Ipoh Roasted Duck!! Best in Malaysia!

Ah Bong brought us to The Best Roasted Duck in whole Ipoh, and perhaps whole Malaysia.... i don't think i'll ever enjoy roast duck in KL again... because, the roasted duck in this stall is seriously good wehhh... so good that i NEED to have a special post on it!

Sun Yeong Wai Roasted Duck Shop

the roasted ducks neatly aligned

so banyak famous people came here before...

even TVB artists....

the Chef had undergone training in Hong Kong, before opening this shop ^^

everyone happy with this place...

i am about to find out how good it is...

Their siew yok (Roasted Pork) is not nice, RM 15 for a plate of siew yok that le rather bland and not crispy...

haih.... should have oredered more duck...

oh yes, behold, Malaysia Best Roasted Duck

super delicious,

the skin crispy in the outside..

it breaks open with a 'pop'...

your teeth bite through the juicy fatty layer,

which melts in your mouth...

you saw into the tender smooth flesh,

the herbs aroma fills you in...

and suddenly a voice came shouting inside you:

HOU HOU SEK AAAAA!!!!!

(very very very very very nice to eat!!!!)

seriously, no exaggerations!

the delicious herb gravy, very sweet smelling, and taste very good...

wahhhh..... so nice roasted duck...

who can resist?

I'm heading North to Sungai Petani today~~~ yippie... plan to visit Ko Taratau, if possible... more posts to come...

Cuti-cuti Malaysia : Day 2: Ipoh - city tour

Day 2: We went to the MOST original Old Town for coffee and egg tarts...

unfortunately,

it was closed

*sad*

why wor??? why close wor??? today is a Wednesday wor... is it suppose to be closed??

ARGHHHH!!!!!#@$#@!%!!!!

so, we had to settle for the coffee shop opposite Old Town

(yes, thier rival, haha!)

they came out on papers before wor...

don't play play....

This shop was amongst the first few who started breakfast sets...

then it became famous, and other shops followed...

i had set 5 : half bolied eggs on toast ^^
RM 1.40 (single egg/bread)

RM2.80 (double egg/bread)

i personally thought the coffee there that day was too sweet for my taste buds

RM 1.90

hot coffee RM 1.90

creamy, but too sweet for me though...

eggs on toast - delicious!

=================================================================

Ah Bong joined us later and recommended the white coffee in the shop next door: Sin Yoon Loong Coffee Shop

Wow! when i break abstinence, suddenly double dose of coffee pulak...
anyway, i thought the coffee there was thicker than the previous shop... not bad~

but i didn't had Old Town for comparison... :(

i personally like the gu jiong fun (pig intestines shape flour desserts) there...
the layer of flour was really nice and smooth...

===================================================================

After breakfast, we went for a city tour in Ipoh.... According to Lonely Planet and the Guidebook in Tourism Malaysia (Cuti-cuti Malaysia), there are a few MUST visit places in Ipoh...

And one of them was this old Ipoh Train Station~

nicely captured, isn't it? :)

KTM at the back~

the train station, although old, still functioning...

they had renovated at the back for the trains to stop :)

I found this cute Red Postbox there...

hmm.. reminds me of a song~~

and those days which i used to write letters....

haha, i wonder who still have penpals, with the internet and all now...

but i guess, sometimes, its kinda nice,

opening envelopes.. :)

Oh yes, we also found this unique old antique GrandFather Elevator at the train station...

according to the papers, we can hardly find this kinda old fashioned lift nowadays...

it's good that they still preserve and maintained it...

super classic weh, this lift!

this is me, pressing the button to go up...

there was interesting instructions on how to use it...

very cute & funny...

(please click on picture to enlarge and read words)

and YES, it really took A WHOLE MINUTE fot the door to close...

aihh...

i think the elevator is suffering from parkinsons & arthritis,...

guess what? there is this super old fan in the lift!

yes, a fan!!

and they even had a switch to manually switch it on!

this old lift is classsic !

The lift leads to the Station Hotel , which made up part of the trainstation...

Now, during promotions, it only cost RM76 per night!

The interior and deco gives 'a very Bristish feel'... (quote Aland)

relaxing at Station Hotel @ the old Ipoh Railway Station

The view from the hotel~

@ the railway station.... seems like a nice place for tea...

Introducing Ipoh's Nga Choy Kai (bean sprout chicken)

At Restaurant Lou Wong Tauge Ayam KueTiaw, Ipoh Old Town

Fish balls - this biasa aje...


The succulent bean sprout 'nga choy'...

when you bite into it, can feel the juice bursting out...








'choy yun kai' farm chicken....




the texture is more smooth the the ordinary chicken we usually eat.




even the breast and back part is not hard and taste jiucy and tender...







This hor fun i HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

all my life, i had never had such smooth hor fun..
When you take a sip, the noodles smoothly flows into your mouth,
filling your taste buds with sweet chicken hor fun taste...
so good, so smooth, so silky sweet...

Sun Seng Fatt Food Stall a.k.a Tang Kei

Sun Seng Fatt Food Stall a.k.a Tang Kei

(meaning 'wait stall')

and man, seriously have to waaaaaiiiiittttt....

but finally, the food come, worth it juga... quite tasty....

Tai Look Min Noodles

Apparently, the Tai Look Min in Ipoh is not very Tai Look...

about the diameter of the usual Wan Tan Mee

I liked this dish...

Unique Wah Tan Hor Noodles

the gravy is quite tasty

the chef happily taking his own sweet time to cook...

full of 'oi sam', the dish

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Snow Flake Beer

Have you heard of the infamous Snow Flake Beer? The beer glasses will first be freezed. Then semi-frozen cold beer will be pour into those glasses. The foams will form, half solid... giving an ice-cream, snow-flake texture, as they melts in your mouth... certainly, a new experience for me... So, if you are interested, you can find it at Cafe Yuen Wah Restaurant, Ipoh Old Town.
