Ipoh Trippin'
Had to stay over at Ipoh for a night as we had briefing the day before the early morning event. So after the briefing at 4pm, we got back to the hotel that was just 2 minutes away from the Perak Turf Club [PTC] for some afternoon tea. Wanted to go for nasi kandar but by the time we were done at the PTC, it was too late and too early for dinner so had to settle for tea.
Thank goodness Heritage Hotel has a good coffee shop so when you're in Ipoh, you can't skip the famous Ipoh white coffee, can you? It's delicious!
Can't have coffee without bread, right? So tried out their hong kong style sandwich with cheese and ham. Think I like it better toasted.
To finish off a good afternoon tea, you definitely have to order another Ipoh white coffee but the hot version. *yum*
Two hours or rather 1 1/2 hours later, we went out looking for dinner. To think we came all the way to Ipoh to have Nyonya food. Haha. But the place looks real fancy, don't you think?
Either we came at the wrong time or this place is really good cause we had to wait awhile to get our seats... Yes, it was fully booked and they have another floor too.
Started with some fried chicken. :) Then two different varieties of vegetables. Pretty standard stuff.
Prawns cooked in the nyonya way. I like 'em. But I think I've had better but this is Ipoh so I guess I'll let it slide.
The finale to this all? The fish head curry. Could have done with a little bit more kick but still good. :)
The very next day it was a very early start and I mean very early. A little too early for me but it was a quick event. Suppose to end at 11 a.m. but ended 45 minutes earlier. Good for us cause we managed to catch the nasi kandar place before it got packed with the lunch crowd.
Seems like this place is very popular in Ipoh. Found out that kampungboycitygal also went there. Didn't really take much photos cause I was really hungry and the food was really good! I mean REALLY good! A definite pit stop for me whenever I'm in Ipoh. :D At least there's more options now than just the chicken rice, hor fun, seafood and dim sum. :)
