Lunch At Tan Cha Kee Cafe, Ipoh

A friend shared this eatery with me on Whatsapp and later another friend had lunch at the same eatery and shared photos of the food they ate with me. I was keen to try so we went for lunch 2 Mondays ago. The name of the eatery is Tan Cha Kee at 104C, Jalan Chung Ah Ming, Taman Hoover, Ipoh.

There is no big signboard of the eatery on the outside. I used Waze app to show me the exact location of this eatery. You will need to go up the stairs on the right side.

We were seated and received the menus. At that time there were other customers having their lunch, so I didn't take any photos of the interior.

This was brought to our table. The hot water in the enamel mug is for sterilizing, to clean tableware.

I ordered plain drinking water @ RM0.80 and it came in the beige colour enamel mug.

If I am not mistaken, hubby ordered honey lime water @ RM4.50 and it was served in the blue enamel mug. Using enamel mugs and plates seems to be the current trend.

Hubby ordered herbal chicken rice at RM14.90. There is a steamed whole chicken leg (free range chicken), rice, 1 hard boiled egg, cucumber slices and some blended ginger. The herbal chicken is flavourful. You can even order a whole herbal chicken for take away if you are interested.

I ordered chicken rendang with ramen noodle @ RM14.90. 

There is ramen noodle, whole chicken leg rendang, 1 fried egg, fried peanuts, cucumber slices and some shredded pickles. Since hubby don't eat hard boiled egg, I took the hard boiled egg and gave me the fried egg. Overall, it was a satisfying and filling lunch.

After the other customers left, I started to take some snapshots of the interior.

When my friend came with his family, they were given a room.

The decoration makes the place looks like an old fashioned tea house in the old days.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;

you fools, when will you become wise?

Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?

Does he who formed the eye not see?

Does he who disciplines nations not punish?

Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?

The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.

(Psalm 94:8-11, New International Version-NIV)
