After quite a long time of planning, finally I made my first time truly to Ipoh!
Heard a lot of how nice the food in Ipoh, and I was given a "must try" list...
Before go on with happy experience in Ipoh, I would like to highlight the terrible Lou Wong...so called "famous" chicken bean sprout!
There are a few chicken rice shops in the area, but unfortunately I pick the wrong one perhaps.. the name of the shop Lou Wong, with a plat hanging in the middle of shop written "The Most Famous in Town: Specialized in Chicken Bean Sprout and Kuetiao", and the shop was almost full house.. so much so I wonder that Ipoh chicken rice tasted so "uniquely" or it was something wrong with my taste bud?
The rice was just plain white rice, not the usual oil rice...what I can said was worse than "economy rice" at hawker stall, which at least with nice pandan leafs smell... perhaps, the business was too good and the oil rice just out of stock?? and simply gave us the ordinary rice but unordinary price? I wouldn't know because it was my first (and the last) visit.
Okay, next the chicken served... then I realized all the oil missing from the rice came to the chicken...
Super oily, stale, tasteless or just the taste of black soy sauce I can tell... and the worse part was the chicken still raw...
I was so upset of why coming all the way so far even the chicken rice of the kopitiam next to my door is much much much better than this "Ipoh famous chicken"!
Next, the bean sprout... I thought its very easy to be prepared... shall be no problem... but I really surprised that it could be spoiled too...the whole plate was full of pepper...none of us know how to appreciate it...perhaps pepper's lover??
The so called "most famous" might be the most lousy, perhaps on the odd day...you will simply spend RM32 for such a terrible Ipoh food.
I am sorry to share such a bad experience in Ipoh here..but don't be disappointed, there are still other really nice food in Ipoh...such as dim sum, soy bean curt, salty chicken and more...
