Older And Wiser Kopitiam At Bandar Baru Menglembu, Ipoh

My eyes sparkled at the pictures which my friend, May Tan, posted up recently in her Facebook and they got me smitten... She used to tell me that whenever food is the topic, my eyes will sparkle!  hahahaa.. That is her way of describing my passion for food.  Am I really that obvious?  In cantonese, it is called "Wai Sik" meaning I like to eat anything edible!

Back to the topic... since I did not know where the place was, she took the trouble to wait for me at the Farlim traffic light and from there, she led us to this place called Older & Wiser Kopitiam in Menglembu.... it was lunch time when we reached and we had to wait for a short while before we were seated.  We didn't order much because we were still full from our breakfast....
Wanton Noodles....
Roasted duck to go with the noodles or rice...
Roasted and BBQ Pork...
Crispy and sweet....
These suit me real fine... not too fat and not too lean...
A small bowl of "Chap Choy"
Very nicely done!
For the three of us, the bill came to RM29 with drinks.
I think it is not too expensive...
Heard that the Nasi Lemak is also nice here...
So I think we will come back again for sure!


Here is the address... 
No. 17, Persiaran Kledang Timur 21, 
Bandar Baru Menglembu, 31450 Ipoh, Perak.

    Did you all finish the chap choy? Those that I ate before are very sour and spicy. Is it very sour and spicy for yours?

    The roast pork looks crispy, Claire! I also find it strange to have taugeh in the wanton mee.
