It was a random night at Ipoh when Jason suggested this restaurant with huge portion. Normally I don't fancy of these kind of restaurants knowing that the quality might be a bit off to compromise with quantity for reasonable price.
Yet whatever that can pass Jason's (the picky Ipohian) tongue test usually turned out to be not bad.

 
The hopping kangaroo with Aussie wording certainly helped those who may not understand the meaning of Oz as a slang for Australia.

 
A mix of Australia style between cowboy and tribal, decorated with koala bear and lots of roosters.
As the theme suggests, it's not hard to notice the cowboys (wearing the iconic hat) taking orders and even serving food.

 
Coke with Float (Chocolate) RM4.90 (Left)
Honey Dew Fruit Juice RM4.00 (Right)

 

 

 
Gold Coast Pork Schnitzel RM15
Garlic pork fillet pan fried served with ratatouille sauce on a bed of tomato rice
While ratatouille means stewed vegetable dish and schnitzel is a boneless meat that fried along with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, they've made a perfect combination of crisp and moist.
As a pork lover, I'm glad to see this on the menu because of its porky taste but I doubt its meat texture for such kind of fried steak as it might go very dry and ended up munching shoe leather. This schnitzel had no such problem, but it could be very risky in the wrong hand.

 

 
Outback Roast Chicken RM17.90
in Herbs Bread Sauce with German Potato Salad, Caesar Salad and Onion Rings as side dishes.
It was good: chicken was tender, caesar salad done right with fresh romaine lettuce and crunchy crouton, skin potato salad with onion, crispy yet not too oily onion rings and even a bed of potato with herbs beneath the roasted chicken to absorb the remaining essence. Perhaps a wee bit more seasoning to make this dish a memorable one?
Also, it would be better to have more side dish varieties for those who do not fond of potato.

A restaurant that I would see myself returning.

Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Seafood

 
Earlier this year, Imbi Palace Restaurant as the first outlet was being closed down to make way for future development. After some thought, the management has decided to change the name to Imbi Palace Group, a total rebranding with new name and new logo.

"At the Imbi Palace Group of Restaurants, we want to share our passion for food with you and your loved ones and bring excitement to your palate.”~Mr Lum, Chairman of Imbi Palace Group

 
Floral pattern carpet, art pieces on the wall, along with the pretty chandelier lighting.

 
虫草花鲜螺头炖花胶汤
Double-boiled top shell soup with cordyceps flower& fish maw, RM28

Clear and healthy soup, with each sip of pure essence.

 
堂片北京鸭
Crispy Golden Peking Duck, RM70

Peking duck is a popular dish from Beijing, known by its thin crispy golden skin with just the right amount of meat.

 
堂煎百花鲜带子
Pan-fried stuffed fresh scallop, RM14

Finest scallop from icy cold water of Canada paired with banana prawns from the Gulf of Carpenteria, creating two distinct flavours.

 
白菌汁菇菇鸡
Crispy Boneless Chicken Stuffed With Truffle Oil & Mushrooms, RM80

Also known as "8 Treasures Truffles Chicken", it was prepared by stuffing 8 different type of mushrooms, and infused with truffle sauce.
Strong aromas of mushroom with crispy skin of chicken, yet still maintaining the juiciness of meat.

 
鲍汁南非十八头干鲍
Braised South Africa Dried Abalone, RM88 (Promo Price)

The abalone size is 18-head, which means for 600gram, there are 18 pieces.
Normal price would be RM168.

Smooth and soft with rich coconut flavour. A must try.

Tuck Kee Smile Oct 02, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Noodles

 
"Fifty years of fried noodle experiences, the third generation of Ipoh Tuck Kee is well known for its tender fried War Tan Hor Fun and the delicious of fried noodles with appetizers."

 
Located at Jalan Yau Tet Shin, this restaurant stands at the same row with the famous Lou Wong Bean Sprouts Chicken, attracting many tourists and Ipohians at night, especially during long holidays.

 
Baby Octopus in Soy Sauce 清甜八爪鱼
The octopus is blanched, then poured over with hot oil and soy sauce.
It then was garnished with spring onion and fried garlic, served alongside with special made chili sauce.
This succulent and fresh tasting octopus is a must order!

 
Meatballs Soup 猪肉丸
Though looks normal and unappealing, it has surprised me with its dense and chewy texture, not to mention the dry cuttlefish inside that elevates the porky taste.

 

 
War Tan Hor Fun 滑蛋河粉
Also known as Smooth Rice Noodles with Eggs.
Different with KL, Ipoh War Tan Hor has bigger ratio of egg gravy versus noodles, hence the soupy taste with fried noodles texture.

 
Ipoh Bean Sprouts 怡保芽菜
Another must have at Ipoh.
 
Recommended Dish(es):  Baby Octopus in Soy Sauce
