Famous Char Kway Teow in Ipoh

 Let me introduce you the Restaurant Sin Lean Lee where you can enjoy the famous char kway teow. This restaurant is located along Jalan Panglima, 30000 Ipoh Perak. One of the best char kway teow in town can be found here. Not to mention, they sell other food as well.

This is how the restaurant looks like. Nice and clean. 

It looks like they have toast, custard and herbal jelly (guilinggao) too. Custard RM2.40 each and herbal jelly RM2.20  each.

Yay!! Drinks had finally arrived. Iced coffee and Iced Kopi O'. Love the coffee. Nice and sweet.

Saw the stall at the corner? That is the stall we are looking for. Char Kway Teow awaiting. Order yours and tell whether you would like eggs only or with prawns or maybe some cockles in your noodles. 

 Finally, my char kway teow arrived. Looks delicious isn't it? It is only RM5 for char kway teow with egg and prawns. Look how delicious it looked. Full with beansprouts, prawn, spring onions and egg. Very delicious. Every bit tasted so well. The chili sauce is watery but not bland. Goes perfectly well with the char kway teow. Probably one plate is not enough that you need to order another one since it's quite small.

Now, we moved on to the next stall. This stall serves chee cheong fun, turmeric glutinous rice, and many more. 

The food came quite fast. This is the glutinous rice I've ordered. Actually, I wanted to order the turmeric glutinous rice but it was finished. So, I ended with this. I've never regret ordering this because it taste just as good. Only RM2.80 for the glutinous rice. Contains fried egg, spring onion, and bbq pork (char siew). As usual, glutinous rice always comes in a small amout. So, order a plate of char kway teow and order a plate of glutinous rice, have a glass of coffee, you'll definitely be full.

Aberdeen Cafe & Japanese Fusion

It is now newly refurbished. The old Aberdeen Cafe is now the new Aberdeen Cafe and Japanese Fusion. Since it is newly refurbished, we wanted to try out something new. It was a cooling day, so we decided to sit outside. 

Business hour are from 11am to 11pm. They are open daily except on public holidays and Wednesday. By the side, you can see something that looks like a curtain. That was the inside of the cafe. Separated into rooms. Like a Japanese style I guess because I didn't went in and have a look as it was quite pack.

From the outside, it looks like this. Round and squarish marble tables and plastic chairs and wooden stools. Fans were on high speed so it was cooling after all. We waited and waited for almost fifteen minutes before anyone served us. Quite of a bad service, I supposed. We were told that the cafe was crowded and there were not enough workers. The four of us were only given two menus. They said they were short of menus. Okay, understood!! No worries. 

Later on, we were given the order chit and a pencil. Be sure to write down your food and beverage code properly.

So this is their menu. Located at Jalan Medan Ipoh 3, Bandar Baru Medan, 31400 Ipoh Perak. Their contact number, 605-5468264.

Just a glimpse of their Maki Lunch Special.

A glimpse of their Sushi Bar.

A glimpse of their Special Roll. Of course, this is not all. There are normal Asian food as well. No worries. These are for sushi lovers. Other than all these, they serve nasi lemak, fried noodles and many more.

Our drinks came first. Coffee O' Ice, Coffee Ice and Iced Soya Bean. However, drinks tasted normal.

Next, we move on to the mushroom soup. It comes with two pieces of garlic toast or bread. The bread was nice, you can taste the richness of garlic. Mmmm... Soup was also tasty with a variety of mixed mushrooms. 

Next, we have Nasi lemak with Rendang Tok. Rendang Tok is actually beef rendang. I love it so much. Rendang Tok actually  originated from Perak. The nasi lemak comes with some keropok, a fried egg, sliced cucumber, rendang tok and also some sambal. I really like rendang Tok. So, I'll give this a five star rating if the rendang wasn't that salty. Beware of the sambal, it was really hot and one kind of weird taste that I don't know how to describe. 

Mushroom Chicken Chop Rice. Now we are in the western style. The rice comes with a fried egg. one chicken chop in mushrooom sauce, some french fries and sliced cucumber. Nice. Tasty and taste good. Especially there's french fries, YAY! My favourite.

Now we moved on to the last one, Fish Slice Mee-Hoon Soup. We waited very very long before it was served. After all, worth waiting because it tasted good. Quite different from any other mee-hoon. They used the thick type of noodles and the soup base was sour enough. It was really enjoying if it hasn't arrive that  late. 

Finally, their bill. This is how it looks like. After all, food was okay. I only hated the part that  we need to wait for so long and my tummy was already making noise. I hope service would be better when we return for a second time. 

