Fish head curry
Nyonya assam patin fish slices - sweet sourish appetizing dish.
Braised chicken and pig's stomach in clay pot. This is a favourite and their signature dish. Even those with weak gums will enjoy this dish.
Steamed clams (lala) with lime RM24.
Deep fried pork rib.
As usual, we ordered fish curry in claypot. This is a must whenever we dine here.
My favourites were the fried dumplings and the charsiewbao, which as nice and fluffy. Everything else was fresh and tasty, but I can’t say it’s the best dimsum I’ve ever had. Maybe because I’m used to the dimsum I always have in my native Puchong.
This place offers almost hotel standards dim sum & the portions are big too. Good price. Certainly recommendable! Sun Kim Aik
A classic dim sum outlet in Falim near Menglembu, Sun Kim Aik serves very fresh dim sum for breakfast, away from the maddening crowd in town. Various creations
I ordered some fried bean curd items without noodle.
Hubby and I shared this bowl of assam laksa.
My friend ordered this mango jelly with dried sour plum as topping.
Hubby and I shared this plate of fried rice vermicelli with prawns, meat slices, and beansprouts. Just look at the fat, juicy and crunchy beansprout.
Our friend and her son enjoyed the food and few days later, they returned to this place for breakfast with other members of their family.
I ended up buying prawn noodle even though I have not tasted it before. I am glad because the prawn noodle was very tasty and is worth going back again.
After waiting for quite some time, our lobster dish arrived at our table. The lobsters were cooked in special sauce. The lobsters claws were as big as the lobster's body and contain as much meat as the body.
Very flavourful and different version tong po yoke.
Mapo tofu. Silky soft tofu with savoury and spicy sauce.
Assam prawns, fish slices and squid, very appetizing dish.
Since it was a cool morning, I wanted something hot and spicy such as curry noodle or prawn noodle. I finally decided on prawn noodle. The sambal condiment is nice.
I ordered this bowl of Hor Hee tung fun (glass noodle). They even added crispy fried lard in the bowl of Hor Hee noodle. It was a satisfying breakfast with good food and good coffee.
That evening, it was our usual Friday dinner with friends. We wanted to try a new place in Menglembu, we had the address but we need Waze app to direct us to the exact location.
Sweet potato leaves in clay pot. It would be better and tastier if they had peeled the skin from the stem.
Wine Chicken Noodle with egg and wood fungus. This is my favourite choice whenever I am at Restoran Hao Hao.
This time I ordered fish noodle with bitter melon slices and special request to add wine. I enjoyed it very much.
Hubby ordered "wonton" noodle with bbq pork and roast pork.
A plate of thinly sliced pork belly. I can only remember that we enjoyed it very much.
They literally slathered thick sloshes of it on the pancake. And crushed peanut was aplenty. That's made my day. Just live and love it!
This place is known for its Bukit Merah Prawn noodles.
This spicy chili pan mee is served dry. There is a half-boiled egg, minced pork with chopped mushroom, crispy fried anchovies, green veggie, spicy chili sauce and chili sambal served separately. I am very satisfied with this bowl of noodle.
Last but not least, you can’t just tell people that you went to Big Tree Foot (大树脚) without having their signature beverage – Red Bean Ice Smoothies (红豆冰) which costs only RM2.50 per cup. Tastes mild sweet, flaky and irresistible strong red bean flavor, this long-forgotten cold beverage is definitely the best duo with Yong Tau Fu (quench thirst and wash any greasy feel), not to mention it just feels awesome drinking cold stuff under any hot sunny days! 😉
Do order their asam laksa here as well where they are really good too. The flavourful broth with the slurpilicious noodles are definitely well paired with their ytf. Addictively good .
The yong tau foo is nice, with several must try items (e.g. fish filled long beans and sar kok liew) not found in Singapore or Johor. Eating with locals under a big tree is a charming authentic foodie experience.
Verdict: I really imparted high expectation on this due to all the raving and positive reviews in the internet but it did not impress us as much as we thought it would.
说真的,吃了之后并不觉得它有多好吃,就是不明白为何有那么多人依然冲着它而来。
Verdict Taste wise, the uniqueness of this dish was the curry and the addition of chutney and salted egg. While the chicken breast was hard, we found the drumstick to be quite tender and flavourful. Do tell the staff which chicken part you want to avoid disappointment. The portion has slightly decreased compared to few years ago, nonetheless you can ask for extra rice which is charged affordably at only RM0.50.
We consider Lou Wong chicken portion is slightly bigger (talking about single portion here) than what we had in KL and definitely well worth it, texture-wise is obviously succulent and juicy at its best (with some white jello around the chicken skin), basically other than that, nothing much to shout about because it just tastes almost the same compared to other common steam chicken.
Price-wise, it's slightly pricey.
Personally, based on yesterday's tasting of Ong Kee next door and today's Lou Wong; can't really tell the big difference. Both shops next to each other, serves the steam chicken, meat balls and bean sprout at very similar pricing.
The Caramel Custard served in Restaurant Thean Chun tastes so good with the perfect combination of the egg, milk and caramel.
The Custard here is probably one of the best or maybe the best in Ipoh city.
The satay itself is not too bad but I would still prefer the ones I can get in Malacca.
