When we reached there, there was already a queue waiting to "tarpau" and some waiting to be seated. I should have taken a picture of the 2 shops, one filled with people and the other practically quiet and empty. I remember when I was very young, Rasa Sayang was the popular one...
we ordered a plate - both combinations
steamed and roasted chicken
delicious looking??
the "char siew"
japanese taufu
chap-choy (mixed vegetables) is our favorite
For 5 of us, this meal cost RM51 plus drinks....
Well, cheap or expensive, Andy was fully satisfied with this chicken rice shop!!
oh no...food again. i am soooooo hungry!! i like the last dish ;)
ReplyDeletewah...so nice...the chicken looks tempting...i am not sure if i have been there. hahhahaa...
ReplyDeletei love the chap choy.
ReplyDeletebarb: why do we ladies simply love the chap choy? :P
ReplyDeletegab: not sure.. it is in town, did aaron take u there? it is opp. the salted chicken shop.
Wenn: i m sure u know which shop i was talking about , right?
Hey, I like 'choy keok' too...
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese tofu look so funny.. but I bet they are delicious.. rite? RM51 for five of you, if KL standard, OK lor! Ipoh standard? OK oso rite? :D
ReplyDeletemingna: each of us seems to like the choy kwok...
ReplyDeletemerryn: as long as enough to eat.. yeah, a bit expensive once awhile ok lor, hor?
The char siew is tempting. Hard to find good char siew over here.
ReplyDeleteYUM---looks delicious. My hubby taught in China for awhile --and learned to cook some fabulous stir-fry meals. I always enjoy them when he makes them. We also enjoy going to our local Chinese Buffet... I'm sure none of our similar foods are nearly as good as yours, but for us, it's a nice alternative. YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
superman: the char siew was not bad.. but the chicken was tastier..
ReplyDeletebetsy: so your hubby can cook chinese dishes.. not bad.. frankly chinese dishes are very easy to cook.. :)
what happened to Rasa Sayang, how come it's empty now ?
ReplyDeletei like the choy keok best... yumzz. CNY coming, surely lotsa leftovers to cook a big pot.
fooooood!!! dangerous to drop by. :P
ReplyDeletehappy makaning in happy makan land, reanaclaire! to more good times, cheers!
nasib baik i am eating maggi mee while reading this or else my stomach will play drum again.
ReplyDeleteAiyo...I LOVE chap choy. If they put in roast duck bones lagi sedap
well, i really dun have time to eat the chicken rice in town, i think it's rasa sayang. I passed by but was on full stomach. haha...
ReplyDeletethe chap choy looks good!
Looks very tasty and totally unlike what we eat here in South Africa.
ReplyDeleteNo disrespect....but how come the foods all look so teruk-teruk? Ha :D
ReplyDeleteyou know, I love those,
ReplyDeletethank you for upgrading my appetite.

It all looks good, but the second plate looks best to me. I love Hot Sour Soup and Kung Pao Chicken over steamed rice.
ReplyDeleteEwwwww.... the chap choy looks weird! I wun put it in my mouth! I'd go for the chicken and the tofu any day, tho!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy...but I;m k\like Cleff. The chap choy looks like salted veg leh?
ReplyDeleteOops...*I'm like Cleff...
ReplyDeleteelaine: not so sure, i think either they charge expensive or maybe they dont taste as nice as pak kong...
ReplyDeletetuti: cheers to that!! thanks!
smallkucing: eat another bowl of mee perhaps after this? u r very slim ma! :)
chrisau: u also like chapchoy? so wait for cny before u can taste that, OK?
lynette: yes, i bet they were totally different... this is one of the speciality in my town...
tekkaus: hehehe..i get what u mean!

Dhemz: yeah, long time no see.. pls do drop by more often!
gratitude: dont faint..just come to ipoh and savor them :)
ReplyDeletePatty: wow..u love kung pou chicken? me too! over steamed rice? good idea.. :)
stp: it is called kai choy.. yeah, i think if fermented, it is salted vege but this one is not fermented.. they boil the fresh kai choy with the leftovers ... we normally have this dish after festive seasons..

ReplyDelete@ manglish *pats manglish's head* Guai, guai, bu yao ku! LOL...

ReplyDeletehmmm chap choi..i thought only pregnant ppl like only... so u ada baby ar...
rachel: where got such myth ah.. hahaa..first time i heard.. i think men and ladies alike love this dish.. very appetising la.. maybe it is bec of the assam jawa that turns people on! hahhaa...
ReplyDeleteChar Siew and sour veg for me, anytime! Good combination!

ReplyDeletePete.... hi..long time no hear, what happened to u? glad to see yr name reappearing after MIA. hahhaa.. hope u r doing well!
ReplyDeletec.Alv.B: me also on diet.. but still we need to live, right? :) eat and enjoy too...
Was back in Ipoh recently and please....give me another place to go for hawker food at night! Aneka Selera doesn't seem so great anymore!
ReplyDeleteWanted to go to YumYum on Firday for their Siamese laksa but being the long weekend, they didn't have their lunch specials!
All in all...not a good foodie trip this time round!
why the chap-choy looks like "ham choy" like that.. XD
ReplyDeleteann: i seldom go aneka selera.. unless no more choice.. i prefer to go for dishes instead.. maybe bercham is a better choice next time... compared to those days, ipoh garden food court is ranked much lower now ...
ReplyDeletedonna: ham choy is actually kai choy ma.. same type of vege...
