Beef Ball Noodles in Ipoh

On my recent trip back to Ipoh, I made it a point to have Beef Ball Noodles.We went to my favourite place in Taman Rishah Indah, Falim but unfortunately, they were closed. Feeling disappointed,  we decided to head over to the city centre to another shop that serves Beef Ball Noodles just opposite the former Yau Tet Shin market (Pat Kok Low) as the Chinese call it. The shop is at the Perak Toong Onn Wooi Koon.
We arrived at around 11am and the shop was half filled with customers which was fine by us instead of the huge crowd that go there for dinner. I was told that there are two families that operate here, one for the morning shift while the other is for the night shift. Both families are from the famous Buntong Beef Ball Noodle outlet.

Beef balls called Tai Yuen.

Beef Tendons soup. I would have prefered
it if the meat was more tender.

Noodles with minced meat and chicken feet.

A bowl of beef tendons and my favourite
fried Sar Kot liew.

A closer look at the sar kot liew.  It was really
awesome compared to those sold in other places
in Ipoh.

An assortment of fried goodies. I particularly like the ones on bottom right. It has sar kot and chives.








We were very happy with our meal and even bought some sar kot liew and the ones with chives to take back. (tar pau).  I will definitely come to this place when I make my next trip to Ipoh.

New Hollywood Restaurant

New Hollywood Restaurant is a halal restaurant in Canning Garden, Ipoh. I used to meet up with friends for breakfast when I was still living in Ipoh. Having lived in Kuala Lumpur for the past few years, and also due to work commitments, I hardly made any visit to Ipoh. My usual trips to Ipoh were short and I did not have much time to visit my favourite haunts such as New Hollywood Restaurant.
I did make a visit to Ipoh a few days back and this time, I made it a point to drop by at this restaurant for breakfast. It is a Chinese coffeeshop but everything here is Halal and majority of the customers are Malays or Muslims who go there to savour the Chinese food.

There is also a Mamak stall selling Roti Canai and Mee Goreng at the front portion of the shop. I forgot to take a pic. of the stall. It is nice to see people of all races enjoying their food at the coffeeshop.  There is also another coffeeshop behind New Hollywood Restaurant that operates from evening till night. I used to frequent that shop but unfortunately it was closed when I went there that evening. Perhaps I will try again on my next visit to Ipoh.

At Kg. Kacang Puteh (Kg. Chikadee) Ipoh.

When I was back in Ipoh the other day, I had to make a visit to Buntong where they had all the wonderful varieties of kacang puteh (as it is often called). Aptly known as Kg. Kacang Puteh in Kg. Chikadee, there are many outlets that sell this delicacy. From wooden little houses, they have expanded to bigger houses where they produce and sell this awesome delicacy and some have even gone international. The bigger outlets trade it overseas too.
I was looking for my favourite stall by the roadside that sells fresh fried vadai, curry puffs, cucur and many other tasty munchies but unfortunately, that stall was closed.  Anyway, I wandered into the numerous outlets there to buy my favourite kacang puteh.

Available in smaller packets and at
very reasonable prices.

I landed up buying lots of different varieties of kacang puteh to take back to KL.  I remember bringing my BIL here and he ended up buying and packing them in boxes to take back to US.  Kg. Kacang Puteh is a 'MUST' place to visit when you are in Ipoh.
