Tung Koo Thing aka Aneka Selera – Where Everything’s Under One Roof in Ipoh

November 22, 2008 | 6,250 views
Tweet
Lazy, rainy Saturday evening. I’ll let the photos do the talking, instead of the usual (motor)mouth’s rambling on and on ….


Hahaha … both scratching in tandem. Confused?

Place : Aneka Selera aka Restoran Kam Wan aka “Tung Koo Thing” aka Mushroom Stop ?

Address : Erm, this one’s tough. But here’s something to assist. Got MAP !!! Although seriously, ask any Ipohan, or any foodie from outstation where the famous “Tung Koo Thing” is, and doubtful they won’t know. Unless they’ve been living under a shell. Or a rock.

Whoops. I’ll shut up. =P

Deep-fried Squids (RM8)
Cheap, fresh and succulent squids. Sadly, the batter did NO justice to the seafood. Tasteless, relied heavily on the chilli sauce. Go for their shells and crabs instead.

Deep-fried-til-damn-crispy-yet-tasteless Mini Baby Crabs (RM5 for small)
From the Lor Bak stall. Perfect as accompaniment for beer, or light snack. Though artery-clogging culprits, no less. If only they’re saltier ….

Tom Yum Beehoon (RM4.50)
Toned down for the general palate. Not as authentic as the REAL deal. Yet works in some ways … With generous ingredients (the usual suspects) thrown in for good measure. Won’t fire up your belly, yet piquant enough to be interesting.
Popiah (RM1.60 each)
Bigger than usual, the Popiah stall is directly opposite Meng Wa Seafood stall, somewhere in the middle of the food court. Not too shabby, though the wait may be daunting. She took her own sweet time preparing these babies.

Wan Tau Long (Ai Yee Bing) Jelly with Ice (RM2, I think)

Wash it all down with some cooling jelly, with self-served squeezed lime for that tangy hint, and lots of shaved ice to numb that aching tooth. Refreshing.

OK, happy weekend (or whatever that’s left of it) everyone!

    To me they have the best popiah. You can even ask for more crispy prawn and it will taste even better. Best grill fish and the best claypot rice.

    These kind of casual places to sit and snack are our real comfort zones. Nobody argues about what to eat ! And the wallets doesn’t quiver.
    and sometimes the beers come complimentary when strangers become “friends”

    I know where is this Tung Koo Thing…. it’s just next to Wooley Food Court. 😀

    I like their fried noodles at the last stalls, I see them use pork lard to fry. That’s heaven!!!

    Life for Beginners : haha, i din realise til i moved them into my pc. guess scratching’s kinda infectious huh?

    BSG : complimentary? hehe, I wouldnt bet my life on that.

    550ml jar of faith : most know the place as Tung Koo Thing. alter egos or not, the place sure has a long long long history of its own.

    little inbox : somehow, it’s a form of release for them, no? since when they mature into REAL crabs, they’re bound to get eaten anyway. hahaha …

    Duckie : yeah indeed. hawker fare in Ipoh still maintain usual price.

    NKOTB : oh yeah. fried noodles MUST have lards. biting into one unsuspectedly brings a sense of joy inside.

    Ordered the ice kacang once. With only gula Melaka and Santan without any other condiments. The gula Melaka is surprisingly awesome. Very unlike other places that I have tried
