Local coffee places @Ipoh and Gopeng, Malaysia

Posted on 21 May 2022 by lendeliz

Ipoh is famed for its white coffee, so we skipped our usual cafes and went in search of white coffee instead.

Chop Kheng Bee Kopisan Kedai Gemuk 琼美茶餐室

From Kuala Lumpur, we wanted to pop over Kellie’s Castle for a quick look, before heading to Ipoh. But we were hungry! Google search recommended this Hainanese coffee shop. The White Coffee (RM3.40 for iced) was super creamy and thick and really perked us up! The toast was super awesome with a perfect balance of crisp and softness of the bread and the savory butter and sweet kaya.

The hometown Fried Beehoon + Egg and Ham (RM2.80 + RM3.70), and Nasi Lemak (RM4.50) had this very homely vibes to them. We also tried this Sticky Rice with Homemade Kaya (RM2.40), which was something similar to Thai sticky rice with mango.

Thong Shui House @Melaka, Malaysia

Posted on 13 August 2018 by lendeliz

Though the place mentioned Thong Shui, which literally meant “sugar water”, or desserts, we were actually here for the Golden Mee Hoon Kuih 黄金金面粉糕 (RM6.60 for small, RM9 for large, option of dry or soup). I seldom have good experiences with such hand torn noodles, as they tend to have different shapes and thickness, and the soup version is usually quite starchy. I had stopped eating this for years after having a rather bad experience with uncooked noodles -_-”

I gotta say this was a rather pleasing bowl of Mee Hoon Kuih (or Mee Hoon Kueh, as spelt in Singapore)! Firstly, the pumpkin dough gave the noodles a pretty colour, and the hand torn noodles were of similar thickness. The noodles were cooked just right, without being too soggy, or having parts that were uncooked. The accompanying ikan bilis (small fried anchovies) were very crispy, and the meat were tender. The noodles tasted slightly sweet, and after mixing in the sambal chilli, the entire bowl of noodles took on an extra layer of flavours 🙂 We really enjoyed this bowl of lovely Mee Hoon Kuih.

We also tried the signature <strong>Thong Shui Fried Bee Hoon with Rendang Chicken 招牌米粉和仁当鸡 (RM8), which was not bad, but paled in comparison to the noodles.,

San Low Seafood Restaurant 三楼海鲜园 @Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Posted on 18 January 2018 by lendeliz

We had a late dinner because we were really too full from this trip, and also because we waited a while for seats at this place and another 1 hour for the food to be served 😮

Tried the famed San Low Bee Hoon, along with black pepper chicken, beancurd with minced meat, and sweet potato leaves with fermented beancurd (RM75.65 for 4 pax, including drinks). Gotta say the food was really just so-so… 😡

​鸭肉扁 Ya Rou Bian @Taipei

Posted on 29 October 2016 by lendeliz

2016-10-29-22-23-04We had our super late dinner at 鸭肉扁 Ya Rou Bian, a rather established restaurant commonly featured in guide books. Despite having “duck” as the restaurant name, this place actually specializes in goose meat.

The restaurant underwent a facelift and definitely looked much more modern than when we first tried it in 2009.

The prices also unfortunately went for a lift, with noodles or beehoon going for NT$60 per bowl, NT$300 for a goose leg, and NT$1200~1400 (S$54~63) for half a goose.

The beehoon was the 新竹 style finely thin strands which we like, and the soup was quite flavourful. However, the goose meat was quite tough. Kind of sad that prices went up but standards went down…

Putien Restaurant 莆田菜馆 @Kitchener Road

Posted on 28 July 2016 by lendeliz

We discovered our expiring Putien return voucher, and very promptly made reservations at the Kitchener Road branch, haha! Also because it just won itself a 1-Star in the 2016 Michelin Guide Singapore!

Sembawang Traditional Claypot Rice@Sembawang

Posted on 10 July 2016 by lendeliz

2016-07-10 12.38.14So we decided to pop by afterall!

We were actually not really hungry, and thought that it would be difficult to tabao the claypot rice if we could not finish it, hence we had:

  • San Lou Been Hoon 三楼米粉 ($4.80 nett for small): The other item with the largest picture on the wall, the exterior crispy charred bits with the soft bee hoon inside was yummy!
  • Salted Egg Sotong 咸香苏东 ($12.80): The coating was excellent, for it was very fragrant, and not at all sweet! Many times, the salted egg concoction was more sweet than salty, but this was not the case. You could taste and see the salted egg yolk goodness, the real stuff! Unfortunately, the sotong was a tad too overcooked.
  • Qing Long Cai 青龙菜 ($12.80): We liked the homely feel of this dish, and this veggie was a bit like chives, with a bit of crunch.
  • Teh C Kosong ($1.60): Oh my, finally a decent cup from the usual places where I get my usual teh c kosong!

Note: Warm water is available at 20 cents per cup. We could not finish the food and ended up tabao-ing, incurring an additional 50 cents for 2 plastic boxes (not too sure if there would be additional charges if we opted for plastic bags instead). Only cash is accepted here.

阿永小吃店 Ah Yong Eatery @Taipei

Posted on 12 January 2016 by lendeliz

Since we were going to Hoto Cafe later in the day, we figured that we should check out the area near it for lunch. There was only one small eatery nearby, but we figured it should not be too bad as there were consistently customers going in and out of the place.

We tried the 肉丝炒米粉 Beehoon Stir-fried with Sliced Pork (NT70), and a plate of 炒花枝 Stir-fried Squid (NT150). The bee hoon tasted like 新竹米粉, which we like, and the celery with squid had a lovely wok hei to it. This was a simple, homely, and delicious meal 🙂

Leong Ji Seafood 量記海鮮豐食館 @Punggol Settlement

Posted on 19 August 2015 by lendeliz

We have been wanting to check out Punggol Settlement, but unfortunately, it was really out of the way for someone without a car, and our friends did not really express interest in going 😦 So when Mr L suggested a double date, we readily agreed!

It was… REALLY Far!

The views were also sadly disappointing, partly due to the haze, and partly because the sea view was really, erm, just looking at the construction. Aiyah, I had thought that the views were lovely! Luckily the couple didn’t take my suggestion to have some pre-wedding photo shoot earlier this year.. Haha…

Hualong Fishhead Steamboat 華龍鱼頭爐 @AMK

Posted on 17 April 2015 by lendeliz

White beehoon

White beehoon

This is currently the place we go to whenever we have cravings for seafood white beehoon, especially when the queue at Sembawang is really getting far too long.

Located at i Coffee Shop just opposite AMKHub (Blk 347 to be exact), it is fairly easy to get to, and we have always managed to find seats without much hassle.

Hualong Fishhead Steamboat (華龍鱼頭爐) is the zhi char stall, and while we did enjoy the steamboat (which they are famous for), we much preferred the white beehoon! This version is of course, not quite the same as the Sembawang version, however, the $6.50 small version is delicious enough with lots of seafood, like prawns, sotong, and lala, all served on old-school banana leaf!

We needed to have more Thai food! And since we also needed to shop more, we ended up at Yum Saap inside Platinum Fashion Mall.

Yum Saap is a chain restaurant in Bangkok, and there are quite a few branches in the various shopping malls.
