Salt Baked Chicken

Visited this shop that sells Salt Baked Chicken when we visited the old town of Ipoh. This chicken is yummy and it is cooked in a big pan filled with coarse salt. The shop has many pans and you can feel the heat the moment you enter the shop. Imagine these workers have to work everyday surrounded by the intense heat.

A Cuppa Good Coffee

Are you a coffee drinker? This is my favourite brand of instant coffee - Old Town Coffee from Ipoh, by Nam Heong. My favourite is the 3-in-1 Hazelnut White Coffee. The coffee fragrant and flavour of hazelnut are very welcoming, especially in the morning!

If you are in Ipoh (the hometown of Bond Girl ~ actress Michelle Yeoh, in Tomorrow Never Dies), do not hesitate to get a pack of this coffee at the Nam Heong Coffee Shop! Or better still, order a hot brew and enjoy it there and then in the atmosphere of an old coffee shop!

Are you a coffee or a tea person?

Sunny Tarts of Ipoh

While visiting Ipoh last weekend, we couldn't resist going for a food hunt in this town up north of Kuala Lumpur.
For those who are not familiar with Ipoh, this city is well-known for its good food and pretty girls! Yup, these are true!

We had lunch at the famous Nam Heong Coffee Shop that is well-known for its Old Town Coffee. Nam Heong also serves dim sum (traditional Chinese snacks). Then I saw this guy preparing the egg tarts for baking and I just can't resist getting closer to take some photos.

Mmmm...look at those yellow, sunny egg custard and the flaky, crispy puff pastry holding it.....mmm you can smell the rich, sweet custard and butter used for the pastry....can't you?
