  Restaurant Sin Choi Yuen at Taman Pertama.

I had Loh Mee. Hmm...didn't really like it coz different from the ones in KL. 

Mamarazzi had this delightful bowl of Wantan noodles with Dumplings. She loves the dumplings a lot as it's full of yummy ingredients. Similar to the ones she made at home. And surprisingly it only cost RM3.50. 

 Papa and Kaw Kaw shared the Char Keoy Teow and 

 The Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun. Am not sure how it taste coz didn't ask them

 Then Auntie Wenn and Auntie Claire ordered this for us to try. Glutionuos Rice with kaya. Look simple but taste good leh.

After the heavy breakfast, we drop by Auntie Wenn's  shop. Mamarazzi bough some dried stevia leaves and some  dried flowers to make soup.

Despite the stevia leaves are the dried type, she can see that it's still very fresh. The price is much cheaper than the place where she usually buy the stevia leaves.

Next time must buy some more from there.

Paiseh....Auntie Wenn also gave us some "hand letters" . Thank you very much Auntie Wenn.

 Second round breakfast at the hotel. Actually my heart was not into eating . i wanted to swim aje. The swimming pool was right by the cafe in the hotel .

Ah...that was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you Auntie Claire, Auntie Wenn and Auntie Nancy for everything . 

Restoran Ipoh, Jalan Datuk Onn Jaafar

Good morning.  It's the last few days of Chinese New Year.  Guess this weekend everyone will be busy going "Pai Nian ". Most restaurants would be full. 

Tonight we will be going out with some good friends for makan too. 

I hope the food will be as good as the food at Restoran Ipoh at Jalan Dato Onn Jaafar which Auntie  Elin treat us to during our trip to Ipoh last year.

The tilapia fish was good. No mud smell like in some restaurant.  Mamarazzi still trying to puzzle out HOW to make the paste.  So yummy.

Paiseh...knowing Mamarazzi 's love for stinky beans,  Auntie  Elin pre-ordered this dish.

Not everyone would enjoy this bean but Mamarazzi and Papa sure enjoyed it very much.

Some greens to go with the food. Portion just nice.

This one was ordered specially for me. Got gravy and all in one pot to go with my rice.

Wah lau eh....so many dishes ..where to start ya?

But if you ask me...this one is my favourite.  Fried just nice. Crunchy  and well marinated.

Thank you very much , Auntie Elin and Uncle B, for the lovely dinner. Hope you guys will be having a great Chap Goh Mei !

Roast Meat at Restaurant First Kwong Chow, Ipoh (Not Halal)

I must be getting old or what.....after the lunch I felt so sleepy leh. Sleep sleep ...dunno how and dunno why and dunno where I end up at.

Eye half open and saw Auntie Claire and more friends. Mamarazzi asked me to wake up and call "Auntie Nancy" wor. I also blur blur sotong say "hi" then zzz ....

 Got this special meat. Not sure what is the name. 

One part lean meat like Char Siew and one part fat. Wah....Mamarazzi like oh. Aiyo...Auntie Claire why tarak say got second round. Then Mamarazzi would have leave some room for more food leh. Must come here again to have this. 

 This chinese sausages also quite good but kalah by the above half half meat.

 Many people queue up just to buy the roast meat from here leh. Managed to snap the phone number. Errrr....if you wanna try out...do call up first. Dunno whether it's all sold off leh.

 See the queue. Though long queue but we got our food very fast. Yay!

Auntie Nancy gave Mamarazzi some white Rain Lily. Fuiyoh.... hers so healthy and big leh. Have re-pot the Rain Lily. Looking forward to its flowering

Yong Tau Foo at Kedai Kopi Kwong Hong , Ipoh

 Wah very "the" hunrgy leh. Morning breakfast already digested long time ago.  Is this the shop? Auntie Claire said eat "liew". What is "liew" ? Is it shop name is "liew"?

 Hehehe....bikin malu...went to the wrong shop.

 Wah...Yong Tau Foo....ohhh this is called "liew" ya. Oh my kucing! so many choices leh.  

 One table not enough...add with few more table leh. Just like hotel buffet leh.

Lucky for us that Auntie Elin and her husband can early and "chup" a table for us. We don't have to stand and wait for table. Thank you very much , Auntie Elin!!!

 But for the food had to wait long oh..... half hour leh. Coz that was eve of public holiday and lunch time some more .

First, have to "kiap" the "liew" ...then the bowl of "liew" will have to queue up. Wah....very long queue leh. Queue like snake till "S" shape and "U" shape and also have "apartment" stacking up leh. 

 While waiting....drink some and eat some "Thong Sui" first la. 

 Papa spied next table ordered this. He also ordered la. Hey....not bad leh. Cooling on such a hot day.

 Finally, our food arrived liao. I had the Ipoh Hor Fun. A type of flat noodles. 

 Some fried stuffs. Very crispy as it was just out from the wok. 

 Some soupy stuffs.

 And some vegetables. Too bad that the fish paste had fell out of the vegetables. Still tasted great.

Was surprised at the price of the YTF/Liew here. Only 60sens a piece. Wah lau eh...if in KL , the price already doubled lo.

 Papa's eyes very sharp one leh....also spied next table having this mushroom chicken feet. Ordered one bowl. He said very nice wor. Not that oily too. Said next time wanna come here to eat this again.

Sorry ah...didn't manage to snap photo of the shop when it's open. The next day pass by this shop again , baru found out the name of the shop. It's Kedai Kopi Kwong Hong.
