Sambal Petai – A wonderful creation but why the notorious reputation?

Back in Ipoh!!!

At times the craving can be so strong … I’d do whatever to get it fixed.

So imagine the gleeful look on my face when I glanced around and saw the other customers surrounding our table at Top Wok Seafood Restaurant, all blissfully wiping their gravy off the same dish with the complimentary portions of fried mantou bun.

Tung Po Yuk with Mantou

Half fat, half lean. Only with a much, much more gelatinous layer of fat that is both smooth and has an extremely soft texture; Tung Poh Yuk (RM16/USD4.80)

Top Wok Seafood Restaurant is situated in Taman Ipoh Boulevard Timur (Boulevard East Garden?), an area densely populated by a majority of Chinese residents, en route to Tambun from Ipoh Garden East. For the specific directions, jump to the end of the post …. Read the rest of this entry »
