Ipoh- Tong Sui Gai (糖水街), Sin Yuan Hong (新源丰)

- December 14, 2016

I've always wanted to visit Ipoh althought I already went there twice this year. It's all because of the food there. I crave for food easily and I really craved for the kopi ping from Nam Heong. There're many posts from facebook that recommend us what to eat in Ipoh, guess I was influenced by these posts which caused me to have the urge to visit Ipoh again. Other than good food, another motive of mine was to make vlog on Ipoh food.

1. Tong Sui Gai (糖水街 Dessert Street)

By the time we reached Ipoh it's already night time so we went for supper at Tong Sui Gai (糖水街 Dessert Street). Tong Sui Gai is a row of around 50++ hawker stalls serving a variety of authentic food including snacks and desserts. We can definitely tell why it's always crowded here after trying the food. Not only the food here are mouthwatering, the prices are affordable as well. We ordered Jap Gor Bing (什果冰 Mixed Fruits with Shaved Ice). It's a bowl of mixed fruits (watermelon, papaya, honeydew, dragonfruit, jackfruit), jelly with some peanut and an optional ice cream as toppings. We also ordered black sesame seed soup and bubur chacha. The black sesame seed soup was just to my liking.

2.Sin Yuan Hong (新源丰)

We chose to have our breakfast here for the Ipoh-style breakfast. I ordered the typical one which was 2 half boiled eggs served on top of toast and a cup of authentic white coffee. My trip companions ordered yin yong toast (鸳鸯烤面包), which was toast spread with kaya and butter. We also tried the chee cheong fun (猪肠粉) . Chee Cheong Fun was served with sweet sauce and chilli sauce, had fried shallots, sesame seeds and pickled green chillies as toppings.
