Road Trip to Ipoh and Penang

Off to IPOH, Perak and to Penang food road trip!

The cantonese name for IPOH actually derives from the word Yee Poh meaning found treasure. And the found treasure here is GOOD FOOD! Ipoh is also known for their famous 'White Coffee'. It's a beautiful Saturday morning drive from the big city and only a couple hours away from the infamous dishes that drive many Malaysians drooling. Let's see if it passes the taste test!

1st stop, Restaurant Sun Seng Fatt on Jalan Market. Finding a seat here feels like a challenge on the 'Amazing Race' but that only means one thing, the food must be good,...rite?

Dish 1: Famous Ipoh hor-fun. The dish is simple but it is tasty. However, I've had better broth.

Dish 2: This has got to be one of the BEST steamed chicken I've ever tasted. It's tenderness is close to a good fish fillet and seasoned perfectly.

Dish 3: Ipoh hor fun dry curry. Although is 'kon low' (dry), it's pretty drenched in the rich curry sauce. Tasty!

Dish 4: Dumplings. Generous in portion, farely good.

White Coffee! It's good, strong though but it definately will help on the next 2 hour drive to Penang!

The verdict, worth the drive if you don't mind the journey. Next up, Penang! =) In search for the best Oyster Omelette and Fried Kuey Teow!