Nasi Ria Raya at Marrybrown

Hello!!!! Looking for a place to buka puasa? Just the right place, Marrybrown. This Marrybrown is located at Mydin Meru.

 In conjunction with the release of the movie Jurassic World, spend any RM5 at Marrybrown and pay an amount of RM12.90 for the plush pillow, and RM4.90 for the children's watch. There's a new creamy mushroom soup for RM3.60 too.

 All I wanted to introduce you is the Set Ria Raya Combo Keluarga, which means a family combo set for RM39.90. The set consists of 3 MB fried chicken, 3 chicken fillet, 4 MB rice, 1 bowl of curry, 1 bowl of acar, 4 begedil, 2 apple pie and four cups of rose syrup.

*MB means Marrybrown

This is the rose syrup. This set consists of four cups.

 This is the acar. Contains cucumber, carrot, onions, cabbage and either orange or lemon peel. Acts as a great appetizer before starting your meal. Ingredients are well blended. I love it.

 3 pieces of Marrybrown chicken and a bowl of curry. Chicken taste good, overall nice. Next, the curry, its like OMG!!! Actually I would have rate it 5 stars if it wasn't that salty. Less salty would actually give it a five star ranking though. Very rich in lemon grass taste. Awesome!! 

 2 pieces of apple pie. I rate it okay because I don't really like apple pies. Overall, sweet and crispy.

 3 pieces of chicken fillet. Crunchy and nice.

Rice. Four plates of Marrybrown rice. I am a fan of their rice because they boil it with lemon grass. Even eating the plain rice can make me happy. Add some curry to your rice, you don't even need the chicken.

This is the begedil, 4 pieces of them. I'm not sure what they are made of, but taste like potatoes. Its nice and goes well with the curry. 

Reminder that this set is only for a limited period of time during the month of Ramadhan. It is not available all the time. Prices also various from place to place. For example, you can enjoy the exact same meal in Genting Highlands at the price of RM52.00. Head on the Marrybrown and get your set now.

Bazaar Ramadhan

Have you been to the bazaar located at Stadium Indera Mulia. If no, you should pay a visit. There's too much good food there. The aroma of food is super awesome. Reminder, this only opens once a year during the fasting month.

This is how the bazaar looks like. You see all the tents? All are food stalls.

Not only the Malays, but 1 Malaysia. From Malays to Chinese to Indians, all enjoying the food. Don't be surprise there will be tourists from overseas who came to visit after all.

First of all, let me introduce you to the Laksa Kedah. Quite a big crowd at the stall, but it is worth waiting. Only RM2.50 per packet. Cheap isn't it. 

The stall is all prepared to sell their laksa. Oh, it was actually a van, not a stall. 

I bought two packets equivalent to RM5. Dinner......

And this is another stall selling fried stuff and drinks. I'm not sure what kind of drinks are those, but its RM2.00 per bottle. And they sell keropok lekor too. I'm not very sure of the price because I didn't purchase any of them. I think this is the only stall that sells keropok lekor.

Do you still remember Murtabak Zamad? The awesome one located at Ipoh Garden near  Maybank. Seriously no kidding man, it's nice. It comes in three types that is ayam(chicken), daging(beef) and sardin. All of them only cost RM1.00 each.

So this is how the stall looks like. All the freshly fried murtabak ready to be sold. 

Mmmm... Nice and hot and crunchy. Contains onions, chicken (I bought murtabak ayam) and potato.

This stall really has a long queue.You seriously got to wait. Only RM3.00 per kebab. 

It's fresh and hot. Cooked on the spot

Totally clean, he uses gloves.

So it comes in two types which is the ayam (chicken) and daging (beef). Anyone for RM3.00 each.

This is how the kebab looks like. Totally worth buying. Ingredients are well stuffed. 

So, another stall, selling roti jala and roti berendam. RM2.00 per packet.

So, this is the stall. Look at all the food. Awesome isn't it?

Roti jala, comes with curry. Yum Yum... It's those kind of lumpy stuff dipped into the curry. Cheap and nice.

Here we move on to another stall selling ketupat and lemang. I was searching for lemang but none of the stalls sells it except for this stall. Mini ketupat and mini lemang. RM5.00 per packet. Comes with a packet of serunding ayam (chicken floss) and rendang. At the stall, they also sells Rendang tok (beef) which was very delicious. I'm not sure how much but you need to get them.

The mini ketupat and lemang.

This is how the mini ketupat looks like when the leaves are removed. Same goes to the lemang. If I would compare the ketupat and the lemang. I would choose the lemang over the ketupat. The lemang is slightly softer than the ketupat which was quite dense.
