Bamboo Corner Cafe

It's quite popular for UTAR Kampar students who stay at Eastgate of the UTAR campus and those who want to drop by for breakfast and lunch which is not far from the campus.
It's situated next to Jalan Perdana at Taman Kampar Perdana, Ipoh, Perak.
(click on the map for clearer view)

Every morning, if I have no time, I'll have my breakfast at this restaurant. There are variety of meals from morning till night such as chicken rice, economy rice (rice with dishes on your choices), mee and drinks.
This is an example of glutinous rice with stir-fried mee and with additional fu pei (Fishcakes wrap by sheets of soya beans).
Milk tea is always my favourite but this cafe make kinda very sweet hot drinks. Therefore, you might want to ask for less sugar whenever you order hot beverages.

A bientot!

Steam Bao

When I was after my STPM, I helped my mom at pasar malam (night market) despite she have troubles handling a lots of customers on Friday at First Garden, Ipoh, Perak.
So, there's a new stall which sell steam baos.
You may wondering why it's so small and covered with chilli sauce...
Actually, it's not really a steam bao. It is called "水蒸包".
The lady boss which is from China said the bao is cooked on a pan.

First, the pan is covered with oil. Then, the baos are put on the pan and pour a bit of water after that. Cover the pan for a few minutes and voila! Hot, piping steam-fried bao! :B

Secret? The oil beneath the bao will ensure the bao won't stick to the pan. While the additional water will steam the rest of it.
Taste? You will get some kind of fry bao but it's like ordinary bao.

It's sold 90 sen each and there's chicken and pork bao. Non-halal. You can find it at a few pasar malam in Ipoh only but recommend you pay a visit on Friday's pasar malam at First Garden, Ipoh, Perak.

Restoran Kaki Bukit

I stay near to hills? Name?
Kledang hills...
Actually, it's the backbone of Ipoh, Perak state where this hills form a line of mountain (banjaran in Malay) which seperate northern and southern part of Perak.
Malaysian backbone mountain, Banjaran Titiwangsa which stretch along from Perak, Pahang and Johor is situated in the southern part of Perak.
It makes Perak is just like Kathmandu in Nepal, city between two hills!


It's a fine morning today and I love to have my breakfast in this restaurant!


Restoran Kaki Bukit.
For Malaysian, it's just a regular food stall with the outside view but inside the restaurant, your mouth will drop...
Later, I blog about it in my personal blog~

My mum loves to eat this meal...

Wantan Mee with Braised Duck.
The taste is great. Not to salty but yet the aroma of braised duck with soy sauce and ginger make the dish wonderful

Price + Food = 4.8 stars

For me, I will have a cup of hot drink...


One of my favourites! Milk tea...
Usually, they use small, white cup but I preferred to have in larger portion.
Their teas and coffees suit my taste!

Price + Drink = 5.0 stars

Actually, today I missed their Nasi Lemak. This meal is a hot cake in this restaurant and if you go for it, advisable is not more than 11 a.m.!
Instead, I choose another favourite meal of mine...


Pou Chai Min.
I don't know how to write it in Chinese and translate it into English...
It's like a fried noodle which is re-cook with soup with egg, vegetables, meatballs, and some pork intestines and liver...
Quite nice...

Price + Food = 4.8 stars

Because I missed my Nasi Lemak, I make an addition...


Curry chicken...
Quite spicy but sadly, they didn't put curry leaves on it...
The taste is okey and descent to my mouth.

Price + Food = 4.5 stars

Because it's nearby to my house and quite cheap, I love to have my breakfast in this shop!

Yan Woh Tong Herbal Jeli Restaurant

I've been to Ikano Power Centre to pay a visit and spend my penny on Ikea at Damansara, KL.
I wandered around the mall to find something nice and special to eat...
Something caught my attention...
Dessert:- Guai Lin Gou (龜苓膏)~

What is Guai Lin Gou?
It's a kind of medicinal dessert which is made of herbs and turtle shell.
Yes... It contains the essence from turtle shell!
Some of people dislike this dessert but I like it because it's nice and tasty.
Guai Lin Gou can lower body temperature and provides other nutritional elements.


Here's the stall located at the lower ground floor of Ikano Power Centre (nearby A&W Fast Food Restaurant).


Tempting menus especially my favourite "Guai Lin Gao"...


Menu with introduction of the dessert. *I can't read mandarin though*


I wonder there's more type of Guai Lin Gou. Might go to toilet if the combination wrong in my stomach... So, I decided to taste the "Herbal Jelly Original". Costly but try first then say later~


It came with small pot of sugar syrup, a bowl of Guai Lin Gou and an empty bowl...


Uuu~ My mouth was watering and pumped with saliva...
My little brother and my mum decided to see other than the dessert...
Tempting chicken drumstick.


Stew Cooked Chicken Whole Leg


Yep! Luckily they give us a bowl of rice...
The chicken is stewed nicely with Chinese herbs and soy sauce.
The egg and toufu is okey...
Price + Taste = 3 stars

My mum decided to take something else than rice...


Clay Pot Herbal Chicken Whole Leg Mee Suah


The mee suah looks nice...
The soup is just like ordinary soup though but the chicken is the same as the previous menu...

Price + Taste = 3.5 stars

In the end, the shop is kinda nice and this is my first time to find such stall which has Guai Lin Gou where Hong Kong has more stalls of these dessert.
