Overall, if you intend to visit the hawker, you can try all items of the yong tau foo as they are so delicious and they are also very affordable. The dry noodles is the best in my opinion but the rest of the variety is equally good
Even though the taste to me was quite ordinary, it was a good experience to have sank into the local culture, experiencing the environment and food there.
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! 😉
This is a local food court, not a tourist places. Satay and Mee Mamak is pretty good, recommended.
I was feeling lazy on this particular Sunday and I wasn't in the mood to cook. So we ended up having dinner with our friends at Kafe Best Hillview.
The chicken meat is cooked just nice, not overcooked.
Larut Matang Hawker Center is a place that is packed with good food in Taiping, Perak. Located at the center of the town area this hawker center is the place that must drop by for every visitor. One of the stalls, Stall No 78 has been operated for 60 years and passed down for the 3rd generation. The fried fish ball koay teow. This is the food that is only available in Perak. Besides the above-mentioned dish, the oyster omelet, seafood koay teow soup, and ice mountain are also must-try food and dessert.
Larut Matang Hawker Centre (拉律马登小贩中心) is probably the most popular local eatery in Taiping.

Yummy chicken curry noodle
This time, hubby joined the queue at the Pandan Rice stall. He came back with this plate filled with our yummi-licious favourites. Even now, seeing this picture makes me drool.
The Deep Fried Prawns were good. Fried just to the right level and the accompanying sauce was superb. Slightly on the spicy side but it was really good. 9/10 would be my rating for this dish.
Pusat Penjaja Taiping is a hawker center at Jalan Tupai, right across the busy street from Novotel Taiping.
Self-service is practised here, for you can’t expect the man who runs his stall alone to hop all over the rectangular-shaped food centre and earn a meagre sum of RM2.00/USD0.60 per plate of CCF. Doused liberally with the sweet sauce (tim cheong), sprinkled with lots of sesame seeds and fried shallots, I had the rolls of steamed rice noodles with chunks of yam cake (wu tau kou) for some interesting clash of texture and flavours.
Everything was good except that it was a bit too salty for us and the beef was tough. Next time, I must remember to pick pork or chicken and also to request for it to be less salty.
Here's the location.
My Personal Opinion What I do know is this.....it's the best kai see hor fun I've eaten in all of KL! This one is already so good, I don't think I need to look for a better one in Ipoh.
Moon De Moon have conquered the taste buds of many Ipoh folks. If you are visiting Ipoh or passing by the North South Expressway near Ipoh, do check out Moon De Moon's kai see hor fun, if you like to try one of the best renditions of Ipoh's iconic dish.
Ai Yu Bing comes sinfully delicious, especially in the hot weather. The shaved ice with the jelly below and topped with some fruits like watermelon, honeydew and longan on top. It is then added with a squeeze of lemon to give it a sourish refreshing taste.
Hubby ordered this bowl of curry noodle consisting of bbq pork, roast pork, etc. This curry broth has less coconut milk and tastes sourish with the added lime juice. Those who prefer the curry broth to be "lemak" coconut milk may not like this.
Come 4pm people will be standing in line waiting patiently to ordered their roast pork.
The fried noodles was good and we ended up ordering an addition plate to share
The Loh Mee came with thick soup and smooth savory broth. The noodle was so smooth and delicate; it just slurps in your throat literally. But, the soapy broth had very strong bamboo shoot which I found quite disturbing.
The next stop was Pasar Awam Kampung Koh which is a few minutes drive from the biscuit shop. Look for the shabby shack under the big tree opposite the morning market, and try the famous noodles of Loh Mee and “Loh Lak” Noodle.
If you are a fan of cheap eats that will make you come back for more, then the stadium is a place that you need to visit.
The dry version is more of the dark + light soy sauce plus some thick curry gravy.
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.
The noodle and stuffed ingredients are really delicious. Hard to explain why such simple food are really nice. RM 17.70 for 2 bowl with ingredients. The rose coffee (RM 4) a bit fancy, but still..
