Ipoh Nga Choi Kai at Restaurant Onn Kee @ Ipoh

No Comments
[Repost on this blog with minor amendments and add ons as old picture was all gone]
I was on my way driving back and oh hell, forgot to ask the number of my friend, where she just came back from Melbourne and was at Ipoh. Totally forgot about that. Then dropping by at this Ipoh town where every one been talking about the Ipoh Nga Choi Kai at Restaurant Onn Kee. Came here for the 3rd time but the other stall did not open so try up this stall. No Choice. Either this or that. So it is this.

Trying out at restaurant ‘Ong Kee‘. It was around 6pm and the tables was nearly fully occupied. This shows how good the business are but of course cannot compare with Murni @ SS 2 or Steven’s Corner @ OUG / Jln Genting Klang. They are crazee. Occupied the whole street.

 Not only that. They are quite well known for their chicken feet too.

As some of them order chicken skin with some spare part like chicken gizzard, none of the people on my table eat it besides me. Smooth chicken skin with soy sauce just make it simple and nice to chew.

To be in this town and eat chicken rice, their fatty juicy tauge (bean sprout) is not to be miss, and why is their tauge is thick and juicy. Well, I was being told by my friend that they grow in natural mineral water flowing from moutain. That is why the tauge here is fat, juicy and crunchy.

One of my favourite in this stall is their pork ball and fish ball. Something nice to chew and dip onto their chicken meat sauce.

Find that Onn Kee ‘Ngah Choi Kai’ a.k.a ‘Tauge Ayam’ taste much better than Lou Wong. Simply because of the method that they cook it differently. On my personal opinion i think that the chicken texture here is soft tender and juicy and of course what stood out is their sesame and soy sauce base make them more outstanding. This is because I had lunch on Lou Wong had dinner here. That is how I manage to taste on the difference even though I came here many times.

ippoh (6)

This is the ‘Koay Teow Soup’ that to be eat with the dish. It is either this or rice. Usually all the people that eat here will take Koay Teow but honestly, after you finishing the whole bowl, a little tip. Prepare a bottle of mineral water after that. You will be very thristy with their secret weapon in there. You really need it. That is why with their secret weapon the food will definitely taste nice no matter what. (This was my tip on 2009) 😀

Looking at the way how I blog last time its funny~ kekekeke

This new edit post is a blend of my 2009 writing style and 2012. Spot the difference~ I find that overall, I like Onn Kee more also just realize that I have not blog about Lou Wong before.

Koon Kee Wan Tan Mee @ Damansara Uptown

No Comments

One of the places that Ken wanted to bring me here that not too far from our house is this Restaurant Koon Kee Wan Tan Mee. Many times that I did FFK (in a term of cantonese) and till finally I have decided to tag along this round. It is this wan tan mee stall that only sell wan tan mee in this particular restaurant over the morning till lunch.

Koon Kee (1)

He brought me here on weekend with one of the reason that its limited parking space available around the area and weekend timing is much better. If you do come here on weekdays, you will be like police patrol cars, touring around to get one fine parking spot!

Koon Kee (2)

A simple kopitiam that sell only Wan Tan Mee which is very famous that made its mark to many people that had live near and far to come hunt for this item.

Koon Kee (3)

One of the reason that Ken loves to come here often is because of the quality noodle that they serve and I find it pretty true to. Home made egg noodle (Wan Tan Mee) cost about RM 4.50 if not mistaken. You can choose to have Char Siew version or poach chicken and serve along with a small bowl of wan tan.

Koon Kee (4)

The noodle is just perfect that did not over cook, springy mix with sesame oil and soy sauce with a few slices of char siew top on it is just something perfect to kick start on my beautiful Sunday.

If you are looking for some nice Wan Tan Mee, I think you can opt for this one too . .

Ayer Itam Market Street Food Hunt @ Penang

No Comments

Last round when I back to Penang for Chinese New Year, a few days before the festive season, woke up early and went to one of the busiest market at housing area which is the Ayer Itam Market. The market had been here from many decades ago that start to originate people that stay up in the hill brings down fresh vegetable to sell. From time to time the market had develop till as what it is today.

During festive season, this market is super packed with people to do their last minute shopping and it is advisable to park your car a bit far as very limited parking space available, with its narrow street just enough for 2 cars to passby.

Ti Kuih is one of the item that must buy during Chinese New Year. After a short stroll, we head to a nearby kopitiam for breakfast.

Kedai Kopi Kapin is one a famous kopitiam around the neighbourhood  . . . One of the hawker stalls to look after is the Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee) which have people lining up for it.

As we order too many food for 3 of us then we just order only just Wan Tan to try out and the skin is very soft just that the sesame oil is abit strong.

