Oh Ipoh Cafe

Last Sunday, Friendship Cafe coffee shop at Taman Esplanad, Bukit Jalil was having their rest day and Starry coffee shop was fully occupied so we walked around the area and saw a new cafe selling food from Ipoh. The air-cond seating area was fully occupied but we got a table after waiting for a while.

Chicken Hor Fun Soup Special at MYR 11.50 nett and a cup of white coffee at MYR 4 nett. The chicken meat was silky smooth and tasty. Are these prices similar to prices in Ipoh?

Yong Tofu aka stuffed beancurd with fish paste fillings (2 pieces) at MYR 5 nett served in a bowl of chicken soup. The beancurd/tofu has been deep fried and the texture is quite firm.

The cafe also sells dry goods from Ipoh so we bought a pack of 8pcs of Hiong Piah (crispy pastry with gooey maltose fillings) made by Yee Hup.

Total is MYR 31.40 nett for 2 pax inclusive of the pack of Yee Hup Pastry. Payment can be made via the local Boost app (mobile wallet).

The full menu consists of these 5 pages. We ordered item A4. Is Buntong famous for beansprouts (Taugeh)?

They serve wan tan mee, char siew and siew yuk too.

We ordered item H11 and maybe during future visits, we will order Fried Sengkuang Cake and meat balls.

Is Ipoh Style Fruit Rojak different from Penang and KL fruit rojak? Maybe one day I will order this to find out. Item J3 is Crispy Beancurd sheets for Rojak at MYR 3 nett to be added on to the Rojak.

Last page of the menu: La Za Rice - many ingredients mixed together with rice - and Jumbo Curry which has many of ingredients as toppings. Both items have reasonable prices at MYR 12.50 nett and MYR 13.5 nett respectively but I don't think I will be trying these dishes because the portion is just too much for me.
