Ipoh's Famous Beef Ball Noodles

It has been a while since my last posting as I have been rather tied up. I should get myself back to posting on my blog again.
This time, I decided to head to Restoran Seri Maju which is a coffeeshop in Ipoh facing the old Yau Tet Shin market (now an open-air carpark as the building had been torn down many years ago.) This restaurant serves delicious beef ball noodles aka ngow yoke yuen and beef tripe soup or as we call it ngow lam soup. It opens for business from 6.00pm and thats when the crowd starts packing in. I was lucky to find us an empty table that night and I must say the service was really fast as they immediately took our order and a few minutes later, everything was served to us.
Dry noodles
Beef tripe (Ngow Lam) and liew
Famous sar kot liew

I like this place because it has a variety of 'Liew' and my favourite is the Sar Kot Liew besides the Yong Liew such as yong tow foo. My order of noodles was the dry version (Kon Low) which had a topping of deep fried lard (chee yow char) and a bowl of mixed liew. The garlic chili sauce is a must when eating here. It is capped in bottles and placed on every table so its a help yourself kind of thing.
The next time you're headed to Ipoh, put this place on your 'must try' list and you won't regret it.

This shop is full every night and the fried sar kot liew is the first to be sold out.
