I like Hilltop’s rice with lamb cutlets, sold by the Western-Eastern food stall. That is one of the better coffee shop all around, with many choices. But a little far off from my house, but very near to my work place in old town.

WOW, I totally agree with you that Kafe Sentosa’s HK CCF is the best I’ve ever tasted!!! The one sold during mornings in Hollywood is pretty good IMHO, but lacking in prawns and not as chewy as Sentosa’s =P

For me and my family currently, our favourite hawker food joint is Hilltop Cafe (I think??) after the MB roundabout, before the police station. We usually have the Kai Si Hor Fun there (pales only slightly to the one next to Kong Heng) and then we order loads of satay and chicken wings XD The chicken satay there is the best I’ve ever tasted, being juicy and sweet, while the sauce complements it well. The BBQ chicken wings are sweet and flavourful as well, though I prefer the deep fried chicken wings sold at Chee Wah nearby, famous for claypot loh see fun. There used to be a Char Kuay stall at Hilltop too, but sadly it’s gone now =(

I can’t find really, REALLY good ABC in Ipoh nowadays. Thong Sui Kai’s Mixed Fruit Ice and ABC are merely so so, relying on its visual presentation more often than not.

Thanks Tuboflard for the comments.
Yes, I have checked at Sen Yee on Jln Yang Kalsom, the prawn mee stall has indeed ceased operations.
The grumpy old man who sells popiah has moved also, to a corner coffee shop on the ground floor of Hotel Lotte, opposite The Store on Jln Dato Onn Jaafar.
Min Chee is the one I tasted then, I think?
And thanks so much for the other recommendations. I need them.

I find your comment most interesting mun yee. For in one of the previous post, you were commenting on how you did not have money to travel, hence asking for local food recommendations. Then after seeing that I DO blog about Ipoh food, you’re trying to stir up the emotions by saying I recommend “those foods nothings special one but only normal one, one day to come nobody will go thru your channel already la ….”

Hmm, then please do drop some recommendations, mun yee. Instead of criticizing on the posts. If you’re really “board” of the posts then it’s fine. Just read those that pique your interest, as posts that might bore you to death, may be beneficial or even interesting to the others.

Thanks for your time.

The only drawback about Seng Loong’s char kway teow is that the owner is very forgetful. Tell them no chives (“kow choy”) and they will bring you a plate of noodles with chives in it. If it’s a busy day, either you eat it with chives or wait ages for a new plate. Hence, I only eat it when there’s no queue waiting and never on weekends.

Think the pancake (“woh pang”) stall in Wooley has closed shop.
