Menglembu Wantan Mee; staying true to its roots, the egg noodles here promises a bounce (more like a crunch) without any lingering curse of alkaline taste, nor soggy over-cooked noodles gingerly decorated with generic red-dyed char siew. In short, this was delicious. After the umpteenth posts...
A ray of sunlight falling on the peeled pomelo; a fruit indigenous to Asia and here in our country; the small town of Tambun in Ipoh steals the limelight for mass cultivation of the citrus fruit. The pomelo (Citrus maxima or Citrus grandis) is a crisp citrus fruit native to South and Southeast Asia.
Salted Egg Lotus Root (RM8/USD2.70) Coated with a batter thats rich with salted egg yolk, and curry leaves for that distinct, aromatic touch; the plate of humble lotus root (ling ngau) was transformed into something decadent worth ordering again and again . Remember Steamhouse in...
. That could still be shying away from the radar of curious food hunters; especially the rampaging kind (read : hungry tourists lining up for tau fu fah and dim sum every weekend). And truth be told, deep inside, I really wish for hawker stalls that line the battered/littered streets,...
The tangy, tomato-based gravy graciously slathered upon the piece of meat (chicken, pork, beef or fish) prior coated with an egg batter and then deep-fried, topped with boiled peas and onions, with a compulsory side of pan-fried cubed potatoes. This is the epitome of one traditional Hainanese chop.
What could be better described as a bundle of sins loaded into several bowls; the Ipoh famous Ma Ta Liu (police station; referring to the one on Hugh Low Street) curry mee possesses an unprecedented legacy and undeniable charm over their fans since more than half a century ago The last...
Wondering whats Travel Blitz? Read the first 3 chapters and find out then. Trust me, even if youre a staunch detractor of travelling to local destinations, there has to be at least ONE small town somewhere out there that will entice you with its charm. A Hainanese-style Chicken Chop @ The...
Nasi Lemak CT Garden A tray loaded with goodies? Nasi lemak, otak-otak, rendang daging, ayam goreng, sambal tempe and more. Its always fascinating to bump into places hidden within the nooks and crannies of the metropolitan that is Kuala Lumpur. Especially when you least expect a wondrous...
Stir-Fried Caramelized Roasted Pork with Spring Onion and Garlic (RM15/USD5) - A sinful clash of savoury and sweet flavours Its always a blessing to be around fellow foodies. Or like-minded hungry souls from my hometown of Ipoh/Perak. Not too long ago, I got this elaborate e-mail from a reader on...
Satay Dataran - An unmistakably Malaysian delight of marinated chicken and lamb skewered and grilled over charcoal fire, served with raw onions, cucumber and ketupat (boiled packed rice dumplings), and a slurry of thick, spicy peanut sauce (RM1.00 for chicken, RM1.20 for lamb) A decade ago,...
Lifes a freaking carnival @ AEON Station 18, Pasir Puteh, Ipoh; the new and easily largest shopping mall in all of Perak. (And no, the Golden Retriever does not come with the experience) A few posts back, I was actually very keen to explore this brand new shopping mall in Ipoh; a new Jusco (now [...]
Nasi Kerabu, Ayam Percik & Gulai Kawah @ Yati Ayam Percik, Kota Bharu, Kelantan You know when you’re knee deep in scheduled plus some random out-of-the-blue travelling stints, your mind tends to sway towards a grim shade of blue with sadistic undertone. In short, you’d wish that you’re...
The Johor Famous Three-Storey (San Low) Fragrant Fried Beehoon @ San Low Seafood Seriously, tell me that Johor Bahru (JB, for short … and no, this post’s nothing to do with Bieber) is famous for a dish this simple; a plate of fried beehoon (thin strands of rice vermicelli noodles), and I would...
*Travel Blitz will be a new series of posts on Motormouth From Ipoh; highlighting interesting food and travel bits from all over Malaysia. This coincides with the surge of travelling lately, and serves as a platform to channel Motormouth’s scattered thoughts and ramblings. #1 – This shot was...
Mix Appetizer M.S (Malika Saba) (RM25/USD8) – A platter of various appetizers to start off with, in case you’re intimidated by the awkward names like I was. I could only identified hummus and tabbouleh from my limited vocab/experience with Middle East fares. Now, Malika Saba arrived on the scene...
Salted Egg Bitter Gourd (RM10/USD3.30) – Deep-fried to perfection, coated with a delectable batter of salted egg and lightly spiced up with finely-chopped red chillies. I don’t know which part of the title attracted you most. The fact that there IS one Sungai Wang in Ipoh (albeit this is not a...
Fat. Crunchy. Juicy. Sweet. Pride of Ipoh; and what a humble sprout! I tell you, there really is a HUGE difference between life in Ipoh, and life in KL. A jarring one, smacking one in the face almost immediately upon arrival in this metropolitan crawling with landlubbers perpetually stuck in the rat race,...
“What can you do when the blistering hot weather’s out against you?” 1. Try a bowl of refreshing Malaysian dessert; Ais Kacang (ABC, or Ais Batu Campur), laced with red syrup and evaporated milk, then topped with kidney beans, crunchy peanuts, sweet corn, cendol, grass jelly and ‘sek...
Blissful – To be breathing in the crisp morning air of beautiful Ipoh once again. Although yeah, Ipoh’s far from the days of being a painting of one exceptionally serene old town now, yet the old saying’s true; “There’s no place like home” This dim sum restaurant in...
The Aussie Burger (275 baht for Regular, 340 baht for Large) – Beetroot, Grilled Pineapple, Crispy Bacon, Cheddar Cheese & Fried Egg with Vegemite Mayo. And so, in the last post, there was a glimpse of a Pork Samurai Burger from McDonald’s in Bangkok that we could not help but savour again...
