Roadtrip- Perak (Part 1)
We found Kg Cina, the road was peppered with many seafood restaurants, but just could not find the one I wanted to try.
Fibre to start the meal..Stir fried yau mak. Vegetables was fresh and crisp. Good.
Next up, the fried or-chien.
Hideous looking. But absolutely mind blowing delicious. I had a few versions of good or chien in Penang (the crispy ones) and in KL (crisp with huge or chien), but this version, got first spot in my hall of orchien fame. When they served us this dish, I was wondering why the usual chilli sauce was not provided. One bite into this and I understood why. The egg-flour batter was so well seasoned, it tasted fantastic on its own. The exterior was super crisp yet the inside was fluffy and light, almost souffle like. So darn good, I wished I had the whole plate to myself, but the super generous me obviously shared.hehe.
The waitress recommended the Vietnamese style prawns..
The sauce was just ok, I was not over the moon with it. I cant deny though the prawns very fresh and sweet.
And ended with a large plate of steam lala.. Sweet, sweet, sweet! The soup was very sweet from the natural flavours of the lala.We liked this, wonderful to warm our bellies since the weather was turning dreadful...
Overall a enjoyable meal here that only costs us RM44.
We were so stuffed from lunch that we spent the remaining time in Sitiawan looking for their famed biscuits..Alas, luck was not with us, they were not opened on sunday :(
We looked for James cendol, yet equipped with a bad map, we did not find it.
We did however, ended up at a cendol stall near The Store which turned out delicious too.
Amidst the cold drizzle, guess my senses (or goosebumps) were heightened- this bowl of cendol was ultra cold.hehehe. Not a wasted effort as the cendol was very smooth and melted in my mouth in an instant. Very nice indeed.
We said goodbye to Sitiawan as it rained cats and dogs.....
Detoured to Kellie's Castle, Batu Gajah
We finally made our way to Ipoh...
Dinner was a simple affair, we were too bushed for elaborate searching of new, grand food. Ended up at Thong Sui Kai for hawker fair..
Alicia was persistent to seek for her egg in sweet broth. And her wish came true.
Such a happy camper to find her 'treasure'.
And to wrap up the dinner, a duck parcel (wrap)

the duck parcel looks tempting.
foodbin: i really like that :) if you are ever at thong sui kai, you shud try it
Aiya, should have called for directions, for the Cendol.
Anyway, though yeah it's good but personally, I felt that Penang Road's and Malacca's are better.
j2kfm: a storm was brewing, we were rushing to leave sitiawan, so didnt immediately think of you ma. difference preference to the levels of the cendol i guess; to me, if it's for the green thingy, then this one is good; if you like the smooth dessert soup base cendol- then it's Penang and if the most important part of the cendol for you is the gula melaka, then malacca is your cup of tea..
Can't wait till I dig my chopsticks into a bowl oh curry noodles when I go back for the Chinese New Year ;)
Kong Hee Fatt Choy!
Unkaleong: sounds fantastic! am sure you'll enjoy it :) Gong Hey Fatt Choy to you too!
Whoa, you even managed to find duck parcel at Tong Sui Kai!
jason: hahaha it's not that hard coz there's only a few stalls that's ultra popular ;)
