Scotch Pub & Thum’s Western Food – Taste of the Yesteryear’s

July 23, 2010 | 14,655 views

Pork Chop
A Slab of Pork Chop @ Scotch Restaurant & Pub – A tender cut commonly used in Chinese cooking, marinated then pan-fried in a simple manner.

Words can’t express how much I would love to divulge the history/legacy behind Scotch Pub, a classic Western diner that has been around for ages in Ipoh Garden South. 20 years? Or maybe more? I can’t be sure, but this perennial classic had been battling out with the newer, funkier generations and yet still standing strong.

The legendary FMS in Ipoh’s old town was closed back in late 2007, for renovations that lasted to this very day. Miner’s Arms (also in old town) on the other hand, was shut down for business sometime last year, though the charming, once the MOST prestigious Western diner in town was not doing so well in the past few years. First Coffee House on Cockman Street (Jalan Dato Onn Jaafar) recently underwent a major facelift, sporting a lime green exterior but I have not visited the cafe since my secondary school days. Rendezvous Cafe at the corner of Cockman Street and Brewster Road (Jalan Sultan Idris Shah) ceased operations few years ago, giving way to some dodgy cafe … followed suit by Blue Window Cafe located further down the road.

Do you think that Scotch Pub is in serious threat of losing out to the freshly-conceptualized fusion cafes, fine diners, and bistros? Or can they beat the odds; maybe creating history as THE longest running coffee house in Ipoh? Read on to find out ….. Read the rest of this entry »

San Francisco Steakhouse @ Coliseum Square, Ipoh (CLOSED)

May 22, 2010 | 30,755 views

UPDATED Aug 2013 – San Francisco Steakhouse is now CLOSED.

San Francisco Steakhouse Set Lunch

Not sure if the menu changes, but for the time being, you can refer to the sets published above. Every set comes with a soup of the day, and a glass of soft drink of your choice.

In the spirits of NEW chain outlets springing up in Ipoh (just like mushrooms sprouting after the rain; “Bagai Cendawan Tumbuh Selepas Hujan?” 🙂 ), San Francisco Steakhouse arrived in Ipoh without much fanfare recently.

Swiss Mushroom Burger

A thick slab of minced beef patty sandwiched between toasted sesame buns, with a slice of melted cheese, onions, tomatoes and lettuce in between. The serving of Swiss mushrooms was surprisingly on the side, instead of sandwiched between the buns; like pictured in the menu.

Under the same umbrella companies of Tai Thong Group of Restaurants, (other notable eateries include Room Eighteen, Santini Italian Restaurant, and of course; the 798 Public House & Royal China Chinese restaurant located adjacent to San Francisco Steakhouse here), San Francisco Steakhouse (SFS) started with a few branches in the Klang Valley ….
