Previously, I’d mentioned about this Gerai Pak Soh 2. It is located about a kilometer from the Swiss-Garden Resort. It is popular for its sata (fish paste with grated coconut, chili and herbs wrapped in coconut leaf and grilled), otak-otak (fish paste wrapped in coconut leaf and grilled) and the chewy keropok lekor (fish paste […]

My destination was Village Park Restaurant on Jalan SS21/37 - well known for its nasi lemak, mee siam and a host of local delights. […]

Before we said sayonara to Ipoh, there’s one more stop. And it’s Kedai Kopi Kong Heng. Yes, that’s the place for pork satay. Chunky lean meat grilled over charcoal fire, at RM0.60 per stick. The peanut sauce could be better; simply didn’t have the oomph.
The popiah was also a favourite among the diners. These […]

Ipoh is well-known for its salt-baked herbal chicken. It seems that Aun Kheng Lim, located in Jalan Theater (on the opposite end of McDonald’s), is the ‘pioneer’.

Ipoh is, of course, famous for its gastronomic delights. Heading the list is Sar Hor Fun. A trip to this City of Bougainvillea is not complete without eating this noodle fare. Arriving in Ipoh at 11am we headed straight for Jalan Bijeh Timah, where ‘old brand name’ restaurants like Kedai Makanan Nam Heong, Kedai Kopi […]

During a recent weekend, the family went to Mid Valley Megamall and was looking for a place to dine when we spotted Amuleto by Crystal Jade. Decided to give the place a go. But sad to say, our experience (and that of a number of other diners too) that evening was, to say the least, […]
