Jalan2 Cari Makan @ Ipoh 1 Sep 2017

We woke up quite early in the morning. Daddy drove us to Jalan Bandar Timah, which is just along the famous Concubine lane. We decided to have our breakfast at Restoran Kopi Kong Heng.

We arrived around 7.00am. There were not so crowded yet, and the food stalls just started began their business. We managed to find table and chairs. After half an hour, the crowd started to flood in.

Kong Heng is ever so popular with the locals and tourists alike. Getting a table here is no easy feat, one has to be ruthless and prey like a hungry vulture.

We ordered the ever famous Ipoh Sar Hor Fun, Pork Ribs Wanton Mee, Bak Chang and Dumpling Soup.

Kong Heng and it's next door neighbour Restoran Thean Chun, has been around since the 60s and still serves up the whole plethora of great local food till today.

People from all over come to Ipoh for their famous hor fun, chee cheong fun, white coffee, pork satay, popiah and Kong Heng is the one-stop place to start all your food adventures in Ipoh.

Then we went for some egg tarts at Egg Tarts King. They serve Portuguese egg tarts, normal and pandan egg tarts, and also siew pau. It is really nice, and crispy on the pastry crusts, and the egg is so smooth and soft.

We left around 8.00am and headed to our destination at Gunung Rapat to visit the caves temples: Ling Sen Tong Temple, Nan Tian Tong Temple, Sam Poh Tong Temple and Kuan Yin Tong Temple.

We spent almost 2 hours there and went for our next food hunt at Restoran Chong Kee (Tai Shu Kiok) located Kampung Pasir Pinji. This is the place for Yong Tau Foo in Ipoh. It is called Tai Shu Kiok because it is just under a huge tree.

There is an impressive selection for you to choose from and you just join the queue and patiently wait your turn.

We were considered lucky as we managed to find a parking with paying some parking fee, we managed to find a table with chairs as we shared with an old local uncle.

The first impression of the whole Restaurant really shocked me a little, as every where is full of people and they were standing just beside the table just next to you!

Actually you can order laksa, or other types of noodles to go with Yong Tau Foo, but we did not order any of the noodles as we were still full.

The fish paste used in the making of the Yong Tau Foo screams homemade, and the pieces are not miniature in size either.

They are stuffed to the brim, ensuring bang for your bucks. But really, go for anything … they’re all good.

After we just went to the next stall for the drinks and shave ice desserts, especially in this hot weather.

We headed to Ipoh Parade again today for 2nd movie, which is the children’s favourite “ Cars 3”.

It is really a nice movie! After the movie, we back to Jalan Bandar Timah again around 4.00pm, now is to visit the Concubine lane.

There were a lot of tourists around that small lane and the surrounding area! We took selfie at the Concubine Lane 2 and Concubine Lane 3 which is decorated with a lot of white and red umbrellas a long the lane.

It is quite a shock to us that the whole back lane has changed to a very commercial, compacted with a lot of small business kiosks. I can not see the architecture of the colonial building at that back lane any more. Only people, people and more people!

It is quite disappointing! It is so much difference during the time we visited last year! But this time, we managed to snap some nice photos with the 3D mural walls along the streets and shops.

We had our dinner at the famous Michelangelo's Pizzeria. We did not know that the restaurant have so many waiting rules.

We arrived early as around 5.15pm, we were thinking of want to use the toilet then we can wait for the kitchen to open at 6.00pm.

While, the owner is an American and he told us that we have to wait outside the shop as they are still preparing in the restaurant. We did not expect this at all. So arrogant!

Any how, we came back nearly 5.40pm and there were people already sitting on the bench outside. We joined the queue. There were more and more behind us.

The theme of this restaurant is American Rock n Roll, it is just like drinking beer in the pub, with the loud music.

We did not manage get to see the kitchen. At last, we have been ursher and seated to a table, and the menu was given.

The serve 16 inches pizza which comes in pork, chicken, tuna and vegetarian pizza but the choice is not really many though.

However, we suppose that the main pizza is pork pizza as we can see from the menu that more than half of the choices are pork pizza.

So we only order pork pizza. We choose for Bacon and Egg pizza and Hog Extreme pizza in one, and, there is no extra charge.

The Bacon and Egg pizza is is topped with streaky bacon and then 2 eggs are cracked on it and then was grilled to just right with the cheese is still springy and the eggs are half cooked.

The texture is so fluffy and the eggs is still watery like half-boiled egg that we always eat.

From the name Hog Extreme we must have known that the pork meat used must be very much.

The topping is so generous that covers almost the whole surface of the pizza.

Every bites also full of meat. If you are a meat lover, like me, this must be a must order pizza.

Well… both pizzas were so cheesy and we were really feel full having 1pc 16” pizza for total 4 of us.

After which we went back to hotel to rest. Daddy and Issac did come out again in the night to walk around at Gerbang Malam again.

They bought us salt baked chicken from Happy Delicious Salt Baked Chicken for supper.

It was tasty and salted to the core of the chicken. The juicy meat practically falls off the bone, with flavours infused heavily with salt and herbs.

We were so into the chicken until forgot about taking photos!

Well… This is the last night of our short trip in Ipoh! It is a Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan trip.
