Lunch At Hoong Tho Restaurant In Ipoh Old Town.

This post is about a lunch we had with friends in the middle of January. Since all of us preferred noodles, we went to Hoong Tho Restaurant in Ipoh old town. We ordered the following for 4 people.

Deep fried dumplings or wontons.

4 fish balls for 4 people.

Flat rice noodle in egg gravy - single portion.

Yee mee or chewy noodle in dark sauce.

After we have finished our lunch, we just couldn't resist buying 2 pieces of these traditional sponge cake from the same restaurant to share.

And we also bought a chempedak cake to take home to enjoy. Chempedak is something like the jack fruit but it is softer and has a nice fragrance.

Hubby only ate a few pieces, I finished off the rest.

The restaurant also sells these Chinese New Year cookies and snacks.

A few shops away, we stopped to look at these Chinese sausages and waxed meat. These waxed items are usually sold before the Chinese New Year.

We bought 2 pieces of waxed duck legs which is hubby's favourite.

Buah Bidara - a tropical fruit, crisp and a bit juicy and a bit sweet.

This is the first time I bought and tasted these fruits.
