Pun Chun

Bidor is located between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur via the North-South Expressway. It is south of Tapah, north of Sungkai, east of Changkat Jong and Teluk Intan and west of the Titiwangsa Mountains. One of the most popular stopovers, Pun Chun is strategically located on the main road into town. Over the years, this has been my regular stopover, especially during Chinese New Year and before the highway was built. Everyone knows that Pun Chun is famous for its Ngap Toi Meen (duck-thigh noodles) and Kai Jai Peng (chicken biscuit).

There are other things at Pun Chun, namely the Wan Tan Meen (thin noodles with char siew or roast pork and dumplings) and Wu Gok (deep fried taro balls filled with pork). The noodles are not really special but the dumplings are freshly made daily and the roast pork is first rate! The taro balls on the other hand are crisp, well made with generous fillings. They too are made daily.

Do stop by especially when you’re heading North on the highway from KL or further south. It’s only five minutes from the highway exit, making it very convenient indeed.

A Dim Sum Breakkie!

icon_ltgray_open_quote Life is like dim sum. Some things come wrapped, and some things aren’t. Some are steamed, some are fried. Some are crispy, others are fluffy. They all taste different, yet they are all fulfilling and delicious! Life is one dim sum buffet, eat up! icon_ltgray_close_quote

A delectable spread!

A crazy weekend

Food, food, and more food.
Quite a bit overboard it was.
A big unexpected turnabout on what was to be a relaxing weekend.
When life throws you pig fat, you make hokkien mee!

Hokkien mee

Hokkien mee (Simplified Chinese: 福建面; Pronunciation in Mandarin: Fújiàn miàn
From Wikipedia (Can u believe they have this!)…
Strictly speaking, the Penang and Singapore Hokkien mee are two different dishes except that they are both prawn noodles and share the name ‘hokkien’. The ingredients and method of cooking are different, the Penang version is cooked in soup while the Singapore version is stir fried. In this respect, the dish Hokkien mee can refer to three different distinct dishes; Penang Hokkien mee, Singapore Hokkien mee and Kuala Lumpur Hokkien mee. The Penang Hokkien mee is sometimes referred to as mee yoke in Kuala Lumpur as Hokkien mee in Kuala Lumpur by default means Hokkien char mee which is noodles stirred fried in dark soya sauce.

Quite packed even at 11pm…

After a long bus ride, a nice hot meal is always welcome (plus a hot shower and nice soft bed of course), since we’re in the the Damansara area, we decided to try this supposedly rather well known place. Arriving at 11pm on a Saturday, the place was quite crowded but more people were arriving as time went by, presumably from movie theaters nearby. While we were quite tired and not really in a mood to eat much, we tried both noodle dishes and they turned out quite good. I would rate this place just slightly lower than the stall in Jalan 222. Overall, this places gets 2 lips!

Hungry patrons eating in the dark!
