Bean Sprout Chicken for Dinner

The Ipoh bean sprouts looked thicker and shorter than I have ever had elsewhere. It is said that this iconic product, also known as taugeh, is grown using water from limestone hills.
In addition to the bean sprout chicken with rice, every table also appeared to have ordered flat rice noodles aka sar har fun (沙河粉) and meat balls, both of which were served in bowl of clear soup and garnished with spring onions. We tried a bowl of each of them. If my tummy were not that full, I would definitely order more!

Locating Lou Wong was fairly easy especially during evening. On the junctions of Yau Tet Shin Street and Osbourne Street, Lou Wong’s big neon signs.

Indian Food @ Sri Ananda Bahwan, Old Town, Ipoh, Malaysia

Kothu Paratha (or Kothu Parotha) is a South Indian delight made up of stir-fried ‘roti canai’ or paratha bread (Indian flatbread grilled with plentiful of ghee oil) beaten/mashed with two very interesting apparatus in both hands of the cook (like how you would mash boiled potatoes, but with considerably more strength and speed). Usually, green chillies, eggs, onions, tomatoes and a special sweetish-spicy sauce would be added to reach that moist consistency

A Nice Cup of Ipoh Original Coffee

Trying all the foods without a cup of Ipoh White Coffee is totally unforgivable. Ipoh White Coffee is so famous in Malaysia and even China and Australia. Travelers visiting Ipoh must either go to Sun Yuan Loong or Nam Heong (the original shop of the famous Old Town White Coffee food chain) to taste the original Ipoh white coffee.
