Windmill - Steak-house in Subang

An old and rather homely steak house located in Subang ... Across the road from SJMC. Food is average, but I like the 'old school' nature of the decor. The steak was over-done, as was the beef, but it was a great value set ... Clam Chowder, Prawn Cocktail, Steak with Lamb on a Hot Plate, scoop of Strawberry Icecream, AND tea as well. The ala-carte French Onion soup, and Nonya Chicken was rather good too. I liked the warm bread-rolls too!

Ipoh ... a couple of sights

Drove past Yik Foong and got a rush of nostalgia ... of the days when I paid 10 bucks to have a cassette tape (Yes.. CASSETTES!) recorded with a bunch of songs, such as 'Rock Me Amadeus' by Falco and 'Cheri Cheri Lady' by Modern Talking, and the like ...



Times certainly have changed ... there are even 'modern kopi tiams' in Ipoh Old Town now, but the business here is no where as bustling as Thean Chun - Kong Hing opposite!

Botanik Restaurant, Klang

Dinner at a local restaurant ... Service was slow, and the food was average. Enjoyed the Fried rice (Though there was a little too much salted fish bits) and Tapioca-leaf stir fried vege. But, the Cha Choy Soup was dissapointingly lacking in flavour (and too much pepper), and the Marmite Pork (was too 'soft', and poor marmite flavour). Damage was RM$31.

Funny Mountain Soya Bean ... Exquisite! Ipoh

This is the BEST soya-bean, and Wen Tziang and I concur on this fact! Simply exquisite ... The smoothness of the Tau Foo Fah is incomparible (especially when one has it Pak-tong-Pak / 'White with White'), simply BRILLIANT! Also enjoyed the Soya-Cincau aka Michael Jackson aka Hak-tong-Pak (Black and White).
If only it was possible to do a side-by-side shootout between ...
Funny Mountain IPOH v Rochor Original Beancurd SINGAPORE !


Very useful information from Sun2Surf.com ...
HISTORY :
THE Tan brothers have been churning out two goodies Ipoh seems to be associated with – soyabean milk and curd – since the early 1950s. Product and service quality have remain unchanged. You can either stop your vehicle in front of the stall, signal a little and the workers will deliver your orders. Or walk to the stall and get your drinks after a short wait.
SPECIALITIES :
(1) Soyabean milk (tau cheong sui). Smooth and thick; one glass is obviously not enough
(2) Soyabean curd (taufu fah). Try mixing it with soyabean milk or cincau
(3) Cincau (lengkong). Try mixing with soyabean
INSIDER TIP aka COURTESY:
If you want to mix soyabean milk with soyabean curd, say "pak pak" (white and white). If you want to mix soyabean and cincau say "hak pak" (black and white). If you want to mix the three, just say, "sam yeong cham" (mix three types). This is to avoid confusion as Tan has to deal with many customers.
LOCATION AND TELEPHONE:
Along Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar, 30300 Ipoh, Perak (near to the Tanjung Rambutan taxi stand)

Thean Chun and Kong Heng Coffeeshop, Ipoh

A perennial family favourite, and this sentiment is certainly shared with all my friends who visit ... Jack & I reckon this may be the MOST FAMOUS coffeeshop in the country. Care to differ? I will let the photos do the talking ... simply exquisite (Especially the kai-see hor fun / shredded chicken noodles with beansprouts! And the Pork Satay too)

Address: 73 Jalan Bandar Timah (former Leech Street), Ipoh

Directions: The coffee shop in the old part of Ipoh town... If you come in from the new town, turn right at the first junction after crossing the Kinta River... The coffeeshop is on the second block on the left...
