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.
