Another reason we went there was that food was served in a nick of time.... why? Because not many people will eat from that shop these days... it is an open air concept.. no air con.. and the weather is especially hot, hot, HOT!!
these were what we ordered...
stir fried chicken with
dried chillies, ginger and spring onions
kai lan with salted fish
(my mum's favorite)
buttered sotong with curry leaves
beancurd with minced meat..
I like this dish...
I can cook this, believe me! :)
This simple dinner cost RM35 for 5 persons.

From the pic, I like chicken the best! It looked so juicy and tender.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, of course I believe you can cook the tofu dish well. You have proof your cooking skill very well so far:-)
Hi Reanaclaire, I have never eaten that 'buttered sotong', but it sure looks delicios.
ReplyDeleteReana, I used to stay in Ioh once, for a year, as well many times driving to Penang will stop in Ipoh for lunch...is that makan shop...forgot the name of the road, but I think shop name was Kong Heng.
Inside has large mirrors, outside there's a satay stall, the guy always wears a singlet and blue shorts. He always remembers me.
No need to order, when he sees me, he straightaway brings in his delicious ayam and beef satay.
Then there's a lady selling poh pia outside, and on the right of the shop a lady selling 'lum mee', I love that.
As well I love their delicious nga choy with chicken whatever, fantastic!
Just in case you ever pop to that place, please take some pics from outside, as well that satay fellow. Love to see what he looks like now. Last saw him in 1996.
You have a great week, Lee.
Gosh, buttered sotong!!! that's my favourite. LOL...

ReplyDeletemedie007: i agree with u..
sarah'sparents: u dont know me.. hahha.. im not a good cook as most of them know over here.. :)
U.Lee: yes, i know who u meant.. that uncle.. i think he is no more selling satay there, very old by now, even the popiah and the lum mee changed already..gone were the originals.. hahaha.. the shop is still there but the food is different now. Will try to get u a pic next time :)
