#84 Chang Jiang White Coffee (江氏白咖啡)


The Ipoh food journey resumes with a another rather late visit to a white coffee joint - Chang Jiang White Coffee (江氏白咖啡).



Savour a warm cup of rich and creamy white coffee with mouth-watering dim-sum selections, a genuine Ipoh experience to remember.

#83 肥仔云吞面 (Fei Zai Wonton Noodles)

Hey guys!

As starter for my Ipoh foodie instalment, and if by chance any of you dear readers happen to be travelling around the Bercham suburb, do drop by this excellent noodle stall at Kedai Kopi Hup Huat.



A humble family business run by my grand-aunt,  肥仔云吞面, or Fatty Wonton Noodles as translated, specialises in freshly-prepared, home-cooked Chinese traditional dishes.


While duck meat dishes are the main highlight here, do sample these delicious braised pork goodness too: pork ribs and leg.

Far right: Chicken Feet (RM  4.00 with noodles)



It was a crowded weekend at Ipoh when we visited my great-aunt's stall for breakfast, people can be seen having their morning dose of white coffee, which is a quintessential part for the locals to start their day.

Duck Leg (RM 7.00 with noodles)
Soft and succulent, the duck leg is the pièce de résistance among the delicacies. Take a sip of the aromatic broth for that extra 'oomph'!

From left: Ginger Duck and Pork Leg (Each RM 5 with noodles)
Thanks to the pungent zest the ginger slices infused, the ginger-braised duck meat emanates tinge of exotic flavour coupled with the mild ginger spiciness. The pork leg on the other hand is a delightful dish that's special in its own way - a sweet and spicy kind of saucy awesomeness.

From left: Pork Ribs (RM 5 with noodles)  and Curry Chicken (RM 4.30 with noodles).
Next, we had the scrumptious pork ribs and the oh so fragrant curry chicken. With such scent to die for, I'm very sure that the curry chicken is a great complement with the dry noodles.

From left: Water Dumplings & Wonton Assortment and BBQ Pork.

Of course, no wonton noodles stall is complete without its usual suspects of smooth-textured, meat-loaded water dumplings and chewy char siew (BBQ pork)...

Left: Chicken Leg (RM 7,00 with noodles)
Another highlight seems to be the chicken leg served in herbal soup. Not really a keen chicken leg diner myself, I must say that the herbal soup is pretty good.

Notable mentions: Roast Pork from local wet market and of course, white coffee!

So, there you go the first recommended spot to go for an authentic Chinese meal around Bercham, Ipoh.

Big thanks to my great-aunt and her family for receiving us with such warm hospitality and do feel free to visit us when you're in town. ;)

#79 POKC (People of Kheng Chew)


Another set of long lost snapshots retrieved from the data archive, POKC, short for People of Kheng Chew, revels the Hainanese heritage and roots with its delightful culinary menu.


Situated at Damansara Uptown, POKC is a beauty. Minimalist design with a touch of exquisite industrial-look, the modern interpretation of furnitures is written all across the two-floor cafe.












Cappuccino (RM 10, Pre-Opening Special Price: RM 6) 
Pulled by the very friendly and attentive head barista Sima, the cappuccino of Papa Palheta's Throwback blend was a pleasant cup.

Hainanese Grilled Koi (RM 18)
Hainanese-style grilled chicken topped with cheese and Orlando cheese sauce. The grilled chicken is tender and juicy, but the cheese sauce tasted a bit too watery to me.
