Half Boiled Egg on Toast











Hi pals, as promised here is the post on the toast bread shop in Ipoh. Ban Teik and wife took us here too. Well, I was told that it is one of the pioneer of "White Coffee" shop. Yes, your original Ipoh White Coffee shop! And it really lived up to its name. The coffee is first class!!! Not too sweet... it is rich with aromatic iced coffee with milk. The toast bread spreaded with kaya and butter were crispy and sweet. Well, when you bite the toast... it is so crispy... it sounds and feels like biting into Jacob cream cracker but with a richer and sweeter taste. You know what I mean, huh! Well, if you don't, then be sure to travel to Ipoh to taste it. The shop is opened for breakfast and afternoon for tea time or more accurately coffee break.



It serves one of its unique half boiled egg on toasted bread. You know, we used to eat half boiled eggs and dip toast into it. Now, with this unique number, you need not use the extra hand muscle to dip your toast into the egg no more. And it is so easy to make... yet so delicious... I think I can get my love to make it for me at home!!



Total Costs: Again, thanks to Ban Teik and wife who treated us. Not sure how much this meal cost. But, I think you will definitely get value for your money here.

Ipoh Kai Xi Hor Fun




















OK, I admit it, I am a sucker for good food and companion. A visit to my pal's place in Ipoh is a must to complete the Taiping food escapade. Well, yes Ipoh is about 45 mins away from Taiping, but it was a worthwhile drive. Well, I am blessed with great companions and complemented with great food. My great pal and his wife even took leave to entertain us and brought us round Ipoh to taste the best of the best in Ipoh town.



What is kai xi hor fun? The food is finger licking good. Well, little Lee Ann who is 5 will support my claim. The innocent never lies. Our dear girl was actually eating ... believe it or not, sucking and cleaning up the chicken feet!! Well, I am no fan of any other parts of chicken except for its breasts, thighs and drumsticks. This food in a medium size coffee shop in Ipoh town makes my stomach growls. Kuey tiow, noodle any mee, just order... The chicken is so tender, juicy and tasty, the bean sprout is stir fried with garlic and tasty gravy, and mind you, the kuey tiow is smoother than lotion on skin!!



Total costs: Actually not sure, cause my dear friend who took leave to bring us around Ipoh paid for it. Thanks Ban Teik!
