Motormouth’s Travel Ideas – Teluk Intan (Day Two)

November 7, 2012 | 15,271 views

Continuation from Day One in Teluk Intan …

Keng Heng Coffee Shop

Keng Heng Coffee Shop & Budget Hotel @ Jalan Raja – One of the oldest and most iconic ‘kopitiam’ in Teluk Intan.

Fresh from a satisfying slumber at Grand Court Hotel, we forced ourselves to wake up to the bright sunshine peering through the gaps between the room’s violet curtains. The image of a beautiful morning was outside our windows; serenaded by sounds of chirping birds and the tranquil tone set by the Perak river flowing within a short distance away.

Day One was packed with street food adventures and small walks around town. Imagine a town square lined with layers of heritage shophouses (no doubt housing grandiose stories behind their existence since pre-colonial days) surrounding the landmark of Teluk Intan; Menara Condong aka The Leaning Tower.

And so, what did we do on our second day? Read the rest of this entry »

Motormouth’s Travel Ideas – Teluk Intan (Day One)

November 6, 2012 | 29,047 views

Teluk Intan Collage 1

Teluk Intan – The third largest town in the state of Perak

Can you smell it? The year end holidays are just looming beyond the horizon. School holidays starting in 4 days, and next week we have not one but TWO public holidays within the same week. Talk about productivity boost. 😉

Naturally, with about a month and a half of break (for the younger ones, that is), planning for one flawless year end trip for the entire family can be a pain.

Hotels charging premium rates for Super Peak season, last minute flights to international destinations costing almost twice (if not thrice!) as much, and human congestion at an all-time high in conventional tourist picks.

Menara Condong Teluk Intan

And then, there’s Motormouth’s Travel Ideas. I don’t deny that I too, enjoy traveling. It broadens one’s horizons (or horizontally, depending on how optimistic you are) and create a common platform to brag share travel stories and tips.

But aside from arranged itineraries and tediously crafted plans, why not consider road trips and impromptu escapades? Gather a group of gung-ho travelers/adventurers, drive or hop on a public transport (not really recommended unless you really, really know the routes around the smaller towns) and go crazy.

Like how we did in Teluk Intan (Diamond Bay). Don’t faint, but almost 40 photos ahead. Let’s go! Read the rest of this entry »

Teluk Intan Nasi Pulut & Buntong Beef Noodles @ New Weng Fatt, Ipoh

June 23, 2009 | 3,459 views
Some might be wondering why there’s a vacuum, a dearth of sorts, in posts on Teluk Intan food. While Sitiawan’s/Manjung’s food got the MOST coverage as of late (for reasons undisclosed), even Ipoh’s very own lip-smacking goodies took a backseat.
Come to think of it, there’s probably NO post at all on Teluk Intan’s food here on Motormouth From Ipoh. Hmm … I gotta repent for my sins. Someday.
Meanwhile, feel free to submit your recommendations for any yummy Teluk Intan food (EXCEPT for Gulam Rasul, THAT famous Liew Kee Chee Cheong Fun, Ah Chai Rojak, and Mastan Ghani) that I may not have knowledge of.
Here’s KC in action. Glorified.
That’s why I’m making it up with this combination of a post. Killing two birds with one stone, if you will. Firstly, hands up anyone who have heard about Teluk Intan Nasi Pulut (Glutinous Rice) with Prawn, Barbecued Pork (Char Siew), and Curry?
If your hand (or hands, in fits of excitement) shot up faster than Schumacher’s adrenaline-charged acceleration, then I can almost guess your age. LOL. I said almost, ok? Read the rest of this entry »

The Ugly Nasi Kandar in Old Town, & The Imported Teluk Intan Chee Cheong Fun

February 24, 2009 | 11,067 views
Imagine to circle endlessly around the perimeter of the famed (maybe over-rated) coffee shops in Old Town serving those inimitable (doubtful?) cups of white coffee …. Then by a stroke of luck, you finally manage to find a parking spot out of nowhere, either double-parking, or illegal parking (who cares, right? …. but one note of warning though, the officers in blue work EXTRA hard around this area, mainly cz IPD (Police HQ) & Majlis Perbandaran also located nearby only ma… no need to ride out to oblivion to achieve daily quota of summons!)
Direct competitors side by side. Which would YOU choose?
Then after punching your fist repeatedly in the air, you strut your stuff and walked over to Nam Heong, Sin Yoon Loong or Sun Yuan Foong (bitter rivals ….. a fight to the finish’s at hand!) only to discover that the place’s crowded to the max! Holds true on most days, especially weekend mornings and public holidays. You can either kiss your white coffee goodbye, wait for aeons for a table (even more troublesome if you decided to bring your whole busload of relatives) or …. you can set up your own tables/chairs. But of course, don’t try this and credits to yours truly lah … =P
This Indian uncle VERY eloquent in conversing in Cantonese! It’s almost funny. Read the rest of this entry »

A Pre-CNY Post : (Not The) Teluk Intan’s Famous Chee Cheong Fun & Lana Tea House

January 24, 2009 | 8,010 views
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!! Ushering in the Year of The Ox, let’s hope all things auspicious come our way, and may there be an endless slew of fantastic restaurants opening soon in good ol’ Ipoh ……

Or I can be delusional. But still, one can be hopeful, ya? ……

The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Not!!!
Still embracing the holidays in all its glory, I’m suffering from writer’s block. Thus, might as well write bout something recent, to minimize diminishing of my already declining grey matters.

