While we were still in Penang, our friend was telling us about the Yes Restaurant in Taiping and suggested that we go there for lunch.
With the help of Waze, we reached Yes Restaurant just after 2 pm.
There was no lunch crowd at that time. We ordered only 3 dishes because we were not very hungry.
4 glasses of Chinese tea.
Fried tofu with minced pork.
Water spinach (kangkong) with sambal belacan.
We came specially for this dish. Yam and fish in a clay pot.
There were chunky pieces of fish inside the yam gravy.
~~~~~
After lunch, we made a short visit to the Antong Coffee Mill.
This is the 3rd time I have been here.
This is the house when Dr Sun Yat Sen stayed when he was in Taiping.
On the other side of the fence.
Traditional way of roasting the coffee beans.
Coffee tree - Robusta variety.
Coffee tree - Arabica variety.
Coffee tree - Liberica variety.
Wall mural.
Antong Cafe
Free tasting of the different types of coffee for visitors.
Water plants in the compound.
I am interested in the water plants with the tiny leaves. I have not seen this before.
After our visit to Antong Coffee Mill, we were taken to Plaza Perbandaran.
Our friends wanted to buy Taiping buns.
After this, we drove back to Ipoh.
These were the buns we bought at Plaza Perbandaran.
I bought 6 sweet potato plain buns and 5 coconut buns. I gave some to my neighbours and kept these for ourselves.
I bought the above from Antong Cafe. Instant Golden Roast Antong Coffee, dried bread and coconut biscuits.
The above items were from Penang. Penang Assam Laksa paste, Penang Prawn Mee Paste, Sambal Dried Prawns or Sambal Hae Bee and dried ginger. These will be enough until our next visit to Penang.

but plenty left over to give joyfully to others.

Yam and fish in claypot must be good and tasty. I never have that before.
ReplyDeleteI love this dish. First time tasting this.

Thank you and have a great day.
DeleteInteresting and thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Thank you, Margaret. Take care and stay safe.
DeleteYes the water plant with small diamond leaves is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI have spent countless days in Taiping since both my grandparents lived there. Without internet, without foodie tourism, I didn't know any food except the kuih and CKT in Larut market. Also heard of the goreng pisang. And that's it.
Taiping is now so different from those old days. Its a nice place to visit once in a while to enjoy their local food.
DeleteThanks for sharing all the photos of taiping because I have never been there. The food looks good but the yam gravy looks watery. Are there yam pieces in the yam gravy?
ReplyDeleteWe like the watery yam gravy, its like eating yam porridge.
Delete...the Dr Sun Yat Sen house is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteDid you test all the coffee in Antung cafe? The cafe looks ancient.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I will taste all the different types of coffee there. Its not really a cafe because there is no tables or chairs for customers.
DeleteGood to see you bought cooking paste and snacks from both Penang and taiping. A fruitful trip. The water plant with tiny leaves looks so special since the tiny leaves are arranged in a geometrical pattern. Is there a market inside plaza perbandaran?
ReplyDeleteI am keeping my eyes open for the tiny leaves water plants. There is not much going on in the Plaza Perbandaran now. My friend wanted to buy the buns from there. It was past lunch hours so I don't know if there are many stalls in the morning.
DeleteIt's a "yes" for me on all the dishes that u ordered from the Yes Restaurant. Looks good and delicious!
ReplyDeleteIts definitely a "Yes" for me too. Its worth revisiting this restaurant.
DeleteThat yam fish claypot sounds and looks really delicious!
