Joo Siah Bak Kut Teh

The famous food chanel recommended this Bak Kut Teh and I make a trip down to try today. Well, the peppery soup isn't too heavy and you can refill. 

Don't feel disappointing when The signature long pork ribs is sold out, as the normal pork ribs is fresh and chewy to satisfy your stomach too.  

Must eat : Pork Rib Soup

Pork leg and the tao kee is normal. I prefer softer pork leg. 

Mee sua not bad. 

It's quite crowded and long queue, but it worth. And most of the tables also eat the Bak Kut Teh.

Restaurant Rasa Sayang ~ Hai Nan Chicken Rice ~

Restaurant Rasa Sayang is a long established restaurant that specifically sell "Hannanese" chicken rice in the town of Ipoh. The restaurant is a combination of two shop lots and there is only one stall, the chicken rice stall. 

Besides roast chicken and cooked chicken there are also some complementary Hainanese dishes available.

The mouth-watering chicken meat is chopped and sliced into pieces and is served with a plate of aromatic oil rice that composes the aroma of ginger and some seasoning. 

The free soup has a very strong taste and smell of chicken. I dare to say that this bowl of chicken soup is cooked with "real chicken", the taste just differs from the ordinary chicken rice stalls where their soup is cooked with some almost identical seasoning that one can buys in grocery store.

This is a very important essence of this delicious chicken rice, the blended Ginger and perhaps with some garlic too (not sure). You are seriously advised to put this in your saucer. 

Mix up the blended ginger and identical chicken rice chili sauce and add some soy sauce, it's just simply a good match to the chicken rice. 

The Hainnanese Chicken Rice

It's not just roast chicken, it's a fusion of roast and cooked chicken, they call it "Yin Yeong Kei Fan"

Kuey Teow Soup @ Sri Nibong Cafe

2. Kuey Teow Soup @ Sri Nibong Cafe

Sri Nibong Cafe is located somewhere near the junction of Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and Jalan Bukit Kecil 1. There are plenty of food stalls that sell delicious food, and the Kuey Teow Soup is undoubtedly the best there. I can say that this is the best Kuey Teow Noodle Soup I have ever tried. The best part of is the taste of the soup which has a strong sweetness of the meat, minced pork. I believe that the boss cooks the soup with a good amount of meat, that's why the soup is so abundant of pork fragrance. I personally like to ask for extra minced meat. Besides, the boss isn't stingy at all in putting the ingredients. There is so much minced pork, fish ball, half boiled egg served with. This is what makes their noodle taste so delicious.

I went there quite a few times with my USM friends. We like it so much. Since it is so famous and delicious, and thus, you can expect to wait for at least half an hour every time additionally the boss actually cooks it bowl by bowl. Despite the long wait, it doesn't discourage us from visiting the cafe.

The bunch of friends who are here with me so often. The table is still empty as it is really need to wait a long Q.

Besides, there is also a toast stall that sells a variety sets of different toast bread. All of them are nice.

Recommendation : luncheon meat burger. 

The burger is served with luncheon meat, egg and cheese. It has a  heavy scent of cheese and the meat that allures us to keep eating it, simply awesome.

Toh Soon Cafe 多春茶座

This is a simple yet full of traditional atmosphere coffee shop is located in a back lane in Campbell Street, George Town. They serve the classic "Nan Yang Breakfast" like toast (Roti Bakar with kaya and butter), Half- Boiled Egg, Coffee, Nasi Lemak, Curry Puff and so forth.

I have been there for few times, I felt it was just a normal coffee shop. While, I visited again yesterday with my boyfriend. And that was the very first time I felt that their toast and coffee were so nice. Seriously delicious. It is absolutely worthwhile to try. And this is a favorite cafe to many of my friends too.

Some shooting while waiting for the food.

1. Here the foods....

The Toast

1.The Toast, it is baked in a traditional way - with charcoal. The taste of charcoal baked toast is totally 
different from the one from oven, it is crunchier and smell greater. In addition, the combination of aromatic Kaya and Butter is always the best match to "Roti Bakar". 

The Coffee

ii) Cup of Coffee - It was too sweet for me. While it was just fine when I dunked in the toast and the " "sweetness" was just perfectly diluted.

Dip the toast in the Coffee

The half boiled egg
iii) The half boiled Egg - this is also another classic "Nan Yang style Breakfast" that I couldn't miss, adding some soy sauce and some peppers are must.

A complete set of "Nan Yang Style Breakfast" that customers normally dine here.

Another dish.
Normally they put few packs of Nasi Lemak on the table. You can take it yourself when you would like one.
The Nasi Lemak looks spicy where you can see all the Chili when first unwrap it. But, it is not too spicy. The Ikan Bilis are too salty for me, but the chili is quite nice. And I like the strong Pandan aroma on the rice.

Lastly I want to show how I usually eat the toast. Dip it inside the half boiled egg. Some may feel it is disgusting, but please believe me, it is just a perfect match. You can savor the whole essence of "Nan Yang Style Breakfast" in one time.
  

The perfect match

There are photos displayed on the wall showed the visitation of Pg Chief Minister before. 
The first time I was here the service of the staffs were very rude. They were not friendly at all. I told myself I would not pay a visit again, who knew I came again.

However, after trying for a few times (well, was forced to, as my friends urged me to bring them there), I felt the attitude of the staffs becoming better. Maybe because of the service change and I felt the dishes are getting nicer as well. 

The cafe is always crowded and most of the time we need to stand beside and wait for a vacant table.

It is quite hard to find parking here, if you’re driving, try to turn into Lorong Kampung Malabar (next to Campbell Street). It is easier to find parking over here and you just need to walk for less than 100m.

This restaurant is renowned for its traditional Chinese food
I can say that there are no fancy, but definitely traditionally delicious food
Dining here is akin to savouring my granny's cooking in my hometown
Probably because I have been eating too much of fast food and other stuff in the city
I will start to miss my home town cooking
Something these kinds of simple yet with "home town" taste whets my appetite better these days

The restaurant locates in Transfer road, just google map "Transfer road" 

An old shop

Simple yet neat, nothing fancy

 Check out some food that we ordered

Belacan Fried Chicken, the aroma is as good as other Balacan Fried Chicken, but the texture of the meat is better

This is the best, it really reminded of my mum cooking,  Steamed pork with salted fish

Kang Kung, it is always my favorite, take a spoon of rice with the sauce and kang kung, simply nice

A Menu for your reference

Another side of the Menu, the last one is "sweet and sour pork"

I heard that, the Curry fish or fish head and Sambal prawn are best, But we were not in good condition to take spicy food that night.
Should try them in the next time.
