On a hot sunny day we went out for lunch in Lok Wei Kui coffeeshop which is located at the corner, just opposite Kamdar Textile along Jalan Jln Mustapha A Al-Bakri also known as Clare Street. This shop has been around ever since I was a teenager or even before ... ie. more than 50 years ago.... very well known during the 1970s as I usually passed by that shop very often. Yes, passed by only cos those days it is considered a luxury to eat in classier coffeeshops... those days most food were sold at the road sides already....
Those days this bowl of "Hor Hee" is very famous...
Today it is still nice but frankly, not as tasty as the yester-years...
Normally "Hor Hee" is eaten with glass noodles...
Besides noodles, I love to order peanut pancakes here in this shop...
It cost RM1 for a piece now...
Worth paying... just look at the nuts overflowing....
Simply the Best!
yeah, once i saw the photo, i know that is HOR HEE!! besides remembering for its deliciousness, i also remember this bowl of noodles by its very interesting name Hor Hee, haha!! and i wonder if our Ipoh Food Mayor actually know how this name came from?? i know woh~~ :p
ReplyDeleteand that apam!! fuyoh, so thick and so huge a piece with so much peanuts.. and i can see it's so crispy outside and chewy soft inside.. i like!!!
SK, I really don't know wor... humbly ask you to explain if you may... :) I know hor hee is quite similiar to koay teow thng in Penang... quite but not the same completely... yes, I do recommend you to take the pancake one day... try it!
DeletePeanut pancakes, my all time favorite! The one at Taiping also very nice, do you agree? :)
ReplyDeleteAt the aneka selera? YES!! I love the Big Face pancake anytime especially when it is hot!
DeleteI love to eat peanut pancakes too! Hor Hee I like too but did not know that we are supposed to eat hor hee with glass noodles.
ReplyDeleteNormally with glass noodles but of course, you can opt for other types too... :) So when are you coming? hahaha.. .
DeleteHaha ..I used to eat here during my late teens with my fellow classmates. This kopitiam still going strong ! I miss the hor hee !
ReplyDeleteThat shop is quite famous then.. right?

DeleteNice Hor Hee & peanut psncakes. For peanut pancakes, I like the thin cripsy type but the one in the pix looks good too.
ReplyDeleteYou are same with my kids.... my kids like the thin and I like the fat... hahaha...
DeletePeanut pancakes, apam balik or ban chien koi. Like Irene, I like the thin and crispy version too but best eaten hot from the pan.
ReplyDeleteYes, otherwise cold already, they don't taste as good.. harder and drier...
DeleteI love peanut pancakes too~~~

DeleteI love the peanut pancakes! I can eat a few slices hah..hah...There is one stall near my office that sells this I don't like it because they put sweet corn and they do it thin and crispy.
ReplyDeleteSo you like them thicker like me... .yes!! And some like it thin and crispy...
DeleteI might consider move to Ipoh if there are jobs there, or when I retire. That dai kau min... Cannot get that overflowing peanuts when I buy in KL anymore!
ReplyDeletehahaha.. did you not read.. Ipoh is one of the top 10 or 20 best cities to stay upon retirement...
Deleteohh that one called hor hee ah...here we call it tung fun. Very nice but have to eat fast
ReplyDeleteYah if not fast enough, then become twice as much.. hahaha..
DeleteClare road. Sound like your name! ^^
ReplyDeleteYes I love that soup with glass noodles (Hokkien called it tang hoon). And that peanut pancakes too. worth eating it!!
Yes, minus the "i"... it is Clare street, those days the streets names are mostly British names.. very canggih one...

ReplyDeleteHomemade fishballs are always the best despite that there may be hint of mingled fishy taste.Nice snapshot!
