Soo Kee @ Sea Park – Ipoh Chicken Kuey Teow & Fresh Prawn Wantan

May 6, 2012 | 13,090 views

Ipoh Chicken Kuey Teow

Ipoh’s signature “Kai See Hor Fun” (Chicken Kuey Teow) @ Soo Kee served both ways; in a savoury broth boiled with various parts of the chicken and a light dash of prawn oil, and the dry version tossed in a greasy mix of sauces; garnished with lots of fried shallots and chopped chives

Since the previous post was on Annie 1; a kopitiam in Damansara Uptown serving pretty delicious Ipoh hawker food like wantan mee, chee cheong fun and even a caramel egg custard that vaguely reminded me of Thean Chun‘s, let’s continue the theme here with Soo Kee; an old classic in its own right here in Seapark.

For decades now, Soo Kee capitalizes on the lack of honourable hawker fares in KL/PJ that bring forth the sense of rendezvous to one who misses Ipoh food; “Kai See Hor Fun” (Ipoh’s style of chicken noodle soup; served with Hor Fun/flat rice noodles ONLY) to be exact. Read the rest of this entry »

HK Eats : Good Hope Noodle @ Mong Kok – Another Congee/Noodles Specialist

May 27, 2011 | 6,382 views

For all the posts on this Hong Kong/Macau food fest, click HERE.

Wanton Noodles

Extremely thin strands of egg noodles with a prominent aroma of lye water (alkaline water, or ‘kan sui’) made up bowls after bowls of noodle in soup with either dumplings, beef brisket, pig’s parts, etc.

At the time of posting this, you must be scratching your head wondering what the heck has gotten into Motormouth lately. DAILY posts?!! Almost unheard of, since … erm, aeons ago when I was back in Ipoh and leisure time exceeded working hours by a far margin. After all, stuck in traffic jams after office hours was almost unheard of back then …..

Before this passion to put my thoughts into words fizzles out, I’d better keep this momentum going. After all, this trip was more food hunt and shopping than sight-seeing, as opposed to the last trip back in 2008. So there will be more posts on FOOD (hurray?) than anything else.

Still in a daze, I started this week by waking up in Hong Kong, then journeyed to Macau for 2 nights, before coming back to Malaysia for a subsequent night, and finally travelled down south to Singapore last night. I am back in PJ now, but this weekend will be spent in Ipoh (double hurray?!!).

Since it’s Friday (that darn Rebecca Black’s tune kept playing in my head, for some incomprehensible reason!), let’s keep today’s post short, shall we?

Kafe Sentosa Ria @ Ipoh Garden South – Motormouth’s Pick for Breakfast

November 6, 2010 | 6,802 views

Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun

Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun – A combination of succulent shrimps and cubed barbecued pork wrapped within the smooth, steamed rice noodles, then sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and fried shallots. I have no qualms in proclaiming this as my favourite in Ipoh.

Still in the holiday mood? Yeah, understandable given the long weekend for most. And the air of festivity lingering amidst the barrage of rainfalls in several states up north. Ipoh’s been comparably lucky, drenched only in the evenings while neighbouring states of Kedah, and Perlis which is further up north are not so fortunate. Let’s stand strong and pray for the best okay?

Anyway, been wanting to rave about this coffee shop in Ipoh Garden South for some time now. I once wrote about my favourite Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun in all of Ipoh, from this very stall parked at the entrance to Kafe Sentosa Ria, a corner inconspicuous lot in an area populated by boutiques, coffee shops, several cafes and at the end of a row of shops most notable for the fruit stores.

If you’re thinking this is pure BS. How can one relatively unknown stall operated by an old couple and a man in his mid-40’s (?) be so worthy of the heaps of praises? Okay, so I have tasted the HK Chee Cheong Fun in all of the dim sum restaurants I have covered, the popular ones from stadium, Medan Aneka Selera (or “tung koo thing), and then some. But still, this one at Kafe Sentosa Ria constantly draws me back for a hearty breakfast of Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun, some prawn wantons, and maybe a serving or two of ham/cheese/egg sandwiches.
