Different Taste In Astro

"Different Taste" Eatery Shop...
this picture depicts the direct translation

Last night we had our dinner here, my evergreen classmate from Rawang came to visit me yesterday and together with another classmate and my kids, we went to this shop in Bercham. The name of the shop, Different Taste means u cannot get their dishes elsewhere... something like that, something is different here and they are famous for their claypot dishes.

While waiting for our turn, (it was quite crowded) it is capturing time with my camera... Can u see AhZian behind? I mean his image poster la..
My "brother" and "sister"
ahem... cough cougghhhh..
someone reading this said "Cis!"

our favorite dish

clams or lala as we called it..

their signature dish.. "Sar Chui" fish
crispy fried till head and tail also walloped!

some spinach to balance up...

their signature toongfun with fishlets
this is a MUST! The soup is very nice..wine-based...
and first time we ordered this crab rice..
the aroma of the crabs being absorbed by the rice..

The price came to RM126!!
We feel it was a bit pricey though
Well, what to expect?
Anything recommended on Astro already
will be more expensive than before, right?

I wanna eat that Lala. :D

Tarts and Pies said...

RM126 is considered quite reasonable by looking at the type of dish ordered. My whole family had dinner at the same restaurant 5 years ago. We only ordered 'Tung Fun Hai' and several ordinary dishes and the bill was RM99.

tekkaus: mari to ipoh.. lots of lala..


mingna: that shop is actually charging quite costly... maybe now more famous?

Caroline Ng May Ling said...

cleff: try to eat and try everything, u will get used to it.. :p ... now u r mummy.. any vege also must try, ok? :p

suituapui said...

What fish is that? Ikan lumek - the ones with little2 bones that they say can be eaten?

Food looks really good...but the name! If I say, "Eeee...ikan ini rasa lain lah!!!", it probably means it has spoilt...and has a peculiar taste! LOL!!!

claire said...

STP: i am not sure of the name.. ikan apa.. but they were so crispy that u can eat the head and tail minus the backbone, of course, unless u have sharp teeth to grind them! but the name.. yeah Rasa Lain...in chinese is Taste Not Same..hahaha.. so meaning u cannot get this type of taste elsewhere. The food does rather taste peculiar though..now come to think of it! :p

So long didn't buy Sar chui fish to cook already.....lots of work preparing the fish one by one to fry....LOL!
Will check out this place when in Bercham next time. Agree, the price is a bit pricey for an eatery in IPOH

Jeannie said...

Wow for that price, it's a steal! You certainly can't get it KL! I want those crabs:D

reanaclaire said...

alv: actually i only know of a few shops here in ipoh that offers some tasty food.. still learning from other food bloggers..


pete: yeah, i think this type of fish is cheap in the market, only that i seldom buy too cos must be lots of oil and eat instantly.. otherwise not so nice..


jeannie: steal? hahaha.. then do come by to Ipoh...
