Onix Jun Korean Foods @ Ipoh Garden East
It was my birthday, so I bring mom, bro and carol to this Korean cuisine place we used to dine. (not that there are many Korean food restaurant in Ipoh) Too bad my ah sou couldn't join us because it's not her lunch time yet. The taste of this Korean food restaurant is more toward Korean family style, which is very moderate, the kimchi aren't that hot and spicy and it suit the general public that doesn't like spicy food.
The usual all you can eat korean side dishes
We get to start with their Korean side dishes as usual, consist of kimchi, eggs, ikan bilis etc. It's free of charge and you can refill as much as you want.
Kimchi Soup
The Kimchi Soup taste just nice, not extremely spicy nor sour.
Korean BBQ pork on hotplates
Eating the bbq pork together with the onion gives you another taste :)
Ginseng Chicken Soup
Full of ginseng soup and mom even claimed she felt more healthier the next day!
Steamed pork
Totally different from the bbq pork.
Kimchi Tofu
As for pricing, it ain't cheap, which pretty much same as all the other Korean Food. Considering this is one of the few Korean Food Restaurant, the price is still acceptable with the nice food they provided. Another must try is their tea, green tea or malt tea, which they cooked it with rice water.

Beef Noodle @ Tong Sui Kai, Ipoh
One of my favorite spot for supper since when I am a kid. Cheong kee beef noodle has been around for many years. Tong sui kai was once a very famous spot for supper in Ipoh, although it still is until today, however the popularity dropped a bit today.
The beef in the soup noodle is very tender, and the soup taste very good. The beef ball is very 爽口弹牙 (elastic?). I am not sure how long this stall will be there since the owners are growing older, so please give it a try when you can :)
A nice bowl of 清补凉 afterward is always nice :)

Koh Samui @ Ipoh
Ipoh has very limited place for thai food. Since one of my favorite spot for cheap and good thai food has closed down, Koh Samui is the only option left for me whenever I needed the excitement from thai spicy food!
Yam Neur (Small) RM9.80 (Beef Salad)
This beef salad really open up my appetite, one of the must order dish!
Tomyam Thalay (Small) RM14.80 (Tomyam Seafood soup)
Haw Mok (Small) RM13.80 (Seafood Curry)
Both tomyam soup and seafood curry are very nice, it would be nicer if the tomyam could be a little more spicier, the seafood curry is very rich in coconut milk taste.
There are a lot more nice dishes other than the 3 mentioned above. The fish cake, green curry and etc are very nice well. The price is not exactly cheap however still in acceptable range. If you stop by Ipoh and would like to have thai food as your meal, this is one of the place you can go.

