West Malaysia 2024 — A Date With Lat
Ipoh's Crunchy Little Secret
In Ipoh town, a famous treat,
Tender chicken, rice to eat.
But plump taugeh stole the show,
What's their secret? Aunty wants to know
You Can't Come to Ipoh and Skip This!
When in Ipoh, how can we possibly miss the famous beansprout chicken rice?
So off we went — Mama, Hubby, Ah Boy and yours truly — for a makan session at Lou Wong.
The chicken was tender, but what caught my attention was the taugeh!
Aiyoh! Why so fat and plump one?
Compared with these well-fed Ipoh beansprouts, our Singapore taugeh looked like they had been on a permanent diet!
While everyone was enjoying the food, Aunty was busy investigating the mysterious waistlines of the humble beansprout.
Never mind lah. Investigation can wait. Makan first!
And until today, the mystery remains…
We Thought We Were Early… So Did Everyone Else!
We thought arriving early would help us beat the dinner crowd at Lou Wong.
Aiyah! Apparently, half of Ipoh had the same brilliant idea!
While waiting for our food, everyone had their own mission.
Hubby wandered off to inspect the chickens, like a newly appointed Quality Control Manager.
Ah Boy was busy with office work on his phone. Holiday or not, the Ipoh branch office was open for business!
Mama had already spotted a souvenir shop across the road. Shopping radar activated!
And Aunty? Still wondering how those famous Ipoh taugeh managed to grow so plump!
Four people, four different missions.
And we hadn't even started eating!
Chicken Gone… But Mama's Mission Wasn't Over!
Once the food arrived, all four departments closed for makan!
With four hungry people at the table, the chicken disappeared in no time.
But Mama had unfinished business.
Remember that souvenir shop across the road? Her eyes were still on it!
“Go see awhile only lah!”
Aiyah, we all knew what “see awhile only” meant!
Chicken mission: completed.
Taugeh mystery: unsolved.
Mama's shopping mission: about to begin!
Time to Call It a Day
After a day of exploring, sightseeing and makan, it was finally time to rest those tired feet.
A comfy bed was calling, and tomorrow promised more adventures.
Goodnight, Ipoh!
