Huang Ting Restaurant @ First Garden, Ipoh
July 1, 2009 | 4,216 views
Worn, torn and battered menus could only mean one thing; GOOD patronage!
Braised Pork Trotter (RM10/small)
Stir-fried Frog’s Legs with Ginger & Spring Onions (RM12) & Kailan with Roasted Pork (RM6)
Homemade Beancurd (RM8)
The braised pork trotter with soy sauce was served piping hot in a claypot, but did not fare too well in terms of flavour. Tasted rather bland, though the meat was tender and portion’s aplenty.
Faring better was the stir-fried frog legs with ginger and spring onions, a classic combination that managed to complement the delicate meat of the amphibian, and successfully eliminating any unpleasant odour (some may find the meat ‘fishy’) the meat possesses. But given the scarce supplies of frogs, the small serving was really limiting, with each of us tasting mere slivers of those smooth and firm meat.
Yup, the crowd literally ‘poured’ onto the sidewalk …..
Location : Huang Ting Restaurant @ 14, Lorong Taman 13, Taman Pertama, 30100 Ipoh, Perak. Tel No : 012-417 8997. Here’s a MAP. A bit tricky if you’re not familiar with Silibin area, but shouldn’t be a problem if you know where’s the previous bus station, Medan Kidd.
Wow, that's somewhere I almost forgot about. My godmother loves to bring us here since she lives nearby, or Yum Yum if it's closed here.
It's quite nice isn't it? I forgot what we had but the prices are really affordable and the portions are good as well. I'll have to wait until the end of the year to go there again.
Your blog is like a reminder to me of how Ipoh is still in my bones even I'm elsewhere. Thanks!

omg, i can't believe u had posted a blog about this restaurant that my family n i will go every single weekend!!!
i'm a fave of their sour spicy soup (xun lat tong), 3-layer pork plus salted fish claypot (ham yu fa lam bou) and the Shanghai pork knuckle (seong hoi ju sou), MUST TRY them next time if u got the chance…
the place will be fully packed with people around 6.30 on weekends, and many people will reserve table before they go, so i would like to recommend this to those ipoh mali who yet to discover First Garden…
