Ipoh Food In Gourmet Square, Ipoh Garden

We reached Ipoh around 6pm, rested for an hour or so before we adjourned for our dinner.  My friend wanted to go to our "old place" (loe tei fong) in Ipoh Garden.  Yes, we gathered at Gourmet Square for our light dinner.... It is our old place because we first started to come by here during the 1970s..... It was called "Mushroom Stop" then... (Tung Ku Teng) ... 
We ordered just a few varieties cos we wanted to go for our second round dinner in town...  
Sotong with Kangkung... 
I was told that the sauce is made from pumpkin....
No wonder so nice.....
Hongkong Chee Cheong Fun...
Melts in the mouth... trust me! 
hahahahaa...
A bowl of mixed vegetables with fish paste...
Oyster crabs... 1kg.. RM50
Tasty but a bit spicy...
Next time I must tell them to lessen the chilli....
 We are light eaters, right?
Cos we were thinking of going to town for something special...
But unfortunately, it was not opened...
We decided to go home...
There were still much catching up to do in the room...
*Slumber Party* for the girls!

  1. Ahh I miss HK style Cheong Fun!! This one looks plenty good! I used to have it when I was still living in KL, the pasar near my home has a stall that sells a very awesome one. Nowadays when I go back, my mom will complain about me being fatsss and the only breakfast I get is fruit blended juices and whole wheat organic bread. In Penang need to go to the dimsum places super early, if you go to Maxim at 8AM like me, they are usually sold out :(

    1. I really got to laugh when you mentioned your mom complained you are fatssss... hahaha.. can eat means prosperity, as Chinese used to say... but you are very blessed.. can get fresh fruit juices.. that is really healthy! Maxim? I have been there several times.. you should try their fried rice at 11am.. very fragrant!

  2. Not a fan of sotong kangkung, but I like that soup with fish paste. Ching ching dei, I like.. Dont like 'dry' crabs. Prefer the 'wet' ones with lots of butter gravy and can dip and eat with fried mantou..

  4. All the food looks so tempting but the crabs I give it a pass as I find it very troublesome to eat.

  10. Oh, I like to eat sotong kangkung and the vege in the fish paste bowl. I love to eat crabs too but then too lazy to eat them so I think it has been a year since I last ate them. This is a food court, right?

    1. Yes, this food court is very busy during the weekends...

  11. This reminds me of the Open Air Market in Kuching, one of those places in the 70's for young people to gather and hang out and eat - http://suituapui.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/open-air/
    It certainly looks very popular still - so many people. Ooooo....lovely crabs.

    Sure is nice to get together with old friends and go raun raun (Sarawak Malay for round round) and catch up with one another, recalling the good old days. I really enjoy that so much. Great...with new(er) friends too. Hint! Hint!
