Pasir Pinji, 兵如港 - Ipoh, Perak

I was outstation to Ipoh for a business trips. Besides business of course not to mention, looking for good place and good foods to share with you all.....

This is the famous 'Ji Le Tong', a historical buddisht temple and of course a tourist point...

Collegues requested to visit this temple first before going for lunch. They are faithful Buddhist, of course i won't dissapointed them.

Look ! a lot of fish in the lake.

After visited to the temple, we headed to the Ipoh famous Food court at Pasir Pinji.

Local Ipoh people named this place as 'Tai Su Dao' meaning 'Big Tree'... is located at Pasir Pinji, Ipoh. And i think they named it as Tai Su Dao because the place is covered by some of the big trees......

This is what people called "Pang Tai Wun", Green Herb, If anyone went to Betong , Thailand, might heard about this.

Icy fruits mixed, people who comes here, will definitely order this item. Girls favorites!

Their famous foods are 'Yong Tau Foo' they fried everything on the spot, therefore fresh, hot and crispy. You can pick either fried or soup.

Besides Yong Tau Foo, they also served fried noodles, curry laksa and asam laksa....


Any plan to visit Ipoh this holiday??? Must drop by this place and try the foods here...

The famous Fish Mee Hoon (蕉赖四楼湖滨鱼头米粉)

I love fish head meehoon but it is hardly to find a delicious bowl of it. I am addicted to this 蕉赖四楼湖滨鱼头米粉 after the first tried at Desa Water Park. As i know, there are few brances, namely Desa Water Park, Seri Kembangan and also the main one at Jalan Cheras. For more details, please search from google.com :)


Used to drive all the way down to Desa Water Park for this fish head meehoon. It was always in the very packed condition and we need to share the table with the others. Nonethess, it was quite far distance from my house. Luckily during my previos job, my former colleague told me that there was a superb fish head meehoon around Seri Kembangan. So without hestitate, I head to there on a sunday morning. Out of my expectation, it is the same one as in Desa Water Park. I was so excited as i can have it anytime i want and without need to travel a long journey.

These definitely cannot be left out



RM 6.00 per bowl. You can choose either Fried Fish Head, Raw Fish Head or Mix of Fish Paste. (Strongly recommened to go for Fried Fish Head + Fish Paste)
Got to know from the newspaper report, the meehoon was handmade. Wont swell after absorb the soup.

Can you see that Big Fish Paste? I love it

Yee Mee version is also available.

Trust me, so far this is the best fish head meehoon in the town. I can finish the whole bowl even the soup as i like salty vegie too :)

p/s: to Alvin, as I never try your mum's stall fish head meehoon, so this is the best for me. I might change my perception once i try aunty's cooking.

Baked Cheese Potato

Had been ages since the last post. Reasons were because there is no special or new dishes to be proud of and also getting lazy to blog. Anyhow, recently i was motivated to have new post after reading and browsing through the best sista blog. She just happen to have a quite similar blog,

www.wretch.cc/blog/cuisineworld

http://www.cuisineworld.blogspot.com/.

I admire her cooking, baking or either sewing skill and definitely i am proud of you, Net.

I have nothing but a very simple yet delicious and fattening Baked Cheese Potato to start after a long lost post. I am not fancy to potato but i am addicted to KFC Cheese Potato Wedges. Since there is still no recipe for the cheese sauce as the one use in KFC, thus i replaced it with mozzarella cheese and dipping with mayonnaise (as it is going to expiry soon :P).

The next i going to explore is Baked Stuffed Potato. Oh ya, Oven is a very good kitchen helper :)

Hanabi Japanese Restaurant - Jalan Perak

Hanabi Japanese restaurant is located at Jalan Perak, KL… don’t know where is Jalan Perak? It located right opposite the beach club, Thai bar or another entrance which right opposite the Modesto.

We started with Sake Sashimi (RM32). It was excellent and fresh. The quality of the food served and the freshness of the ingredients were really good.

