at Oversea Restaurant in Ipoh
yes the original Oversea Restaurant is from IPOH and not KL
so it's alwiz a treat to dine at the original one :))))

the signature dish of Braised Sliced Pork Belly with Salted Fish in Claypot
super yums coz the sliced belly were crunchy, caramelised so a bowl of hot steamy rice is a must with this dish :)))))))))))))

the other signature dish which we didn't order is the Sweet Char Siew aka Barbecue Pork

this place is so classic.......and authentic :))))
reminiscence of the 80's

a nice hearty slow boiled soup :)))))))))))
comfort food

Homemade beancurd with petola
this is another must have

Ipoh is very famous for beancurd, toufu fah, etc
basically any soy produce

this is like braised hakka yong tou fu with stuffed minced pork, fish and prawn
then slowly braised in fermented soy bean paste

Funny Mountain Toufu Fah, Ipoh

Funny Mountain Toufu Fah has been in operation at the very same place since 1950
it's the best place for Soy products from the soya bean drinks to the soya bean curd

It is also our last stop usually before departing back home
must alwiz take-away the famous Ipoh salt baked chicken and this soya bean hehehehehe
there's a choice of dining...
either u have em in ur car...
just queue accordingly and someone will come and serve u

otherwise just walk over to this lil stall make ur order and have it there
u can also do take-away
service is fast and friendly

so for the first time we opted to "eat-in"
coz didn't wanna mess up someone's car(s) kekekekekeke

Prince C's natural skin color is so fair....thanks to loads of GOLF every single day
he's now more tanned than the construction workers outside :P
*well that applies to JS too*

no no no that's not the price for Soya bean nor Soya Bean Curd
can't be that expensive...
it's the price of Ipoh White coffee by the packs

While Prince C was comfortably seated waiting for his Toufu Fah
JS was bz walking around snapping pic
Monkey & Kee Kee had to queue up for food >_<

obliged a "smile" just for the photog

lotsa newspaper snippets which tell the story of Funny Mountain Toufu Fah
but I can't read chinese
apparently the soya beans were imported from Canada
so I supposed the secret lies in their process of making em?

heaven.......I'm in heaven~~~~~~~~~
RM 0.90 for a small bowl
it was silky smooth.....the moment u put the spoon into ur mouth.....
tilt the spoon a bit...the silky smooth soft Toufu Fah glides down into your tongue first...
before proceeding its journey all the way down ur throat into ur eppy stomach
too silky smooth I couldn't feel anything!!!!!!
one bowl ain't enuff!!!!!

eating among all the plastic bowls for take-aways
I like the wall....so rustic....

eh Mr. JS ar...this pic is so unflattering...
when Prince C sees this...he'll...... u :P
nobody likes to be photographed gobbling down food :P

Ah Lek Chee Cheong Fun, Teluk Intan

we were doin a pit stop at Teluk Intan to get the famous Chee Cheong Fun
which is a specialty of Teluk Intan
the place is supposed to be easy peasy but we were lost in the middle of the kampong
think we drove too deep in....coz 1 min away fr the famous Teluk Intan leaning tower is actually a really really big kampong.

so after lookin thru our GPS that shows we were in the middle of nowhere with no roads
how could that be??? we are on the road....BMW u need to update your GPS lar.
ishhhh.....

in the end we hailed a youth who was talkin on his mobile
"leng cai.......where is chee cheong fun ar?"
Leng Cai: "It's on the 3rd road...."

"errrrr 3rd road.....errrrrrrr where are we?"
Leng Cai: "I'll bring u.......follow my bike..."

and he drove off without his helmet at the beginning like Ekin Cheng in the HK movie "Young & Dangerous"
after shoving his hair a couple of times.....he put on his helmet again
we were ROTFLOL inside the car :P
hehehehehehhehehehehe
so sweet of him to bring us there lar :)))))))))))

ahhhh then we were at the factory!!!!
u can only do take away no dining in here....

it was already 9.30pm so peak hour was already gone but there's still a short queue
ppl packing in 50s 30s 20s never in 2 or 3 packs

it's a narrow corner lot of a wooden house which they converted to a chee cheong fun factory
the heat was quite unbearable we felt it fr the outside

the angry auntie worked ferociously
scooping mixture if rice flour and its filling into the trays

so freaking hot!!!
they also have a fan for customers

Angry Auntie has got her own fan too!!!!!

after spooning the rice flour mixture unto the tray she threw some condiments innit
which I later found out to be fried turnip

wow!!!! one big pot of rice flour!!!!!!
anyway the trays are inserted into the "homemade/customised" machine
only they have got it...

it has a roller system at the bottom that pushes the tray into the steamer...
and the same tray of chee cheong fun will come out at the other end - PERFECTLY COOKED!!!!

it takes less than 1 minute for this lady to prepare a tray of Chee Cheong Fun
and 1 Tray = 1 Chee Cheong Fun =- RM 3.40 (Special, additional turnips)

the chee cheong fun is to be eaten with pickled green chilis...
here the maid was seen preparing and cleaning tonnes of green chilis

aiya Angry Auntie....faster lar...
u must not and kenot and never ever RUSH her...

so while waiting we chit-chatted with the customers who were on queue
"I ordered 800 last month"
800??? wat??? u got a village to feed is it?
"Nope I sent to KL for my friends...."

wahhh I think ur friend made a brisk biz selling these.....

after 5 mins...I ran back to the car....
in the comfy air cond....heheheehehheh

while I Ching and JS waited in the HEAT
kekekkekekekekkekekekekekke

30 mins later...with our Formula One driver we were in Ipoh once again :D
we ordered 30 packs
the above was only for supper...need to save some for breakfast the next day kekekekekeke

so a good quality of chee cheong fun must paired with a great wine
and we had an Echezeaux Mongeard
*think a certain M ppl will come and slap us*

we were so impatient that we decided to dine at the maid's table
wuahahahahaha
to set up the dining table would have taken time

ohhhh yumsssss!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was still warm and silky smooth

the turnip was already pre-fried and was so savoury!!!!

think I finished one whole pack meself easily :P

BURPED!!!
very good...
but dun think I would ever drive into this lil town just for this
unless if it's a by-the -way thingy...
coz there's nothing else in the town

oh yea if u were wondering...
I saw the famous Teluk Intan leaning tower :)))))))))))
