They arrived early morning at 10am, driving all the way from Johor at 4am in the morning. Though the traffic was not heavy, the long drive still takes six hours to reach Ipoh. I have not seen them for nearly two months, time really flies. And the first thing they did when they arrived at the doorstep was to go for a good breakfast! LOL...
After breakfast we went shopping for pomeloes and Ipoh famous biscuits... by then it was almost afternoon. Told them to take a good rest before going for dinner. There is one place I have planned to take them for dinner, it is called Soo Hak Yee in Bercham. I have been there several times and the food was not bad though it was a bit pricey especially when it comes to Crabs!!
Wanted them to try this Freshly made giant bread...
3 choices of fillings... curry chicken, crabs or prawns...
We opted for crabs!
And here it goes...
Inside the bread, there are two big crabs...
This alone cost around RM170!
Sweet and Sour sauce goes well with the bread...
Steamed 3 types of shells...
Clams, Scallops and the long clams aka "Tarn" in cantonese...
And this cost RM32
And the cheapest is this yummy appetizing dish...
Eggplants with dried shrimps... RM12
And that was our dinner for the four of us....
Enough to fill us to the brim for the night!
Oooooo...I so miss that curry in a bun. Don't think we can get it anywhere now, not anymore. Anyway, even if it is, the bread is not gluten free so we wouldn't be going for it.
ReplyDeleteVery tempting foods...
ReplyDeleteThanks for this blog. I was not aware of the existence of this eatery. I think my dad and hubby would love the sweet and sour crabs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a giantic bread! Very scrumptious meal! I would love to eat all the food here. You must be so very happy to see the both of them after two long months.
ReplyDeleteLove all the three dishes especially the crabs and shells
ReplyDeleteSo are your visitors your children? How many do you have? I have never seen anything like this giant bread! It is so special!
ReplyDeleteVery scrumptious meal! Very unique that the crabs are cooked enclosed in the bread.
ReplyDeleteI will remember this place when I go Bercham next time. Thanks for sharing, Claire.
