Keng Nam@Jln Raja Ekram, Ipoh

This place is an ideal place for a quick breakfast. Last week, my colleague and I went to Keng Nam for breakfast.
She ordered a plate of Chee Cheong Fun, with mixed gravy. Lovely, she is a fan of Chee Cheong Fun.


I ordered the dry curry mee, it not so coconuty, for those who doesn't like thick coconut gravy, this is an ideal one!


We also order yam cake to share.....


The food were good, serving was fast and I love the ice milk tea here also.


The coffee shop located at the last corner shop along Jalan Ekram, beside Golden Dragon Tour. Open for breakfast only.

Restaurant Cordon Blue@Jln K.K

The name sounds like a high-class restaurant ya?! Not at all! This place was recommended by a ex-colleague few years back...a humble shop, whereby one can't even see the billboard clearly. However, the quality of their chops, i.e. chicken chop and pork chop are tip-top! Tender meat and nice sweet tomato sauce chicken chop we ordered, come with fried egg & rice - RM7.50
It's not cheap for a coffee shop standard, but worth it, coz it's so yummy!



The shop located along Jln Kuala Kangsar, No 414.
Open for lunch only.

Sun Wen Cau @ New Menglembu, Ipoh

My friend told me that this restaurant serves excellent crab, so we went there to check out the crab. So far, we've tried their salted egg crab, Kam Heong Crab and claypot crab, all very tasty! With the high turnover, the crab is super fresh, for sure!
Last weekend, we ordered other dishes at Sun Wen Cau, which were equally good and at very reasonable price!

Deep fried treadfin / Ma Yau fish - very fine meat. RM 26 for 700g.


Then, came the Gong Po Farm Frog - RM15. The Gong Po sauce was good and blends very well with the frog.


Last but not least, Thai style Mantis Prawns - RM8. This dish was good, with some fresh cucumber and onions to complement the fried stuff...just that the sauce was a bit too sweet!


We also took away 2 medium salted egg crab for RM 26.
I reckon that the MSG level is low here, serving is pretty fast. Generally, most dishes we have tried were good. A nice place for affordable order dishes dining.

Direction to Sin Wen Chau
Coming from Ipoh town towards Menglembu, turn to the traffic light on the right towards Menglembu New Town. Go straight all the way, past by 2 traffic lights, you'll see a new row of shop lots ( Menglembu One Curve ) on your right. Then, slow down and turn right at the third traffic lights, you 'll see Sin Wen Chau on the corner lot on your left.

Hoong Kheong Liu Fun

I wanted to blog about this 'Liu Fun' stall long time back...but it really take effort to do so. This is because one have to wait to get a seat and wait to get your order. The waiting time can be killing if you are in a hurry to rush for work. Besides that, when you long for the noodle and Liu, the shop might be closed. Sometimes, it can be closed for more than 1 week. Last but not least, it only open for breakfast!

Me and my friend supposed to go for Foh San Dim Sum today @ 7am, but the place was extremely crowded already, since we are rushing for work, so we decided to change venue. I guess, lot of people were like us, wanted to be the first one to visit the new Foh San Dim Sum located along the same road with Ming Court and Yuk Fook Mun...so guess you can imagine can crowded will that place especially when if comes to weekend and public holiday.

Arrived at Hoong Kheong around 7.20am, waited for 35mins to get our food. I simply love the dry noodle here, with very nice gravy, which is full of flavour and hot!

One of the reason why the gravy was so good is because they are still using charcoal to cook it....


The "Liu" at Hoong Kheong is superb! Not mass production...the taste is so good, with no compromise in ingredient!


I love the meat ball here a lot..and also the fried stuff also good!!


Located at the corner shop along Jalan Masjid, opens from 7am- 11.30am.....serving authentic Liu Fun in Ipoh. Must try!

Tg Tualang Seafood - Lung Seng

My auntie treated us a nice seafood lunch at Tg Tualang last weekend. Instead of having it at our usual restaurant, I suggested to try Lung Seng, as I read a positive review in Precious Pea's blog about this restaurant.

Arrived on Sunday morning around 11.40am, nobody inside the restaurant...obviously the crowd is more at Lian Fong....we were a bit skeptical..haha....but towards the end of our dining, the crowd started coming in.

The first dish that arrived was fried rice - taste very good! Everybody loves it! Already a very good start!


As usual, we ordered 2 type of fresh water prawns - one is steamed and another one is stir fried with sauce. I love the stir fried version of prawns as it taste so good - not like some , whereby you can only taste the sauce outside the shell.


The steamed prawns , with Chinese wine and egg white were equally good!

Then came the crabs - my nieces' favourite.
The salted egg crab and Kam Heong Crab were good - 4 medium sized crab were merely
RM55/=
Similarly, the gravy blended so well with the super fresh crab! So good!!



Lastly, the vege

We concluded the food at Lung Seng is superb! Everybody loves the dishes....we will defintely come back!!
The total damage were RM176/=.
The restaurant:
10, Jalan Besar, Tg Tualang, 31800, Perak.
Tel:05-3600735


My aunties also bought some nice kaya puff and almond biscuits from the stalls outside the restaurant...the Sak Kei Ma and kaya puff were famous!!

Our dinner



Yesterday dinner we ate nice Kam Heong Crab - take away version from a restaurant. The gravy was good- and crab was fresh. I simply love the blend of onions, dry prawns and curry leave.
Recently we dined at this restaurant and tried their Salted Egg Crab and Oyster Sauce Crab- both were satisfactory, therefore this time round we tried another type. Hmm, it was good also!1KG for RM40.....is it expensive?!
I hope I can share more food at this restaurant next time.....
the last round visit I didn't blog about it because the place was too dark to snap nice photo.....haha!
Last but not least, crab in fact is low in calories and cholestrol - so why not?!

Small Surprise from CIMB

Life is fun because it always fills with surprises.Yesterday I received a courier document from CIMB Islamic.....the letter was as such


Oh, yea, few months back, I signed up for the MaxInvest Save and standing instruction to save some bucks.....never expect them to reward me with a voucher! Even though it was only a RM10 voucher....hey, I am happy! I never expect it....like bf said, mayb the money they spent on courier service cost more than the voucher...haha!!!

See how much they are doing to impress their customers and increases customers' satisfaction...I really appreciate it!
