Hohoho in Ipoh.

How did you spend your Christmas day? :P


Here's how I spent mine:








HAHAHHAHAH damn chat stupid sohai la Teeny singing Leslie Cheung's song wtf. And did you notice my dad just continuing talking like normal to my mom although my sister and I were creating a havoc behind. Immune to us already. -_-
And why do I sound like this! I think it's 'cause I had a mouthful of milo in my mouth, haha.

Ya la, trust my parents to think it's a good idea to go to Ipoh, of all places, for Christmas! -_-






Thank god I brought a hat! 'Cause I forgot to bring along a jacket/pashmina in the car, so I used the hat as a shield from the air conditioner wtf.






Really bored in the car. BOOO I didn't know Ipoh was 2 hours away! I naively assumed that it was 1 hour's drive away. And after 1 hour I kept on asking my dad "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" like Donkey from Shrek WTF.

I swear the journey took so long, we went to the end of the universe and came back!



Let the food adventures begin!


Meal 2 (we had super good Chinese food for lunch in Tanjong Tualang prior to that!): Ipoh drinks and rojak








Toast + Kaya/ Better Each
Kaya and butter? Or maybe they are saying that toast and kaya is better wtf.

Half bolhed egg

HAIHHH the English sucks, but heck, the food is good! :P






Teeny very happy with her Ipoh ice cream float.


The ice cream float is actually just sirap bandung + 7Up + 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream! Sounds really easy right, but it's very refreshing and yummy!





This is Yi Ern! My mom's best friend (Auntie Jean)'s daughter.

Basically,us two families embarked on this little food trip together. And when I mean food trip, I mean that my dad and Uncle Jean (take after the name of the wife wtf, hahaha this is what me and my sisters do, we call all the husbands of my mom's girlfriends by their wives' names.. like Uncle Lilian and Uncle Carol HAHHAHAHA) brought bottles and bottles of wine along with the trip. For them to pop a few glasses at every restaurant. -_-


But I think quite cool la! Next time I want to go on food escapades too! Like bring a big group of friends to visit a foreign place and just eat all the nicest food and delicacies there! That's what my parents did recently, they joined a food tour (formed by all food lovers) organised by apparently the "God of Food" (wtf it sounds better in Chinese haha) of Hong Kong! And they just went around Macau and err this place next to Hong Kong eating superbly nice (not necessarily fine) food! This is my dream, 'cause I love to eat! :)


So who wants to join me ar.




Ipoh white coffee!

Why the coffee not white wan. Don't tell me you have never wondered about that before!






Yi Ern, and her brother, Ah Beng (HHAHAHA err it is his real name).
Ah Beng is also known as my brother's best friend. They play PSP and Xbox and computer games all day long. -_-




My brother. Who ordered a Coke float, i.e. Coke + sirap bandung + vanilla ice cream. Blueghhhh.




Meal 3: Tau fu far



We tried 3 types: with white sugar, brown sugar (gula melaka) and ginger!
Teeny threatened not to sleep with me if I take the ginger one, coz rumor has it that ginger causes flatulence wtf.





The tau fu far is super super super smooth!
Like, after trying Ipoh tau fu far, I feel that KL's tau fu far is like cement blocks. Hard and cube-ish. T__T

They say that it's 'cause of Ipoh's water source (water from the mountains or something like that), which is why their kuey teow is also way way way smoother! And it's also why they say Ipoh girls have smoother and nicer skin. T__T

How ar, should I move to Ipoh ar.



Meal 4: Kaya puffs




Wow, the kaya puffs from this place is BE-AWESOME! (beyond awesome, I learned it from Bolt the cartoon HAHAHA)!!! It was fresh out of the oven (we literally saw them taking it out of the oven), but I didn't try it then, despite the orgasmic moans of everyone who tried it, 'cause I was seriously stuffed. Instead, I had one 2 days later (we packed some home), and my gosh, it was still crispy and fresh! MMM. Can you imagine how it would have tasted hot and toasty from the oven!! T___T






Nah, old building to prove that we really went to Ipoh wtf.







At Tanjong Tualang, some small town further from Ipoh. My dad purposely made a detour 'cause he heard that the food was great. It lived up to its name! But my butt said no thanks to even longer car journey, boo.




Some other things we ate:




Weird Ipoh delicacy. The fried thing is some deep fried crispy egg + flour thingy with dried shrimps... and you're supposed to eat it with steamed mantao. Damn weird right! But quite nice. :P





I know this is such a deceptively simple dish-- it's basically just buttered toast with 2/3 boiled egss on top...

But omg, the toast is toasted to just the right crisp, and blends nicely with the buttery tang. And the egg, oh the egg, it's boiled to perfection. Boiled for slightly longer, it would be hard-ish or rubbery, boiled for any shorter, it would be watery. But ahh, perfection, this is!

So nice to eat! Especially when you break the egg, and quickly chew on the crunchy toast while it's coated with the egg. I can't find this in KL! :(



OK don't kill me, I am going to abruptly end this entry, 'cause I just realised I didn't take pictures of the rest of the food that we ate. And oh boy, the amount of food we ate! :/ I didn't even take pictures of the famous Ipoh hor fun, the famous Ipoh big headed prawns (hahha snobby little things they are WTF)... :(
