This famous shredded chicken hor fun stall located in Ipoh’s old town on Jalan Bandar Timah, more likely known as Leech Street to the local, in an old cafe named Thean Chun.

Ipoh’s Hor Fun are more likely the same as our Penang’s Koay Teow except that it’s more smooth and softer when put in mouth. They look the same, but the textual isn’t. Hor Fun to Penangite are something thicker than Koay Teow.

As for the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it’s just almost like our Penang’s Koay Teow Th’ng, except it’s a little spicy and there’s shrimp in it. You can find almost similar one on Buckingham Street near to the market there where you order a bowl of clear soup koay teow (清汤粿条) at the curry noodle stall in front of the market.

Talking back about the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it looks nice but somehow to me, I still prefer koay teow in it instead of hor fun, everything was good except the choice of noodle. Maybe I am a Penang person and love koay teow more than their hor fun. Anyway, if you go to Ipoh, this is a must try.

I went to Ipoh two weeks ago and I was staying at my friend, Bin’s place. In the morning, her dad bought us Ipoh famous salted chicken for breakfast and it’s delicious! I love Ipoh salted chicken. Although there’s Penang made Ipoh salted chicken but I’ve never tried it before. I like Ipoh’s.

The salted chicken was bought from Aun Kheng Lim and this Aun Kheng Lim is located on 24, Jalan Theatre, 30300 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. Google Map it! =) Apologize for not really know the way around Ipoh.

This is an Egg Tart from Ipoh. Look at the center filling, it’s so much and so pretty. Delicious! Don’t ask me where to buy because I don’t know also. Haha, an Ipoh friend bought for me one.

Ipoh is very famous for the beansprout chicken, it’s actually not beansprout cook with chicken but they are in separate dishes of beansprout and chicken. Everyone likes Ipoh beansprout chicken, I like too, but to be honest, there’s better chicken at other places, like Penang. Hehe.

Since it’s famous, we will not miss it every time we go to Ipoh. Located in Ipoh’s old town, there’s 2 beansprout chicken outlet on Jalan Yau Tet Sin. One is Lou Wong and another is Onn Kee. Two also I have visited before, if you do listen to the radio, Lou Wong’s have made radio commercial before.

What’s so special about Onn Kee is that they have many photos of Asian’s celebrities eating out at there. Maybe this outlet is more famous then the neighbour’s shop? I don’t know. I like this place because it’s air-conditioned, not too hot.

Separated dish of beansprout and chicken. I like beansprout and I like chicken. The chicken is just more likely same as our Hainanese chicken rice’s chicken, though this chicken I ate was a little bit tough. I know a place in Penang has better chicken, but since it’s 2 different place, this maybe the best in Ipoh.

Here’s something different and that is their char siew (Roasted Pork). It’s honey barbequed and it’s something different and never eat before in Penang, not same like the char siew sell in Penang’s chicken rice’s stall.

Another thing is their speed is very fast, we sat down, ordered and in less than 10 minutes, everything is served. In so unlike in Singapore where I queued up for 45 minutes at Newton Food Centre for their Singapore’s famous chicken rice. That time was really OMG.

So which do you prefer? Lou Wong or Onn Kee? Or you have a better place to introduce?