Suddenly … we felt so out of place…. =P
The other day our excursion (1st REAL travelling for 2009!) took us to Teluk Intan, and Hutan Melintang. Never heard of them? The former may ring a bell with most, as Teluk Intan is one of Perak’s larger town, aside from Ipoh, Taiping, Seri Manjung and Sitiawan. And foodies will relate the town with its famous Chee Cheong Fun (stuffed with dried shrimps, and liberately drizzled/doused with oil), Hiong Peng (courtesy of Sin Joo Heong, with a branch in Ipoh even), Ah Chai rojak (famous for its sweet sauce, yet nothing spectacular), Gulam Rasul and Mastan Ghani (both being Malay-Mamak outlets), etc etc …..
Chee Cheong Fun – NOT the famous Teluk Intan one from the factory, but different from Ipoh’s nevertheless
Bear in mind Hutan Melintang is NOT a forest, nor it’s beyond civilization. It’s a small town, right after Teluk Intan, on the way to Sabak Bernam, Sekinchan, and Kuala Selangor. Any idea? But foodwise, I faltered, hence the breakfast and lunch in Teluk Intan instead.
Initially planned for breakfast at Teck Kee Foodstuff (on Jalan Raja) that supposedly serves the REAL deal, CCF from the famous factory, which btw, opens ONLY from evening onwards. But due to the CNY season, Teck Kee chose to display ornaments and festivities galore, than seating area for food. No CCF. =(
But all’s not lost, as opposite the road at a corner houses a classic coffee shop named Keng Heng, with patronage from mostly the elder ones. OK, so maybe it’s a working day, and who else got time for a cuppa other than the retired ones, and (loyal) civil servants like us. =)
The broth’s so clear, you’d be thinking this bowl of noodles would be perfect for one feeling under the weather
The shop houses 3 stalls; One selling Wantan Noodles, another selling erm, Noodles in Soup with Condiments (refer pic above) and a third one dealing with … what else? CCF!
I was initially stumped as the auntie was packing up and preparing to close. FINISHED?!!! Shucks …. But auntie was kind enough to let me have a packet of CCF, that she’s packed for someone, I guess. Hahaha …
It’s different from the usual CCF. And yet, different from even the Teluk Intan’s famous one. Instead of rolling the rice noodles up to be served, the noodles are served just like how Ipohans have them; merely chopped up, and with green chillies, fried shallots, and lots (I mean, LOTS!) of dried shrimps. That’s it. No sauce at all, aside from soy sauce. A bit dry to be taken, hence I requested for chilli sauce. Not bad, but the noodles is not as smooth as I like them though.
TallGal’s bowl of noodles in soup, with Char Siew, Siew Yoke and Chicken looked …. a little too healthy. But I didn’t hear her complaining, so should be good as a tummy-filler, before lunch.
Location : Keng Heng Coffee Shop @ 42, Jalan Raja, 36000 Teluk Intan.
And talkin bout lunch ……
Lana Tea House @ Taman Indah Jaya
Rather secluded, behind a row of shops off Jalan Sultan Abdullah, is this quaint tea house-cum-cafe-cum-restaurant. It’s pitch black inside. OK, maybe not as dark, but the dim lighting was a huge contrast to the sunny weather. You can’t even determine whether this place is open or closed, judging from the non-existent of signs on the outside. Just push your luck, and push the doors open. 😉

Spaghetti with Chicken Meat (RM6.50)

Seafood Fried Rice (RM6)

Sambal Squid Rice (RM5)

Prices are dirt cheap. For less than RM10 per pax, one can get a satisfying meal plus drinks. The choices varied from the usual fried rice and noodles, to spaghetti and salads, as well as chops and desserts. All reasonably-priced, and the quality ain’t too shabby either.
The fried rice was surprisingly good, each grain fried with sufficient ‘wok hei’, maintaining the fluffiness of the grains. With ingredients such as squids, prawns, etc, the portion’s not stingy either. The sambal squid was spicy, unexpectedly. The squids were good, fresh, bouncy and served generously. The spaghetti was …. well, like the norm. Don’t expect the sky when you’re paying rockbottom prices.
*Pardon the pics as the interior was way too dark for my phonecam.
Location : Lana Tea House @ No 1, Jalan Teratai J4/8, Taman Indah Jaya, 36000 Teluk Intan, Perak. Tel No : 605- 621 8996.
Motormouth wishes those who celebrate, and those who ‘tumpang’ holidays, a very, very Happy Chinese New Year !!!
