Ipoh so called famous chicken bean sprout - - disappointing

Besides Penang, Ipoh shall be the famous place for delicious food in Malaysia.

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?

This photo was intentionally up side down! Just like the description and the real was totally "up side down"!

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...

Prawning - Fishing prawn - My new hobby

Recently, my friend took me for prawning.. and I love it after all..

Prawning or prawn fishing is a hobby..like fishing but it can be an indoor game with pay-pond..all equipment provided..

Pay-pond usually be just a shop lot, big pond with aeration system in the middle, occupying 80% space of the shop, and chairs are provided surrounding the pond.

The shop will provides you a simple stick with color marked "floater".. then you just hook a tiny piece of chicken liver as bait (provided as well) and throw into water..
Prawn could be anywhere in the pond..just wait patiently.. suddenly you will see the sign when "floater" sinking down.. then faster pull!pull!pull!!!!!

For a first timer like me, you would scream uncontrollably.. then the next second, the prawn was flying above you head..and your friend beside have to be careful.. haha.. as if I was pulling out a shark..

Well, after one and a half hour, I got 1 prawn while my friend got 2, and the other 3 were given by tauke.. so we have 6 yummy oven baked fresh prawns happily..

Lover Bridge Tanjung Sepat

As the name imply, this wooden bridge has been a landmark for Tanjung Sepat, as a place for couple dating... so called Lover Bridge.

This bridge is actually reach out the sea side as a jetty for fishery boats. The water bank is not too deep, with few trunks of coconut tree and beautiful sunset... Not only couples, but family, senior citizen around the village love to hang out here... walking slowly under the moon light... watching their favorite show with the public television under the big tree beside the bridge... and enjoy family dinner at the famous seafood restaurant...

For outsider like us, not easy to locate the lover bridge, since there are many "looks alike" mini jetty and restaurant along the way...with the aid of a kind local youngster, shown us the way to the lover bridge, following his motorbike...

We order a few dishes and have a "sea side dinner" here in this Ocen Seafood Restaurant. The most special dish we found is this clay-pot tou fu. Tasty with black vinegar and the tou fu is so smooth.

Besides, the fried tong fun here also very delicious. Mee Hoon, Koay Tiao and Mee are those we commonly eat besides rice. So, tong fun is another choice. Tong fun itself is very spongy and absorb with the taste of spices...mouthful of yummy...

The price is reasonable.
Total we order four dishes is RM40.

There are a few more restaurant nearby, one of it named after the bridge, Lover Bridge Seafood Restaurant. We can only try one at a time, so this one may leave for next visit.

After meal, its best to have a slow walk with your love one on the lover bridge here...

Nice scene and romantic sweet talk...

There is a gift shop here, selling many kind of snacks and local goods, and what interesting is this big bow place in font of the shop, claimed that will bring fortune after touch or hug the bow.
