Maysin By The Road Side

Since Andy had a week holiday from his college, I took him out for dinner, eating here and there until I really don't know where to go already. No doubt Ipoh is famous for Food, I still find it difficult to look for some new place to go.... until my bestie mentioned Ipoh old town area...

She told me that this open air restaurant serves not-too-bad food... but after tasting, I find it not-to0-good either... maybe the price is a bit expensive.....

Let's scroll the pictures and see for yourself
whether the price is reasonable or not...
the shop along Tun Sambanthan Road
along the RHB old town
and just opposite the CIMB....

along the road side in the evening...
looks familiar now?

didn't know that the HSBC looks so nice at night...

but on the left side, a bit eye sore...
old town buildings...

for us... first time sitting here by the road side...
and now the dishes...

fish in assam sauce...

their signature dish - stir fry chicken cubes...

as usual.... clams in ginger...

followed by a dish of greens... mini sprouts..

4 dishes came to RM73 with 4 bowls of rice
plus lemon juice drinks...
Is it expensive?
I feel it is a bit over-priced...

  3. No lah!!! The plates were huge, got fish some more... Not expensive lah. And from your photos, they all look sooooo delicious.

    Aiyor!!! The city council should do something to restore the buildings lah...or the YBs in the city must push for some things to be done. Look so terrible, will give a bad impression to visitors. Come, come and see Sibu... So very nice. Hehehehehe!!!!!

  17. The food looks kind of good, but I love your night pictures of the street, very pretty. I bet it was fun to sit outside and looks at all that while you ate. The weather was good? But as usual, I don't know what your money is!!

  24. BF: if RM60, then reasonable...


    cloudia: thanks!


    armstrong: depending on where you live..if big cities, then the price is reasonable..if small towns, then considered expensive..

  25. With such a huge plate of fish dish, I think it consider reasonable liao, here cin cai they will charge more thn RM100. The spread of food looks delicious too!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The dishes look appealing, especially assam fish and stir fry chicken. But got to agree it was over-priced, for the ambience you get there :p

    ReplyDelete
  27. Er, is the fish fried first before pouring the sauce? Or is it steamed?

    ReplyDelete
  28. The food looks delicious and I think the price is reasonable. I seldom go to town. I try to avoid the jam. Parking is also difficult in town so mostly eat around PJ only but your photos of the food makes me want to make a trip there.

  29. Very cheap i can say.

    Just now, i eat one plate of chicken salad, one paste and 1 cup of tea.

    Cost me - RM85.

    Somemore, i am VERY sure that meal cannot compare with de meal you took. It is 100 times better than here.

  30. gosh, isn't it dangerous to eat by the roadside? this is the main road in old town right?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Haha! Totally agree...even though there are a lot of good food in Ipoh, I also find it difficult to look for place for makan sometimes. Well, the price is a bit too much but I'm getting used to it now that I'm in KL...inflation I guess...haha!!