Hanabi No.1 Special (RM 28) 2 pieces per serving. Made from avocado, Unagi wrapped with snapper fish with baked cheese and Hanabi special sauce.. Taste really good that i cant express it by words but i assure you'll like it...

Nana Harumaki (RM 28). To avoid too much intake of rice i decide to order this. It was sushi of soft shell crab with spicy sauce and raw tuna, had a unique taste, which combined a creamy and spicy sauce together with crunchy crab.

Hanabi Special Roll (RM28). This is something like a Hanabi No.1 except it not wrapped with snapper fish... A 2nd choice if you think that Hanabi No.1 is too pricey.



I barely recall what they call this fish.. i think it sound something like Ipothai (RM40). They claimed the fish was freshly delivered from Japan and not available all the time so we decided to have a try... Honestly it look not so appetizing but in fact the flesh taste sweet and the sauce give a unique taste to the fish..



Ika Geso Fried (RM15) - fried calamari. Taste okay but nothing special...



Ishiyaki Gyoya Chanplu (RM18) - Bittergourd in hot stone bowl. They actually cook this in front of you. Its real HOT, so beware as it will burn your tongue.. something unique if you are fans of bitter gourd.



Eringi Ninniku Yaki (RM26). I like the way they present the dish. The mushroom taste nice too... tender and flavorful.



Agedashi Tofu (RM12). Nothing special bout this Tofu in fact i think it doesnt taste so nice ... but again it my personal opinion.



We ended our dinner with Matcha aisu kurīmu (Green tea ice cream with red bean paste). This was free from the supervisor...

I definitely recommend checking out Hanabi if you haven’t and I do look forward for another seating at Hanabi...

Elcerdo - Changkat Bukit Bintang

El Cerdo (which means “the pig” in Spanish) located at Changkat Bukit Bintang.



The ambiance is nice and cozy; warm lighting, walls decorated with pictures and drawings of adorable piglets.



The complimentary tomato,pork sausages soup. A very good start...

Capri Salad (RM26.00). Mozzarella, Ham, Tomato on Garden Greens with Balsamico Dressing. Before start eating all the porkies i think we were very much in need of some greens.

Bouquerones (RM 19.50). Bacon stuffed with White Wine marinated Anchovies, fried in Olive oil served on Salad with Sauce Tartar.

Hickory Smoked Pork Soft Ribs (RM 45.00). Grilled in Spices, Fine Herbs, Chutneys & Rum. I love this the most, very very tasty. The meat is tender and not over-cooked... The sauce gave it a very distinct taste.

Marinated Pork Shoulder Steak (RM 39.50). Marinated for 48 hours with the Finest Paprika, Herbs, Onions,Garlic and Mild Dijon Mustard. The meat is cooked the perfection, juicy and superb.....

Finally a dessert to finish off the meal. The homemade raspberry sherbet (RM19.50). What’s in it? Well, the Werner’s Special - made up of chocolate mousse, fresh strawberries, mango puree, vanilla ice-cream and raspberry sherbet. This is a Must Try... A very refreshing dessert after all.

Non-Halal

19 August, any special occasion on this date? Yeah every 19th of the month and it’s once a month. 1901 Hot Dogs - New York Chicken & Chicago Beef for RM 1.99 each on every 19th of the month over the usual price RM 4.90 each. It's once a month; happening every 19th.



Honestly i didn't know they have this promotion until I saw a crowd queuing at the 1901 Hot Dogs Kiosk at Pavillion....



Even it only a hot dogs which cost RM 1.99 but they still packed it in a proper way... Let take a look of the contain in the box.....



For instance, 1901 New York Chicken Hot Dogs are steamed - preserving the texture and flavor while keeping them healthier. Served with hot buns, low fat sauce such as mayo and ketchup... Even at cost RM 1.99, the stuffs still prepared the hot dogs to perfection....



Same serving way for Chicago Beef Hot Dogs. Served with mustard sauce instead of mayo.

Overall the 2 Hot Dogs taste pretty good... It only RM 1.99, so what's more you asking for....

What foods you think you can get with RM 1.99 in Pavillion perharp only 1901 Hot Dogs....:)
