Chee Cheong Fun. Have you noticed the famous Hong Kong style chee cheong fun there? Before they shifted over here, they used to be in Kampung Simee Market. This is the one with Char Siew, only RM 3.90 per plate. Comes with sambal and light soya sauce, unlike the normal chee cheong fun that comes with mushroom sauce. Inside is where the char siew are, and on top is garnish with sesame and fried onion.

This is the dry curry noodle from the stall. RM5.00 per plate. Comes with taufu pok, char siew, chicken and mint leaves. However, it only taste okay. Not that fantastic.

This is the chicken wine noodle. I've requested for a change of mee sua to yellow noodles. This is what I call delicious. For chicken wine lovers out there, here is your opportunities to try. It is rich in the taste of chicken wine. Comes with black fungus, chicken and spring onion. Only RM5.00 per bowl. You won't be able to resist drinking the soup that is so delicious and rich in ginger taste as well.

Best Wanton Noodles In Ipoh

Have you noticed the Wanton Noodles stall in Menglembu, Ipoh? It is located along Jalan Tranchell Menglembu, 31450 Ipoh, Perak, next to Restaurant Ka Lok. Open during night time. 

Order your wanton noodles before entering the restaurant. Call two plates if you really need to. Especially when you eat a lot because the noodles are seriously small.

 This is how it looks from the inside. Old tables and chairs. Indeed an old restaurant. Who cares whether how the restaurant looks like. We came for the food, not the place. Just make yourself comfortable in order to enjoy your food.

Order your drinks of course. I ordered sugar cane.

Finally, our food arrived. Wanton noodles topped with beansprouts and spring onions. It comes with a bowl of dumplings (wanton) and pickled chili. Mmmm..... If possible, do not drink the soup. It was quite salty. Everything was near perfection except for the soup. This noodles are not salty  unlike other wanton noodles out there that taste like salt. I really enjoy it. RM2.80 each.

Restoran Y Food Box

This is the restaurant that was newly renovated and open for business. It is located along Jalan Canning Estate, 31400 Ipoh Perak next to the tyre shop. It is open from 5.30 pm to 3.00 am in the morning. Incredible working hours. Next time, when you travel to Ipoh and reach here late at night or should I say early in the morning, you know where to look for food besides going to McDonald's 24 hours.

This is how the menu looks like. 

Take a glance at their menu. Teochew Authentic. Mmmm.... 

Seafood Dishes anyone? Do you prefer crabs or prawns? How about both?

Pork Dishes. All dishes comes in tow sizes. Small or medium. If you are trying for the first time, it is advisable to start small. See if it suits your taste bud. Everyone is different. For me, the dishes are delicious.

Beverage. Reasonable prices. From the range of R M0.50 to RM3.00.

Inside the restaurant. It will be very packed during dinner time. I would choose to go a little later as it would be less crowded. A cooling atmosphere with air conditioners.

The setting of each table. All new and white. 

Marble tables and chairs. Wooden floor and white wallpaper walls really makes the restaurant look awesome.

You have to try this. This is not chili. This is pickled garlic and ginger, I guess. It was really lovely especially for garlic lovers out there. You can scoop this by yourself, there will be a small jar containing this on each an every table.

Rice or porridge? It is your own choice. If you rather have porridge, go ahead. It is advisable to take porridge if you are calling those Teochew dishes. Those are kind of mend to go with porridge.

Hot chinese tea. Economical drink.

Fried Fuyong Egg. It was really nice and very thin. I love it. I recommend you to try this.

Fried pork with leak. Mmmm.... My favourite. I love it.

Finally, stir fried green vege with garlic. Nice.

This is their receipt. Not to expensive for four person. Try it out one day when you are in Ipoh. A place to consider to eat good food.