Nice post, give some thought
I received this mail from my ah sou. Quite interesting.
朋友, 这是一篇很引人深思的文章.
你读后,领悟到了什么?
当今的执政者读了, 又有何想呢?
你选择了狮还是狼呢?
不管是經營企業或人際關係，本篇文章都能發人深省。
美國最暢銷書-選狼還是選獅子?
上帝把兩群羊放在草原上，一群在南，一群在北。
上帝還給羊群找了兩種天敵，一種是獅子，一種是狼。
上帝對羊群說：「如果你們要狼，就給一隻，任它隨意咬你們。 ?
如果你們要獅子，就給兩頭，你們可以在兩頭獅子中任選一頭，還可以隨時更換。」
這道題的問題就是：如果你也在羊群中，你是選狼還是選獅子？很容易做出選擇吧？
好吧! 記住你的選擇，接著往下看。
南邊羊想，獅子比狼兇猛得多，還是要狼吧! 於是,它們就要了一隻狼。 北邊羊想，獅子雖然比狼兇猛得多，但我們有選擇權，還是要獅子吧!
於是，它們就要了兩頭獅子。
狼進了南邊羊群後，就開始吃羊。狼身體小，食量也小，一隻羊夠它吃幾天了。
這樣羊群幾天才被追殺一次。
北邊羊挑選了一頭獅子，另一頭則留在上帝那裡。
這頭獅子進入羊群後，也開始吃羊。獅子不但比狼兇猛，而且食量驚人，每天都要吃一隻羊。
這樣羊群就天天都要被追殺，驚恐萬狀，羊群趕緊請上帝換一頭獅子。
不料，上帝保管的那頭獅子一直沒有吃東西，飢餓難耐，撲進羊群，比前面那頭獅子咬得更瘋狂。
羊群一天到晚只是逃命，連草都快吃不成了。
南邊羊群慶幸自己選對了天敵，又嘲笑北邊的羊群沒有眼光。
北邊羊群非常後悔，向上帝大倒苦水，要求更換天敵，改要一隻狼。
上帝說：「天敵一旦確定，就不能更改，必須世代相隨，你們唯一的權利是在兩頭獅子中選擇。」
北邊羊群只好把兩頭獅子不斷更換。可兩頭獅子同樣凶殘，換哪一頭都比南邊羊群悲慘得多，它們索性不換了，讓一頭獅子吃得膘肥體壯，另一頭獅子則餓得精瘦。
眼看那頭瘦獅子快要餓死了，羊群才請上帝換一頭。
這頭瘦獅子經過長時間的飢餓後，慢慢悟出了一個道理：自己雖然兇猛異常，一百隻羊都不是對手，可是自己的命運是操縱在羊群手裡的。羊群隨時可以把自己送回上帝那裡，讓自己飽受飢餓的煎熬，甚至有可能餓死。
想通這個道理後，瘦獅子就對羊群特別客氣，只吃死羊和病羊，凡是健康的羊它都不吃了。
羊群喜出望外，有幾隻小羊提議乾脆固定要瘦獅子，不要那頭肥獅子了。
一隻老公羊提醒說：「瘦獅子是怕我們送它回上帝那裡挨餓，才對我們這麼好。
萬一肥獅子餓死了，我們沒有了選擇的餘地，瘦獅子很快就會恢復凶殘的本性。」
羊群覺得老羊說得有理，為了不讓另一頭獅子餓死，它們趕緊把它換回來。
原先肥壯的那頭獅子，已餓得剩下皮包骨頭了，並且也懂得了自己的命運是操縱在羊群手裡的道理。為了能活命，它竟百般討好起羊群來。而那頭被送交給上帝的獅子，則難過得流下了眼淚。
北邊羊群在經歷了重重磨難後，終於過上了自由自在的生活。
南邊羊的處境卻越來越悲慘了，那隻狼因為沒有競爭對手，羊群又無法更換它，它就胡作非為，每天都要咬死幾十隻羊，這隻狼早已不吃羊肉了，它只喝羊的血,還不准羊叫，那隻叫就立刻咬死那隻。南邊的羊群只能在心中哀歎：「早知道這樣，還不如要兩頭獅子。」
這是一道非常簡單的選擇題，據我多次親自嘗試的經驗，如果問歐美的朋友，大多數人都會選獅子，但是如果拿來問我們自己華人，大多數人都會選狼（包括我自己）。
領悟到了嗎？ 握有決定權的才有生機，否則只有任人宰割的份兒了…！
只有交替的政权, 才能还政於民!

Western Food @ Miners Arms Ipoh
Instead of going to yeolde english for western foods, I would recommend going to miners arms beside OCBC bank. Their price is pretty much the same as yeolde english if not cheaper, however the quality of the steaks, chops, prawns is so much better.
Nyonya Friend Chicken
Turkey ham steak
Mushroom with black pepper sauce
Their interior is quite old style, judging from their setting, I think there should be live band performance during the weekend or special occasion. The turkey steak and chicken chop cost RM15 each, mushroom cost about RM5. This is definitely one of the better western food spot in Ipoh.

