What news from ipoh?

Well, when one has returned from Ipoh, one must regale tales of all the delicious food. Well, basically that's all that i ever do there - EAT!
So, here are some photos...


Haha.. i'm getting hungry looking at it again. so MAYBE it doesn't look so good in the photo, but i promise you, if you've eaten it... you understand. it's the lure of ipoh sar hor fun...




i kinda forgot to take photos til after i'd devoured most of my chee cheong fun.. but still. mmm.. with the tim cheong that's sweet sauce.. yum yum yum. apparently the hor fun and the tauge in ipoh is the best cos they have water that's been through limestone caves. something like that.. whatever.. it's so good!





And this is most definitely one of the best dishes.. EVER! haha.. bias lah me. anywayz, hakka mee in ipoh.. the beauty of it? a single bowl still costs rm 1.50. but it's OH-So-YuMmY. plus, i'm hakka, so i was born to love it.






Well, i also ate two roughly-8-course dinners (wahlau.. fullness) and managed to observe the strange mengerie that is my uncle's fish tank. imagine looking at pleasant goldfish, and then suddenly seeing right through one! no kidding...
seee.. apparently he's an alboino eye fish.. but it's true, when you stare at it head on, you can see transparent globes of its eyes. anyway, imagine being completely engrossed in that fish, and then mum suddenly screaming and running, and then you looking up to stare directly at...
OH MY GAWD. dead fish the week before chinese new year.. bad omen or what? but noo.. the little fellas still alive. apparently he likes resting upside down. freaky fish.. i had enough and left soon after.

But yeah, ipoh. great food.. everything else. kinda weird. oh, and really really bad drivers.
