Brewster’s Cafe, Ipoh

March 5, 2008 | 9,208 views

# Updated 30/7/2010 – Brewster’s Restaurant is closed for the time being, and rumoured to be relocating to Greentown in September 2010. Kindly be informed. #

Brewster's Restaurant

Brewster’s @ Old Town in Ipoh – Relocating soon to Greentown

Brewster's Interior

Interior of the restaurant – The stools made long meals not as pleasant. But the bistro/cafe/bar-like ambience suits a casual dining eatery to a tee.

Brewster’s Restaurant in old town of Ipoh might have not piqued many people’s interest for the location was not as strategic, nor in the midst of a trading hub. Hence news has it that they’re relocating soon to a new premise in Greentown, tentatively opening in September of 2010.

Previous experiences at Brewster’s proved to be mediocre; or maybe it was because I usually went for the lunch sets (RM18/USD5.50++ exclusive of drinks). But they do take pride in their pizzas, spare ribs, crispy pork knuckle, pasta and such. Read on to find out more ….. Read the rest of this entry »

Mixed Cuisine Cafe, Ipoh

March 5, 2008 | 17,198 views
Guess what? It’s PORK-free …
Iced White Coffee

Assam Seafood with Rice

Mixed Grill Set

Glutinous Rice Ball in Warm Soya Bean Milk

Due to overwhelming workload today, (doesn’t happen a lot, actually, so might as well savour those moments, haha …) we skipped breakfast, but paid the price by suffering through hunger pangs for hours. In the end, we went for lunch a bit earlier (roughly 1/2 hr only la) ,but came to the indecisive point, as usual, on where to go. Results? Same old safe choice, Mixed Cuisine, located at Padang Ipoh, Old Town. It’s at the same row with Old Town Kopitiam, Ice Ice Baby, and Momo Steamboat Cafe.

I had the Mixed Grill Set (RM11.90+), came with a drink (choice:7Up, White Coffee, Honey Sea Coconut, Fruit Juice etc) & a dessert (choice:pudding, ice-cream or tang yuen in soya bean milk). Frenz had Assam Seafood Rice, Cincaru Seafood Rice, & Orange Chicken Rice (pic blurry la, so din post here, sorry?)

The last time i had the Grill, it came with beef fillet, but this time around, only chicken and lamb provided, with a chicken sausage. Oh they provide various choices for sauces, eg. Mushroom, Black Pepper, Mongolian (BEST!), Rosemary, Red Wine (add RM2) & Mint(for lamb only). I chose Rosemary today, fairly satisfactory, not too watery or salty, and went reli well with the meat. Sides of mashed potatoes, coleslaw & toasted butter garlic bread. The cincaru seafood rice was tasty, came with prawns, fish, squids, onions, petai, long beans & ladies fingers. Spicy and sour enough, but not overwhelming.Goes reli well with white rice. Assam seafood on the other hand, cannot do judgment la… tried one small tiny spoonful of gravy only … 🙁 Orange chicken looked nice, but not sure bout the taste. Dessert was good, warm soya bean milk, with 2 tang yuen (glutinous rice ball) stuffed with peanut, and black pearls (those used in concoction of Taiwan Bubble Tea).

Overall, meal was considered cheap, and satisfying … then it was time to work again … sigh.

Dry Curry Mee (Yee Fatt, Ipoh)

March 4, 2008 | 16,099 views

Located at the round about in front of MGS (Methodist Girls’ School), this shop has been around forever …. Or at least as long as i can rmbr. Since i was small my family used to bring me here for the curry mee, ‘pau’, and fried rice/noodle etc. Manned by a family of Hainanese, i felt right at home. (hehe … i am one too). But nowadays i doubt they serve the ‘pau’s anymore. The dry curry mee is still their forte, costing RM3.70 a plate, comes with curry chicken (not shreds only), char siu, & bean sprouts.Tastewise? NICE, spiciness just right. But a tad oily. Still digs Nam Chau’s version more … but still, give this a try!

Secret Recipe (Dessert)

March 4, 2008 | 851 views
Baked marble cheesecake
Wow … price increase again … RM6.30 per slice, and the portion got smaller! As u can see from the pic above, the fork is a MINI version, not a member of the main course cutlery set.
Tastewise? Drop in quality though. Base crumbs was dry and tasteless, like chewing on sand paper. Cheese was creamy enough, but lack the oomph … sigh …

Pasir Pinji Fried Yong Tau Foo

March 4, 2008 | 12,554 views
Finally got a shot of the place, but sadly, no signboard in English


BIG succulent pieces of fish paste

Forgot the shop name la… but it’s at a crossroad opposite another coffee shop, previously owned by the deceased Tai Kau (Big Dog), as he was fondly remembered. Last time it was under some trees, and attap roof only. Quite hot in the afternoon, but ppl thronged the stall for laksa, fried ‘liew’ (yongtaufoo),fried chicken Poh Lee, & refreshing array of drinks (Wan Tau Long-dunno translation la… Ai Yi Ping Jelly?)
Now they renovated, and moved into a shop with ample seats, and lots of new stalls. The rojak still stays, as is the Fried “Liew” stall, but the rest dunno where they mushroomed from.
Each piece is STILL 50cents, and fried on the spot. On weekends noon, be prepared for long queues. I chose to go earlier, roughly before 12pm, to be able to choose my fav pieces, rather than simply choosing leftovers/the same type of newly fried batches. Their fish paste is VERY tasty, and lack the typical processed fishy smell.Portion is quite generous too. You can opt for noodles/laksa to go with the Liews, but normally i dun, to save time, haha ….

Location : (If anyone needs directions, I would try to help la … but i think its quite famous liao)
UPDATED! : It’s at Jalan Pasir Pinji, 31650 Ipoh. The opposite shop’s name is Sin Seng Kee Coffee Shop.

Lamb Pie

Fillings of black pepper lamb chunks, carrots, onions, & mushroom

Dinner was simple lamb pie from Secret Recipe (RM6), as mum had discount for some reason i dunno. Guess she’s close to the waitress or manager or whoever. Who’s complaining? 🙂

Filling was not reli generous, but quite filling, and tasty, though by the time i get to chomp this, it was slightly cold. Still has a slice of cake waiting for me in the fridge …. muahaha ….
