I bought a food guide to places to eat in Perak published by The Star, and although it seems a little strange to have a food guide to my own backyard, it only serves to re-affirm some of the places that I’ve been eating at for 20 over years.

Anyways, I went on a roadtrip during the weekend and if you are interested to know where and what I ate, here’s the list:

  • Wantan mee, Pun Chun, Bidor
  • Taugeh (beansprouts) chicken rice, Lou Wong, Ipoh
  • Tau foo fa, stall near Lou Wong, Ipoh
  • Pisang goreng (banana fritters, coated with sesame seed), stall near Petronas kiosk, Sri Iskandar
  • Cendol , James Cendol, Sitiawan
  • Seafood, Restoran Ah Pek Lee Kou Hock, Kampung Cina
  • Dark sauce noodles, Auntie Jenny’s,  Sri Manjung
  • Fresh water prawns, Lau Fong, Teluk Intan
  • Hawaiian Lamb Shoulder, Chicken and Apple Salad,  Al-Fresco, Teluk Intan

And yeah, whenever you’re in Teluk Intan and craving for some western food, head over to Al-Fresco, located along Jalan Changkat Jong, across the main road from the new Giant hypermarket. It’s the best in town.
