What better way to start a new blog than to dedicate the first post to food?
Anyway, my friends and I (more like my friend who decided to go eat chee cheong fun, and I + others just went along with it) went to Pasir Pinji to have ourselves some yummeh local delicacies.
Two of my other friends and I were surprised when we arrived at our destination. The stall was located in the porch of a house! There were cars parked along the sides of the already narrow road, which made it somewhat difficult to navigate through, but it was worth it. We dropped a friend off to get a NUMBER (like whoa, a number?!) for the food. Apparently this place is reaaalllyyy popular for chee cheong fun/ccf (I didn't know, okay). There were a few people standing -- waiting for their turn to order and a few tables with happy people with their food. Thanks to the friend for getting a number, our turn was just about 4 numbers away from being served.
Chee Cheong Fun is rice noodle roll and the way it is served and eaten varies depending on where you are exactly. As far as I know, the Ipoh variety typically serves in chili, mushroom sauce, or plain 'ol soy sauce. Just google it and you'll have a plethora of information to read through.
This particular vendor is located at Jalan Pasir Pinji 5. For those who have not heard about this particular famous stall, just ask around and I'm sure any local will point you in the right direction.
Each of us ordered a small plate and some liew to share; the fish balls (for those who don't know, liew is typically fried stuff, mostly fish? I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this T__T I just eat.) It's RM 1.80 for a small plate. But I couldn't even finish mine so, I guess the large is A LOT more. Unsure of the plate of fish balls though.
We had some otak-otak as well, but failed to take a picture (because I dug in HAHA) My friend discreetly paid for our food so.. I don't really know how much they cost too. My bad.
After ccf, we decided to go have some fa sang wu. It's a groundnut dessert-soup thing, except that it's hot.
Also a stall in front of a house, it's located about a block away from the ccf place (Jalan Queen). This dessert goes very well with machi/muachi/mochi -- gluttonous rice flour with crushed peanuts, sugar and sesame seeds:
As the fa sang wu is not really sweet, dipping this in it is the perfect accompaniment to the dessert. The sweetness from the sugar coupled with the thick consistency makes it the perfect combo.
A bowl of fa sang wu (last I checked) is RM2.50. While a plate of mah chee is RM 2.00 -- my friend quickly paid before I could.
So, yes! If you're in Ipoh and fancy some chee cheong fun and some delicious dessert, drop by these two places!:
