Ipoh Famous Bean Sprout & Chicken 芽菜鸡

I guess everyone heard about Ipoh Bean Sprout & Chicken 怡保芽菜鸡. I don't like it much even I'm from Ipoh, but I do visit this shop often with my family. This is another famous shop in Buntong, Ipoh for its bean sprout, chicken and noodles. If anyone asks me about our local food, I'll rather recommend this than the 老黄芽菜鸡 in town. I was told that this shop is owned by the 老黄's sister. Anyway, they both have different style in their food.

Fat and juicy Ipoh bean sprout

Fresh and smooth chicken meat

My dad's favourite chicken feet

Dry noodle ~ tasty, and best with kuey teow mee

I don't have its full address, but I can show you all the way there when you happen to visit Ipoh. What is a friend for then? We should always help each other right?

Indonesian Layer Cake

Layer cakes can be found in Malaysia too, but they are sold expensively. When I was in Bali, our tour guide stopped us at the local products shop. Layer cakes, biscuits and other local snacks were sold there. There were some free trial on the snacks too. Our children love the layer cakes. They nearly finished half of the cake! So embarrassing, like hungry children on the street. Maybe they were really very hungry that time because most of the time they could not eat the food in Bali because too spicy. They usually took white rice with some soup. Pity them.....

I bought two layer cakes in whole for my parents and parents-in-law since I like to eat too. Each cost only Rp. 8,000, which was approximately RM32. It was consider cheap, if compared with those sold in Malaysia. Just a packet of 6 pieces here already costs you RM5. I could cut this whole cake into more than 50 pieces!

Bad Comments For "Dragon Pearl Biscuit"

I love local products from Penang. These are the 3 types which I will always buy whenever I'm in Penang. Unfortunately this shop, "Dragon Pearl Biscuit" has left me some bad comments on it. I'll never buy biscuits from there anymore because I find them unfresh and bad taste! Not really the taste that I used to love. I still like these biscuits but I'll get those from Ghee Hiang or Yee Hiang next round. Just take this opportunity to show the products in Penang.



Above is the biscuit that I love. It's originally from Penang. We may find from other states as well, but the taste is totally different. How does it taste? Can see from the white sticky paste in there. It's sweet and chewy. Penang people named it 'Pong Pneah'.



This is another type called 'Tambun Pneah'. Actually this word, "Pneah" came from the Hokkien word, which means 'biscuit'. The content is made of green pea. Tastes salty and sweet as well. It's best served as snack during tea break.



This is my father's favourite, 'Hiong Pneah'. Its content is made of brown sugar. Don't judge by its colour. It tastes sweet and cruncy.
