The new house that my in-laws are about to move-in

Being in Ipoh, the signature dish, Ipoh 'ngar choi kai' at the well-known Lou Wong Restaurant is surely not to be missed. Though I don't normally fancy chicken rice, but this is an exceptional. I just love the tenderness of the chicken soaked in soya sauce served with silky smooth 'hor fun'. Love it!!!


The next day, we were in 'Tai Su Thau' in the afternoon for a must-have Ipoh 'yong tau foo'. The place was filled with hungry patrons waiting to get their shares of 'yong tau foo's. Freshly fried 'yong tau foo's to be dipped in their home-made chilli sauce served with 'lou shu fun' and a glass of icy cold red bean sherbet were in-deed a superb combination.

At night, we headed to a weekly pasar malam in Bercham. Fuhh!!!.....plenty choices of food, lots of people and not to mentioned, pretty gals too.......hehe. Food wise, it tasted averagely but value for money and worth to be given a try.

Chinese hamburger with choice fillings of ham, hot dog or chicken floss - RM 1.50/piece

Shark fins soup - RM 3.50/bowl

Assorted cakes - RM 5 for 3 pieces

Persimmons - 16 for RM 10

From Ipoh, we drove for about an hour towards south to Sg Klah Hot Springs Park, located in Sungkai, is a place where you can dip yourself in hot therapeutic springs pool. If you don't like it hot, you may choose to swim around in cool mountain springs pool with water slides to add some thrill in it. For those who don't like to get wet, you may try out their traditional ayurvedic massage. Remember to buy some eggs from stalls there or probably sneak-in some.....hehe (as outside food or drinks are not allowed) to be boiled in the piping hot springs water in a designated boiling spot.

I wish I have a bigger space in my stomach because there are just too many good food that I have yet to savour here in Ipoh. Meanwhile, the Sg Klah Hot Springs Park can be an excellent get-together place for families who are looking for a peaceful and relaxing outing. The only set back for this balik kampung trip is.......my wife and I might have gain another few more pounds...... Damn!!!..... LOL
