Tai Shu Keok / Big Tree Foot / 大树脚

Well.. Ipoh is famous for one place called Big Tree for the yeong tau fu. The price is reasonably cheap compared to other states or town and they got a a large variety of food. About 50 cent only per item. :)

Kayu Nasi Kandar

For nasi kandar lover, there is a famous shop in Penang called Kayu Nasi Kandar. The taste is nice but the price is slightly higher compared to other shop. I think its because the chef is hired from India. Its a 24 hours shop and this shop is really really packed with people.


Nasi Briyani, Lamb, Sotong and Honey chicken (RM16.00)

Nasi Briyani emits a nice fragrance and rich is herbs n spices
Lamb is cooked just nice while sealing the taste inside
Sotong I think overcooked, it lost the chewiness already
Honey chicken is marinated and dipped with sauces again before eat. :)

For curry lovers they got a variety of it.

Humble Beginnings's Cake

This cake is nice. haha..

I am actually carving for this cake when I'm writing this post. :P
The different between this cake and normal cake is it contain lots of layer. In simple comparison to people who ate popiah before you may imagine a thin layer of popiah skin then followed by a layer of cream then another layer of skin and followed by cream and etc. When you bite you can taste the texture of biting different layers. Yum Yum..

Oreo's Cookies 'n' Cream and French Vanilla

Penang Laksa

Well.. Penang is famous for its laksa. So here it goes..

The difference between Ipoh's (Penang's Laksa) and Real Penang Laksa is the in the soup. No matter how Ipoh immitate they'll still lose out. Why? Because of the soup. In Penang, the people use lots of fish and other ingredient to boil the soup. This makes the flavour rich but Ipoh's Laksa still lacking of ingredient (No offense)

Penang Laksa with Ha Kou (Prawn Gravy)
The gravy is used to enhance the soup flavour and increase the fragrant.
The soup contains lots of fish (Sardin?), lemon grass, pineapple, etc. :)

This shop is situated near sunshine square.

There are two entrance and the shop is facing this entrance

This meal is my farewell before I going intern.
Thank you very much :)

Well this place is one of the place which may be considered when going for lunch or dinner. The price are reasonable with a nice dinning environment. Drinks are served upon visit with a nice serving attitude.

Set lunch only RM18++. I think its quite reasonable for the food nowadays.

I ordered mix grilled lamb this time:
Soup of the Day
Main Course
Desert
Coffee/Tea

A nice appetizer (Not included in the set lunch): Rum Raisins Cheese Cake :)

Soup of the day
Soup is served hot with breads as topping but the amount of pepper is too much. It'll be nice if they reduce the amount of pepper.

Mixed Grilled Lamb
Inside got potato salad, pickled vegetables (Red Bean, Carrot, etc.), Sausage, Ham, and Steak. The peppermint sauce is special. Its different from what we usually eat. Its in jelly form but still the taste remain nice

Fried noodle accompanied by steamed chicken or chicken leg is one of the most common item. But this shop offer octopus as part of it's serving. Its rare to get this dish around Ipoh.

The baby octopus is boiled then seasoned with oil and kicap with sprinkled fried onion on top. It gives a chewy and also crunchy texture where each bite fills your mouth with the fragrant of the seasoning :)

Back from Exam

Finally I'm able to spend some time on my blog after a long break due to my final exam. Really left it alone for quite some time. Kinda miss the feeling of blogging (about food only). LOL

Mediterranean Chicken and Apple Pie

Apple Pie
The crust quite starchy.
Does not really bring out the nice fragrant of a baked apple.

Mediterranean Chicken

The crispiness of the chicken skin covering a soft and sweet meat.
Covered with a specially made sauce but a bit too salty .
But still really something worth trying :)

The potatoes are baked and oil free. The skin are still there but I just eat it that way.

The mixed vegetable are being fried for a short period of time.

Free drinks when we order the set. RM8 only

Cashew Nut & Chocolate Chip Cookies at Child Provision Booth

Cashew Nut & Chocolate Chip Cookies

The sweetness of chocolate mix with bitter and fragrant of cocoa.
For white and dark chocolate lovers, this is really a nice choice. :)

The taste of nut spread throughout the whole piece of cookie.
The crispy texture of nuts is harmonized with the softness of cookie

Cookies baked with butter but tastes is preserved and not too oily.
Really need skills in controlling the baking time or it will taste bad.

I like the blend of the of cashew nut, chocolate chip and with butter.
Every bite give me a lasting impression of chocolate and nut.

Really thumb up from me and my friends :)

The got a variety of cookies at a very cheap price.

Free testing are given :)

The person preparing samples from each variety of the cookies.
Most of the cookies selling for RM5 only.
The main purpose is for charity.
Really admire them doing something noble :)
