Dry Curry Noodle @ Kedai Kopi Woh Heng, Ipoh

The common thing to do when a restaurant is packed, you will go to the next restaurant. Since we couldn't eat at Foh San for dim sum, we proceed to a restaurant opposite Foh San, Kedai Kopi Woh Heng. We also met a tour guide outside of Foh San, who recommend us the dry curry noodle at Kedai Kopi Woh Heng.



Conveniently, we went to Kedai Kopi Woh Heng located just opposite of the road of Foh San.



We ordered the dry curry noodle as recommended by the tour guide. The noodle came late and the servings were inconsistent. One bowl came with mint leaves while one came without. Another one bowl missed the entire dry curry paste. Moreover, the dry curry noodle was ordinary. Nothing to shout about. We were a bit disappointed.



However, the white coffee was good. I guess that was the consolation we had. Thick and rich in flavour, the white coffee was the best thing we had for the morning trip to Ipoh.

Packed @ Restoran Foh San, Ipoh

Restoran Foh San is a very popular dim sum restaurant in Ipoh. Trust me the initial plan was to go there at 6.30 am. However, me and Rachel overslept and Steph called me at 6 am and we were like shit! We were still sleeping! It never intentional to be late, trust me on that!


We reached Ipoh around 9 am and we started to look for the restaurant without any maps or address. By 9.30 am we reached the restaurant by asking around and a friendly motorist who guided us there.

When we reached there we got a rude shock!



It was packed! Sandwiched until outside!



Basically there's someone standing at every table waiting for their turn. Estimated time to get a seat, say at least 1 1/2 hour?

We gave up! No Foh San dim sum this time around. But one thing for sure, I'll be BACK!

Maybe better luck next time....

Famous Chicken Kuey Teow and Beansprout @ Restaurant Lou Wong Ayam Kuetiau, Ipoh

For very unusual reason, I seldom come to Ipoh. Not more than 10 times in my life. It's just 2 hours drive from KL (Kuala Lumpur). Since I was in Ipoh last Saturday, I took my time to scout for the infamous chicken kuey teow and beansprout in Ipoh.

According to my working mates, this place is very popular. Mainly because of its presence since 1957! It has been operating for more than 50 years! That's a long time for a restaurant.

Located a few turns from the Ipoh police station, asking around for Lou Wong would not be hard task.

We were there around 2pm and the crowd was still around. The place was packed. Looking around the place got me spotted a huge signs says " The most famous in town".


We ordered some fish and pork meat balls for starters.


Then, came the infamous beansprouts. Sources told me that, this beansprouts are grown using "hilltop fresh water". Indeed, its not like the ordinary beansprouts I had before, it was fresh and tasty. The crunchiness of each bite was there. Lovely!

The chicken was next. Well, to me its decent. Blends well with the soy sauce and chili.


Kuey Teow was good as well. Probably because of the soup.

The service was excellent and we paid for less than RM 10 per pax. That's very reasonable to me. The beansprouts were excellent, the rest was good.

I don't mind coming back again.
