Good Old Ipoh Food
My parents were in KL over the weekend last week. As usual, each time they make a trip to KL, I will pass a request list of Ipoh food to my parents for them to bring along to KL. These are some of the good ol’ Ipoh grub that I have been eating for over 3 decades and I miss them even more ever since I moved to KL 19 years ago. I would love to have some Ipoh dim sum too and the JJ swiss rolls that many bloggers have been raving about but my dad was busy with work and could not go round Ipoh to shop for the items on my list. The next time they make a trip to KL, I’ll make sure my dad gets me some Ipoh dim sum and the JJ swiss rolls.
Anyway, I think what my dad bought last week was more than enough for all of us. Here you go, a dining table placed with food to the brim…

Curry mee from Yat Yat Seng coffee shop in Ipoh Garden…

One of the tastiest hum yoke choong and red bean filled kan sui choong I’ve ever tasted. The choongs are bursting with ‘liu‘.

Yam cakes from Kg. Simee market…
Vegetarian fried goose from a vegetarian restaurant in Ipoh New Town…

Cee Cheong Fun from Kg. Simee Market…

Indian fried chicken from Kg. Simee market…

Famous egg tarts and kaya puffs from Kg. Simee market…

Hakka chau liu from Kg. Simee market…

Bouncy Hakka fish balls from Kg Simee market…

Hakka yong tau foo from Kg. Simee market…

And there were also pomelos, the famous Ipoh yim kook kai (salt baked chicken), 2 raw woo sow kai (which literally means chicken with beard, where the meat tastes better and firmer) and my mum and dad’s homemade pandan kaya, caramel kaya, stawberry jam, pineapple jam and peanut butter.
Are you drooling at the food now
?
