Lunch At Restoran Fan Chen Mei, Bercham

After our visit to Gunung Lang Recreational Park which I shared in yesterday's post (please click here if you are interested), we had lunch at Restoran Fan Chen Mei, 3a, Persiaran Medan Bercham 3, Taman Bercham Baru, Ipoh. We were the first customers and we occupied the biggest table. There were 7 of us. We were early and we have plenty of time to go through the menu. Our friends finally settled for the following dishes.

Ordered 2 types of soup. One is the double steamed coconut chicken soup. I didn't snap photo of this soup.
The 2nd soup is this spicy sour fish maw soup Foo Chow style.
Tofu with minced pork.
Stinky beans with minced pork and sambal belacan.
The beans were tender and everyone enjoyed this dish.
Steamed fish (I don't know the name of this fish).
Fried soy sauce prawns.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious lunch. Hubby's friend and family will be returning to this restaurant the next evening with his siblings.

The following photos were taken at the Gunung Lang Recreational Park.
There are many monkeys on the other side of the lake but this one stood out from the rest. It wasn't afraid of people and came quite close to us.
It was watching hubby and probably expecting food from hubby.
Good thing it didn't disturb us because we were not carrying any food items except for some bottle of drinking water.
It didn't mind when I pointed my phone camera in its direction.
Finally, it decided to give me a good pose by looking directly into the camera. Thank you, my little friend.

  1. Steamed coconut chicken soup? We do not have that here, wish I could try. I guess it is sweet since coconut water is sweet? Foochow style fish maw soup? Don't think I've seen anything like that here - probably Sitiawan Foochow style. Ooooo...I love petai!

    1. We were not afraid because we were not carrying any thing edible and the monkey knows it.

  12. I'm glad to know you guys had a great time at the restaurant. The lone monkey appears to be accustomed to humans by remaining quiet and looking around. As you mentioned, approaching monkeys with food in hand is dangerous.
    Have a great week ahead

    1. Thank you, Stacy. The Gunung Lang recreational park is open now. If you are planning a visit to Ipoh, you can also visit the Tasik Cermin and the Kek Lok Tong, which I myself have not been. If you are interested, you can google.
