Monday Blues No More! – A Teochew Dinner @ Fay Loo Restaurant, Ipoh

May 28, 2012 | 7,767 views

Minced Pork Patty with Salted Fish

Teochew-style Deep Fried Pork Patty with Salted Fish

And you go WHAT?!!! Not fair for Motormouth to kick start HIS week with such a sumptuous feast and in Ipoh some more!

My dear, since when has life been fair? 😉

Nah, but seriously … this is work. But just so happened that the cravings for Teochew food reached an all-time high last few days; culminating in an outburst of one utterly saliva-inducing shot posted on the Facebook page.

And voila! MM was back in Ipoh within 2 hours and tucking in into some menacing Teochew dishes (with a pinch of Cantonese, or so claimed the proprietress) for dinner. Read the rest of this entry »

Sin Hup Heng Chaozhou Restaurant @ Theatre Street, Ipoh

The Canned, Waxed & Preserved Stuff

Wait, you mean ANOTHER post on Teochew cuisine in Ipoh? The last one was barely half a month ago (read the Ah Jik’s decades old story). Have I gone insane? Or mellowed from the aging process?

Throughout the 3+ years of blogging, I showed close to no love for Teochew food in Ipoh; save for one other popular porridge shop in old town. And now I’m bombarding you with almost back to back posts?!

Always Better to Eat in a Crowd

In fact, yes. And had I told you that this lunch happened on the SAME day that we had Ah Jik’s stuff for dinner, would you have rolled on the floor, laughed at the sheer silliness (or irony), or are you already smacking your lips in delight?

Even if you absolutely detest Teochew cooking (boring, bland and lifeless?), you should consider giving this restaurant a chance …. Read the rest of this entry »

Faithfully Yours; Ah Jik – A Traditional Teochew Porridge & Rice Stall in Ipoh

November 9, 2011 | 7,941 views

Deboning the Fish, Salted Egg

I look forward to the monthly homecoming more and more. Ipoh means so much to me; for more reasons than one. Yes, I was born in this beautiful town (to me, this is never a city … only my beloved hometown) and raised with the resplendent of resources from this town built on tin mining activities. Tin mining was HUGE back in the glory days, when Ipoh was barely tainted with the brush of development and mass commercialization.

This past weekend was different. Instead of going all out like I usually did, and hunt for new restaurants/cafes in town, I adopted a significantly different approach in capturing the essence of what made Ipoh famous; the incomparable street foods and the magnificent sights.

For a start, let’s hear a story from this Teochew uncle already in his 60’s (presumably); running this stall selling Teochew-inspired dishes with rice or porridge for more than three decades now ….  Read the rest of this entry »
