IPOH Makan-makan Weekend part 2

Dinner! We headed for Ipoh’s renown
Tauge (Bean sprout) Chicken – Lou Wong or Onn Kee, Jln Yau Tet Shin
We couldn’t decide which to go for so at a local’s recommendation, went for Onn Kee.

A friend later told us he prefers Lou Wong but someone else also mentioned another name as the ori-original...

We were afraid rice would be too filling, so decided to have kueh teow soup instead with our chicken.

The tauge was awesome – look how they’re short and fat (juicy & crunchy) instead of the usual long and lanky.


The chicken however was a bit of a disappointment.

Apart from the taste that was nothing out of the ordinary, I found the chicken rough and full of fats.

Opposite Onn Kee we discovered a bakery with very cute stuff.

This was my reaction to the biscuits hahaaa... No, this is supposedly a monkey.

The figurine biscuits came with a choice of red bean or lotus paste and cost RM2 each. The taste however, was not as good as the looks so we were quite disappointed.

We had to walk around and allow our food to digest before we go for dessert and found another confectionary shop.

Biskut Sin Eng Heong, Jln Mustapha Al-Bakry
We discovered, is popular for its kaya kok (kaya triangles), which sold like hot cakes. (Kaya is a sweet paste made of coconut) Since we were already there, we decided to pick up some other popular Ipoh biscuits.
We also bought some heong peng (literally – “fragrant biscuits” slightly crunchy crusts filled with a gluey sweet paste) and dau sa peng (green bean biscuits) which were really yummy! Be warned though, this confectionary uses lard in its products.

Confectionary fresh from the ovens

Took a peep into the back and found the biscuits are made in the shop itself.

Some biscuits that looked and smelled too good to resist!
