Practically, Ipoh town area is divided between the old town and new (not so new...) town, by the Kinta River. After strolling around the old town, I usually will drove over to the 'new' town. I have
blogged about the new town before where it's becoming like a mini Jonker street with the night market around. However, it seems didn't materialise as it seems the same. I thought the authorities should do more to promote the 'new' errr.. (not so new) town.

Lots of stalls setup to extend their business during CNY |
I finally had Lou Wong Chicken Hor Fun again and though the bean sprout and chicken are still good, I find somehow the soup for the hor fun not as good as before. Overall, it's still good.

Half-chicken for four of us |
|
Big bean sprouts ...yummy |
|
The soft and smooth Hor fun .... |
I guess I will try other 'taugeh ayam' like Ong Kee next time ....
Didn't get to eat this when I went to Ipoh on a short day trip. Claire took me to a restaurant and treated me to a scrumptious feast, could not manage to eat anything else after that.
ReplyDeleteHope you can try it in your next trip to Ipoh. Anyway, I think it's better to have a scrumptious meal than this one. Lol
DeleteI always love the beansprouts from Ipoh. Fat and juicy. I have not been to Ipoh in ages. Must make a trip up soon.
ReplyDeleteIpoh to kl is near, you can always make a weekend drive over here.
DeleteI always loves beansprouts on it's own instead of mixing with kway teow, mee, etc....
ReplyDeleteYou have it on its own without mixing here .
DeleteI love that plate of white cut chicken.. I think me myself can finish half a chicken! Yummzzz..
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. I think you can. You need to replenish now.
DeleteBean sprouts.... yummmm :)
ReplyDeleteYou love it too ?
DeleteI always like the white chicken and beansprouts but have not tried the ones in Ipoh.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it's almost the same outside especially if you ate at those good ones.
Deleteso Ipoh is divided into the old and new town by the Kinta River, interesting.. when I go to Ipoh, I have no idea which part of Ipoh I am at, or maybe the most the name of the place only, haha!!
ReplyDeleteYes , for the town area. We used to call one side old town and the other side after the river new town.
Deletehmmm you went to Lou Wong!! I'm actually a little surprised, I thought locals don't go there.. err, wait, you are staying in SG/JB, so you are not local la, haha.. I can't remember if I've been to Lou Wong or Onn Kei, they are just next to each other but always packed with people..
ReplyDeleteHahaha... I'm considered an outsider now having left Ipoh since 1992.
DeleteIpoh is famous for beansprouts chicken, I am glad I had this many times, and almost every time I have been to Ipoh, I have to say I like it!! sometimes I go for rice but most of the time I go for the hor fun..
ReplyDeleteYeah, must at least eat once when you are here regardless which restaurant. I prefer the hor fun, cannot find that smooth in other places.
DeleteTry the one at Cowan street.. that one is best!!
ReplyDeleteYup, tried it before, it's nice but expensive!
DeleteI have never been to Ipoh before, been to Penang, Malacca, KL, JB, Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands but not Ipoh
ReplyDeleteFrankly, nothing much to see in Ipoh but you can stop by for a meal before going to Penang.
DeleteSteamed chicken!! Nothing could go wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteHeard so much about Ipoh from other bloggers (and now, you), I would wish to visit this wonderful city one day.
yeah, maybe you can stop-by while vacationing in KL and Penang.
DeleteI never have enough of Ipoh's Fabulous Hor Fun that comes with chicken & taugehs! Always make me hungry anytime. Only Ipoh has the best and no where else could come close, right?
ReplyDeleteHahahha... the bean sprout and chicken are nice ! I also love it while the hor fun is smooth!
