It's interesting to see how the old premise where Ipoh's legendary dim sum giant previously occupied has been transformed into a charming and quaint tea house. A lot of thoughts have been put into the layout and landscaping of the old premise. On one side of the outlet houses their retail segment which features various tea products and utensils, on the other side is the dining area with charming … [Read more...]

I remembered having a first taste of JJ Swiss Roll at a friend's place few years back and I was really impressed with the varieties. Since then, JJ Swiss Roll has expanded to 3 outlets and the one nearest to me is actually this "shop" (more like a kiosk with chiller and all) located at the back corner of De' Mouth, a Chinese restaurant. I went back home few months back, with a mission at hand - … [Read more...]

The title is self explanatory. Together with my usual partners in crime, we drove back to my lovely hometown, Ipoh and practically nonstop binge eating through out the week. I'm now having a hard time adjusting back to our usual de-lata lifestyle here at KL. As usual, the balik kampung rush has choked the highway to death. Time flies when we were having fun gossiping and before we knew it, … [Read more...]

Our first visit to Unique Seafood falls on Father’s Day, with a lounge full of customers waiting to be seated we were fortunate enough to secure a table shortly. We handed dad the baton of ordering since it was his day. We were expecting jumbo oysters, huge mantis prawns, bigger sized crabs but most of the orders turned out less than satisfactory. According the restaurant manager, those were … [Read more...]
“Dong Dong Dong”, we were distracted from our scrumptious fare of dim sum in Foo San. A man in his early 30s is holding a pair of flat chisels to break the big block of candies apart. Two packets (RM 3) of Deuk Deuk Tong was brought home then. Having lived in a “mentos” generation, it is something new for us but not for our parents. It has brought back a lot of childhood memories of … [Read more...]
Old Town is always a pride of Ipoh people with the origination of White Coffee, curry noodles who made their name to foreign land, hor hee that attracts patrons from other states and other scrumptious variety of food. For me, it is a place that stir up nostalgia because it is a place where my parents brought me for afternoon tea since young before Starbucks, Coffee Bean or the air … [Read more...]
In Ipoh, eating“Zhu Fan” is so popular that in fact we have the saying among ourselves (or maybe just my family, but who cares? :p) that Ipoh is a land distinguished for its “Zhu Fan” culture.

The cook will use a huge metal saucepan to boil the broth and … [Read more...]
