    By ah hong on December 16, 2008 | No Comments  Comments

    Our 一路向北 (one road head north) trip continues and this time we end up in original Old Town Kopitiam. So this is where all the Old Town Kopitiam franchise begun…from all small coffee shop onion rich

    Ipoh was famous with their White Coffee, and now you can find this Ipoh White Coffee brand in any hypermarket.

    Old Town White Coffee…since 1958. Wahhh…a year after our Independence day only they open this shop one leh. So classic man…

    We went to Ipoh Old Town White Cafe in bad timing, feels like is in RUSH HOUR…the whole kopitiam was packed with waiting customer :)

    What I remember in this Old Town Kopitiam was the Nam Heong Egg Tart. The egg tart crust was just crispy for you to chew…jeng !!!

    Plus the egg tart flavour was not too sweet or too plain, just ngam ngam for you to taste onion think

    Roti Bakar Satu !!! Some special of the Roti Bakar was they slice 1 layer of roti become 2…and then  stick it back again after adding kaya and butter. Eating this Roti Bakar just give me classic feeling…I can’t say is very tasty because it is just a roti ;)

    If you are thirsty under the hot sun, I will recommend you to have a cold Old Town White Coffee.

    I have tried both hot and cold Old Town White Coffee, and the cold wins in terms of the density taste of the coffee onion think

    Remember to have  some Nam Heong Egg Tart with Old Town White Coffee…just perfect combination for your tea time onion-drink

    By ah hong on December 16, 2008 | No Comments  Comments

    8 of us, the food hunter has arrive at Ipoh with blank stomach onion tired (our egg and bread meal in Hot Spring already digested)

    Ah Hong: Where is our next makan makan place?

    Ah Kit: Is in Big Tree Head (大树头)

    Ah Hong: What Big Tree Head (大树头)…I want Big Tree Foot (大树脚)…uh boh..

    Ah Kit: You want Foot…then I give you my Foot onion scold

    At the end, we end up in the Big Tree Foot (大树脚) for Ipoh Dry Yong Tau Fu…

    My first Ipoh meal for that day was Kon Lou Hor Fun.

    So the legend is true…that the Ipoh Hor Fun was special and processed by the water from the Ipoh’s mountain. You feel like you can slurp the Hor Fun like eating maggi mee…but sure it was more tastier and healthier than maggi mee onion good

    Meat Ball, what can I say…a bit better than the standard one we eat in Klang. It has the pleasant meat smell and and you will feel the elasticity when bite on it ;)

    At last for this meal was the famous Dry Yong Tau Fu onion-fuyoh

    Some of the special one is the egg that stuff with Yong Tau Fu…very special and tasty.

    All was served in dry without soup one and just pop into your mouth without any sweet sauce. Yummy…I feel like want to be that Yong Tau Fu.. onion sushi

    Ah Kit: Oih…don’t snap the picture on the food and mumble there alone when makan makan lar…

    Ah Hong: Now I am pro broh ger u know…have to be professional one you know…

    Ah Kit: What ever lah…eat that yong tau fu lah you…

    Some conversation was invented up for to chill the food hunter reader…it never happens at the first place
