Late Dinner At Restoran Tuck Kee, Ipoh.

One evening, we had a late dinner because hubby had something to attend to. We were thinking of having noodles for dinner and we thought of Tuck Kee's Fried Fat Noodles and Blanched Octupus dish!

We used to go to the original Restoran Tuck Kee, but now we prefer this newer Tuck Kee along Jalan Theatre. I am not sure whether this is a branch of the original Tuck Kee or not, but the shop here looks newer and brighter.
They have framed up menu on the wall.
If you are at a lost on what to order, take a look and point out your order. So easy!
Everything looks delicious!
 It was full house...
 We took an empty table along the 5 foot way, just outside the shop.
 We ordered blanched octupus. Or is it steamed? 
The centre plate of chili sauce is dipping sauce for the octupus.
The 2 other sauces on the sides are for the noodles.
Fried flat rice noodles with prawns, pork slices and veggie. 
 And this is my favourite. Fried fat or broad yellow noodles with prawns, pork slices, veggie and of course crispy lard. All the above are the smallest portion..

    1. Hi Gosia, my dinner time is quite flexible. Usually it is between Malaysian time 7 to 8 pm. Sometimes it can be as early as 5.30 pm. For this particular evening, we had our noodle dinner about 9 pm.

    1. Hi Tom, I think it looks big because the food is spread out on a shallow plate.

  10. The fried fat or broad yellow noodles with prawns, pork slices, veggie and of course crispy lard looks like KL Hokkien Char.

  16. I feel like I'm out to dinner with you! I enjoy the scenery in the background and how colorful it is! I made vegetable tofu last night in a homemade Asian sauce. Recipe said to cube my tofu, dry it out and bake for 30 min in the oven for a toasty effect. Tom did not like it. I think the cook was trying to appease vegans who miss meat and trying to get it to taste more like meat!

    1. Thank you, Mary. I think the tofu in your recipe will become dry and hard. Over here, we like the tofu to be crispy on the outside and silky smooth and soft on the inside. Tofu will be tough if overcooked. Tofu is substitute for meat as a veggie protein.

  17. Oo that octopus looks real good! On whether it's blanch or steam, my bet is on 'blanch' coz it's faster hehe.
