  Warrens of Gastronomic delights in Kinta Valley, Ipoh. Lee Heng Lye ,Jerry . On my trip back to JB from Perlis during   my Jan 2021 trip , I decided to break the journey at   Ipoh because I wanted to see Ipoh as well as to get a good night rest. I told the taxi driver at Amanjaya Bus Interchange in Ipoh to bring me to a hotel smack in the centre of the best restaurants in Ipoh. He lamented that this is not his job but I threatened not to pay him if he brought me to a bad location. He brought me to Jalan   Seenivasagam in Ipoh. True , there were many Chinese restaurants there and Excelsior Hotel stood   majestically at the end of the road. Opposite it is the famed, Overseas Chinese Restaurant. I couldn’t get a room at Excelsior so I checked in at Belmorris Greentown   Hotel.

  This mangrove nut with blackish flesh inside, when mixed with tamarind paste and other spices make a very unique local Singaporean dish. Cooked with chicken, pork or even duck meat.

JB BEST EATING PLACES

  The Best food in JB Town. Singaporeans or for that matter Malaysians too crave for good food. I found an enclave in JB Town worth exploring for its delightfully good food. It is in the old quarters of Jalan Hock Ngee, Jalan Dboby, Jalan Trus and Jalan Segget. Old Shophouses dot the landscape interspersed with some high rises like the Menara MCA and UTC. Yes, it is in the vicinity of the Indian town and the town Indian temple and Sikh temple. At night there is a night bazaar named Pasar Karat meaning Rusted Market literally.The most famous restaurant of which is the Hua Mui coffeeshop on Jalan Trus. This is a Hainanese shop specialising in Western Dishes like Chicken Chop, Lamb Chop, Fish and Chips as well as famous Hainanese dishes like The Hainanese Pork Chop and Hor Fun. Their cousin has set up another shop named IT Roo   up on the adjoining street called Jalan Dhoby. IT ROO boasts of serving up the best Chicken chop in town. Up on Jalan Dhoby is also the old bakery that

Durian Clones

Image
 Durian is a unique fruit with custard like creamy flesh. The flesh with taste that is unique to each clone can range from mild bitter sweetness to winey taste. The smell to some is pungent and repulsive but it is certainly a strong smell. Chill it to let the fats solidify for a more creamy experience.

Sambal Belachan

  Sambal Belachan is so central as a condiment in every dish be it the Nasi Lemak or the Economic Bee Hoon or Mee.  A good sambal belachan leaves a wonderful aftertaste on your palate and sums up your umami moment.  Try concorting yours as I have tried to make mine.
