Uh, in that case, may ttry to make a peep on this so called beat-all-nga-choi-kai of Ipoh someday.
u know tat thr is 2 more nga choi kai place that is good?
COwan Street,and another in Ipoh Garden (near anika selera)
I tell u, better than these two!
Wah, more nga choi kai!
OK I still have one to mention.
The one at Restoran 33 near SPPK traffic light. This one beat the hell all of the nga choi kai in the planet... ask you die or not
muahahah!
Well, great food are quite subjectives towards individual preference and taste.
One of my relative at KL likes Lou Wong and say it was the best!
For me, I don't like Lou Wong. I would go any other nga choi kai rather than Lou Wong.
Yeah....Restaurant 33 chicken hor fun super tasty, last time they sell at Tmn Pegoh, Pengkalan. The uncle married with an indian. His (chi+ind) sons speak cantonese.
i demand u do justice to the best Beansprout Chicken stall, Cowan Street. It is so damn good, that you can hardly find places to sit most of the time.
They boss don't even have any scheduled business hours as he would open the stall whenever he feels like it (snobbish cuz his nga choi kai is the best). You definitely must blog about that stall.
I agree that good food is all about personal preference. No right and wrong.
Ipoh is definitely a place for good food. I visit Ipoh at least once a year for food and have tried all that are listed above.
Cowan Street is good but as Robb says - no fixed business hours.
Onn Kee (Air-conditioned) is the best for me; their meatballs are good too.
Lou Wong has been widely "advertised" in travel guide books and has gone on TV shows in Malaysia and Singapore. Hence, tourists flock there. Tourists don't get the luxury of tasting same food at different restaurants. This place is a no-no for me.
Oh, there's one at Buntong which tastes good too but waiting time can kill.
I'm from Singapore. This Christmas will be my third trip to Ipoh this year.
well....Cowan Street is good ,there is no doubt about that,but the one in Buntong is the same recipe and if i am not wrong,they are brothers....same Sifu...hahaha
They are definitely the best in town as far as i am concern..
Yah zach is right...i tried the one at restaurant central and it tasted so good ! ....the sauce is irresistable.....
PLease give us more review on the Nga choi kai ...hha :D
