The Ipoh Adventure Part 4 - Wong’s Taugeh and Ayam (Kuaytiao) Restoran


Dinner tonight was at Wong’s Taugeh and Ayam Restoran. No prizes for guessing what was served. Haha. Apparently, one of Ipoh’s famous dishes besides hor-fun (which we are going to have tomorrow) is its taugeh and pak cham gai.

The taugeh (beansprouts) were the plumpest and most crisp ones I’ve eaten. Generously doused with sesame oil and sprinkled over the top with the best tasting black pepper and garnished with chopped spring onions and red chillis – who knew that a simple dish like fried beansprouts can be taken onto such a level?

The chicken was tender and juicy – and of course, very oily thanks to the sesame oil. The only let down was that the rice was just plain rice – what happened to the ginger, garlic and chicken stock?

Hey, but I can see why this restaurant is the most popular in Ipoh Pusat Bandaraya. Posted by Hello