 Penang Curry mee is always one of my favourite, cuz they have ‘Pig Blood’ and the chili is their own homemade style that makes every one is different in taste.  RM3

 ‘Pork Noodle’ as I always prefer my version in Koey Teow with Mee and this are cook instant. The soup taste is okay only, as I prefer my soup base to be a bit thick in flavour and a bit more of pork lard. RM3

This is the signature of the shop ‘Prawn Mee’ with some of us like to add a bit of ‘Loh’ which is the soup base for ‘Loh Mee’ that makes it a kind of Prawn Mee (ying yong style) which is most of the people are ordering. The loh is a bit thick and the prawn mee soup base is sweet, that ‘pai kuat’ taste is in there, shows that used alot of pork bone. RM 2.80

Then we walk to a street next to it and I found something more interesting which is this whole street sell Curry Mee with at least around 3-4 stalls selling the same thing. Ken told me that every stall have their own style of chili and soup base which makes them have their very own customer base.

 We sit to this stall and I was very curious, this ‘Chee Cheong Fun’ stall is very busy and non stop customer coming in and I decided to give it a try. The chee cheong fun is very good, very soft ‘fun’ that mix with thick texture of shirmp paste ‘Heh Kor’ and their very own homemade chili and fried onions. RM1.50 

 Then I stroll around among other stalls and this stall which is family operated and this 2 ah ma working so hard preparing in a very traditional by using charcoal, and people keep pouring in to buy. I also give it a try.

 As what I said, every stall is packed and have their own style, and this ah ma different is the squid and the sauce of it.

 Mild sweet soup base add with their own homemade chili with squid makes this bowl of curry mee quite unique in taste. A bit spicy yet sweet and I quite like the soup base. Bought a packet for my parents and they don like it. I guess it depends on individual taste. A good try . . . 

This is located along the entrace of a Chinese School.

Introducing Truffle Xiao Long Bao @ Din Dai Fung

No Comments

Let me tell you, it is crazy to see the crowd to be outside a shop even before its opening hours. This is the first time I saw it happen when the restaurant open for business, already seated with around 8 tables in it. At this restaurant Din Dai Fung, that served Taiwanese Food which is one of a famous Franchise that know for its quality and authentic food being served.

With their overwhelming response from locals since their opening a few years ago, now they have done a little facelift to the restaurant and re-open its door to public again with some unique range of Xiau Long Bao to be introduced.

Japanese cucumber @ RM3.80, pickled with garlic, red chilli, chilli oil and sesame oil which is crispy in texture and mild in taste, definately a good appetizer to start along with.

 House Special Appetizer (Xiao Cai) @ RM3.80 – spicy vermicelli noodles mixed with seaweed, bean sprout, dry beancurd, sesame oil and chilli oil

Introducing new to the family, Golden Pumpkin with Salted Egg @ RM3.80, being fried crispy on the outside layer, coated with salted egg on the edge and skin makes it perfect dish to go along with rice.

Shanghainese Drunken Chicken @ RM12.80 a newly modified with add on flavours which now use 2 wine to marinate on it for more than 2 days using Kampung chicken. It is served cold and it is really appetizing, and the chicken meat is a bit chewy yet soak with aromatic wine taste. – Recommended

My favourite of the day for appetizer is Stewed Beancurd with Honey Sauce (Kaofu) @ RM7.00. High quality bean curd being imported from Shanghai and made of high protein wheatflour. The process of making this surely a complicated process but the flavour of it is excellent. First bite of the beancurd taste like bread soak in water but the more I chew the more I like it. A bit sweet, salty yet its deep fried you definately don feel it!

Restaurant Fei Por @ Jalan Pudu

No Comments
It was already quite late, and my friend came find met yet I was quite full that time. Then I kena drag out and eat around 12.30 am, then she brought me to this area to makan which is I am kinda surprise that, I always thought of the porridge always open on the opposite but never knew that, there is actually a Chicken Rice Shop, Restaurant Fei Por opened till quite late.

Now, manage to find a place to makan after drinking session.

RM22 (16)

RM22

Then I requested to seat in front cuz can see how the way he potong the chicken and a bright spot too for easy for picture taking.

RM22 (7)

The chili and garlic I find it quite nice.

RM22 (4)

Start off with white porridege which is a bit tateless but if you add on with garlic sesame oil it would be perfect as it is a bit in taste has the same structure as porridge.

RM22 (8)

Then comes the ‘Char Siew’ with the oily shinning gravy been shower upon, it surely ooks very good. A type which i prefer 7-% meats and 30% fats just that if the edge of the crust not that burn, it would taste good.

RM22 (11)

It looks juicy and tender but there is nothing to boast about except the crust of it.

RM22 (15)

I am not a big fan of chicken lover but my friend she mention she want to eat it, so order loh as for me, I can take only one piece cuz I find it a bit geli. The chicken meat is a bit overcook which make it a bit solid yet the soy sauce gravy pour to enhance the taste..

Total that we paid was around RM22 which I find it quite reasonable.. The best part is you went during you were sober or a bit drunk, this place is totally not recommended as the will take a big blade potong you kau kauz.!!!
