After the very filling dim sum breakfast, PeiSee brough us to the historical centre of Ipoh, mainly the Railway station and Dewan Bandaraya, both with classical European architecture:
We saw an awful lot of Old Town White Coffee outlets in Ipoh and also the endless signboards promoting them...
But this shop, Nam Heong, is the original Old Town White Coffee! A very small shop, packed with people. PS said she felt that the coffee there was a bit erratic in taste, sometimes over-burnt. We didn't try it anyway, because....
... our main objective is just across the road: Sin Yoon Loong- the original original maker of white coffee! (The shop beside, Sun Yuan Foong, is the relative).
Ahhh.... all for this one cup of coffee... it tastes superb, totally different than the 3-in-1 stuff on the market. Satisfied... hahaha
Then, she brought us to this shop called Funny Mountain, which isn't really clear from the picture above, because it was taken in her car; it's like a drive-thru thing. The workers will go to each car and ask for your orders. Here, we tastes possibly the best taufufah ever!!! It's so soft and the texture is perfectly smooth... it was so good, we tah pau a few pack back to Penang....hehehe...
And for tea/lunch, she brought us to a Yong taufu shop near her house. Another wicked awesome meal... the YTF is so big and filled with fish paste... and of coz, it's served with noodles and the unforgettable Ipoh beansprouts; thick and crunchy!! haha
Going fast, but they refill it fast as well
Good, filling and cheap... what more can you ask for? :P
We skipped the other famous Ipoh dish, the Beansprout chicken, mainly because there's a lot of bad comments about it... she said there are some nice, non-commercialized ones, but only open at night. Ok, maybe next time!
