Mee Rebus

The mee rebus I am going to introduce to you is sold in "Chye Chee" or also known as "Cashier's Market". Don't ask me why they named it that. It was a routine for me and my family to visit "Chye Chee" once a week back then. It serves the many best food in Taiping. Real food lovers should visit this place, regardless of its mass and messy condition. It has many small stalls selling old good Taiping food.

There was only 1 stall selling mee rebus 10 years back. And mind you, these hawkers make big bucks selling this special noodle. They live in big house, boasts of owning plasma tvs and other great stuff money can buy them. Today, there are a few more stalls selling this spicy, potato gravy noodle. Now, one stall is in the same old "Chye Chee" place and another two serve mee rebus in Prima Coffee Shop. Well, they are all equally good. You can't find such rich nutritious mee rebus in Singapore or Malaysia, if I am allowed to boast about my town, I must say that only Taiping serves them.

Well, I usually have several rounds of mee rebus as I need to make sure I patronize all three stalls before I leave Taiping. I will usually order 1 mee rebus and teh peng (ice tea with milk) and a few other great dishes to fill me up.... before I go..go...

For 1 mee rebus and teh peng, total costs is only RM3.60

Address: Cashier Market, Jalan Panggung Wayang. The stall is on the far left of the market.

Taiping Cendol

Don't be deceived by this small shop. This is very place the Cendol Brother serves the MUST HAVE Taiping cendol! Make sure you pay this guy a visit. Brother Cendol does not just serve great cendol dessert, they have good pasembor, mee rebus or noodle and are very friendly too. The father of the Cendol brothers started and operated the cendol business under a tree across St George Taiping then.

Today, the Cendol brothers inherited and expanded their father's business. They are now operating in 3 shops. Yeah! Slowly but surely the business grew and their premises upgraded too. With the new operations, you do not need to worry about fallen leaves in your cendol anymore. The authenticness and freshness of the cendol cannot be duplicated elsewhere. This is the best cendol I have ever tasted in my life. Not one high class restaurant or hotel comes close to serving such first class cendol dessert! Make sure you try this dessert in Taiping or regret it!

I ordered 1 ice cendol and 1 pasembor.

Total costs: RM3.40

Address: Barrack Road, 34000, Taiping, Perak
