The kaya puffs in Sin Eng Heong is popular not only among the locals but also among the many tourists who visits Ipoh. On festivities or long weekends, the queue for the kaya puffs may take up to 2 hours. I could not get the kaya puffs last time I came to Ipoh for this reason, but this time I was determined to buy some back.

They sell in 2 different sizes which you can choose from a box of 5 (RM4) or a box of 10 (RM8). When I arrived, I had to wait for 15 minutes or so before the kaya puffs were freshly taken out from the oven. The kaya puffs were fluffy and light on the many layers of crust. In fact, it breaks easily upon biting it, so it is better to eat it with a plate. The kaya was still warm when I ate it. It was fragrant with full of kaya taste. The kaya was also very smooth and surprisingly not as firm compared to many other inferior ones outside. It is absolutely delicious for breakfast or tea.

The wantan mee at Restaurant Macy consists of some sliced bbq pork, wan tan in soup and a few pieces of vegetables. Unlike most of the other dishes in this restaurant, the wantan mee here is relatively much smaller. The noodle was cooked to a little softer and soggier than what I would prefer. The BBQ pork served in this dish is a little let down as it does not have a decent amount of fat on it, unlike most other cha siew that I am usually accustomed too. The wan tan fillings were quite small. Given the expectations of Ipoh food, this dish was a total let down. I will definitely not order this in the future.

Restaurant Macy at Ipoh Garden East has been opened for quite some time and it is a favourite among the locals. This restaurant is pretty famous and expect to wait for tables during peak hours or holiday season. I ordered the Pan Mee, as I was looking to try some Ipoh ones. The seller recommended me to try their dry version, so I ordered it with thin noodles. For a small pan mee, the one served here is definitely much bigger than expected. This dish of pan mee consists of a generous amount of sliced mushrooms, anchovies, vegetables and minced pork. The noodles are well cooked and it has a nice flavour and it is lightly salted, which is great. Although I have tasted better ones in KL, the pan mee here isn't too bad.

Another famous snack which is commonly found at the northern states of Malaysia is the Pulut Kaya. Basically it is glutinous rice which is served with kaya. A serving like this only costs RM2.20. The glutinous rice is sticky, and very fragrant. Unlike the Penang version, this one does not have the standard blue colouring. It is complemented with a generous amount of kaya, making it a sweet dessert-like snack suitable to be eaten all day. The kaya served is fragrant and smooth. A serving like this can be very filling, so it is best to be shared after a meal.