Wantan mee @ Bidor
This wantan mee stall located at bidor is one my favorite spot for breakfast whenever I travel down south. I prefer this place over bidor ben zhan (品真）because ben zhen is really too expansive!
nice pork leg ! (my uncle favorite, not for me :p )
I cant remember the exact price, but overall it's reasonable. Next time when you guys stop by bidor, give it a try!

Seafood Noodle @ Taiping, Prima Hawker Centre
Sick of the scenery of Ipoh, me, Carol, Mom, Bro and Ah sou went to taiping for breakfast one fine sunday morning. Since it is very close to Sepatang, Taiping usually have nice and fresh supplies of seafood. The place we went for breakfast is Kedai Kopi Prima. The coffee shop across it named as Prima something as well. Anyway, this is one of the famous spot for taiping hawker food from day to night, according to my Taiping friends.
There are quite a large range of foods selection here between the 2 shops. From seafood noodle, to kui teoh teng，nasi lemak and roast pork, you can at least find something that suit your appetite.
pop piah
roast pork
Seafood Noodle
Fish meat Noodle
hmm forgot the name of this drink, think it's call 3 flavors teh :p
Afterward we went taiping lake for a walk, ah sou was holding camera in the photo above :p
The seafood noodles are quite expansive for taiping standard, RM7 per bowl. However, the quality of the seafood is very good.

Claypot Beef Stew - Melaka
Melaka, being the historical Unesco World Heritage city, doesn't have many good foods that suit my taste. Most of the foods I liked in Melaka have something to do with beef.
Loi's Bakuteh and Beef Stall is one of my favorite spot for dinner in Melaka. It's a small stall in a house on the side of the road.
The beef pot has very strong fermented bean curd taste.(南乳) If you don't like the taste, I am not sure if you will like this taste however it still worth a try. (As my bro not a big fan too however he likes this beef pot :p ) The beef taste particular good because it's not overcooked as you can see from the above. However, one thing I hate about this stall is the quality of their rice. They are using really cheap rice and sometime it's not well-cooked. Total cost of the meal is around RM24 including drinks.
Anyway this is a good place for I highly recommend for dinner the next time you in Melaka.

Jogoya @ Starhill, Bukit Bintang KL
Me, Carol, My bro and Dai sou visited Jogoya Japanese buffet restaurant at the luxury Starhill one fine night. It was quite late (around 930pm) and there were less crowd in the restaurant. And so refill wasn't exactly a problem as I heard from other. Overall the food quality are quite ok, and food varies from Japanese sashimi, sushi, to some chinese cooking style dish, Teppanyaki, Tempura, Soups, Western style grilling and etc.
Jogoya employs some sort of clip ordering system where you put a clip with your table number to some special dishes you would like, and a moment later they will send it to your table.
Sushi, Shasimi Bar, Oyster, forgot the name of the fish ><
Sashimi, Grill Unagi, Japanese Handroll, Thai style steam fish, little coconut!
Veggie, Paper Tomyam Steamboat, Sushi and Teppanyaki Beef
Häagen-Dazs Icecream and some puddings
Bro and Dai sou
Calvin, Carol
The price list
Unlike some steamboat restaurant, Jagoya doesn't enforce fine on food wastage. However, I do wish people do not take more than they can eat, or take any food that they don't even like it, and take a bite, then throw! It such a shameful act and we have seen a couples done it!! Please think about the children starving in Africa!

We celebrated father's day at Tuck kee this year, and my cousin sis who stay in Sweden happened to be here and joined us as well :)
Tuck kee has been around in Ipoh for long time and it's quite well known among Ipoh folks. The restaurant is currently run by its second generation.
Claypot Eggplants, beacon chicken, and various dish which I can't remember the name now.
Smoked duck and fried sotong is one of my favorite dishes :)
'Fathers' are enjoying themself ^^
ahh...a glass of whisky after meal is always good!! My uncle kept this bottle of whisky for 30 years, the taste and smells are really damn good!!! very smooth when drink :)
