Since Thean Chun and Kedai Kopi Kong Heng are located right next to each other, which they are merely separated by an alley, it doesn't require you to look for an empty space for twice in a row. Get yourself settled at a table of either restaurant (if you have a company), move your ass to the stalls to place your order, and wait at your table until your food arrives. It's totally hassle-free! Definitely, do not try to be such an un-thoughtful person to be at Thean Chun when you are only eating food from Kedai Kopi Kong Heng.We had a plate of Chee Cheong Fun at RM3. It was so-so. It's literally rice noodle commonly served at any Chinese restaurants. The only part that differs is the way the dish is prepared, depending on locations.

In Singaporean and Malaysian cuisine, many people prefer serving Chee Cheong Fun with a kind of black sweet sauce called tim zheong. It is likely a variation of hoisin sauce. The popular Penang version uses shrimp paste called hae ko, which is also black and sweet. In Ipoh, another food capital of Malaysia, Chee Cheong Fun is mainly served in two ways, the dry or wet version. In the "dry version", it is served with soy sauce, sesame seeds, fried shallots, onion oil and in most cases, chili sauce as well as pickled green chili. In the "wet version", it is served with curry and mushroom gravy, other than sesame seeds and fried shallots, giving it a rather distinctive Ipoh character. Chee Cheong Fun is a popular breakfast in Singapore and Malaysia, frequently served in coffee shops and Chinese restaurants. There is another kind of special Chee Cheong Fun from a small town, known as Teluk Intan or Teluk Anson. This typical Anson style Chee Cheong Fun is cooked with preserved turnips, minced pork, dried shrimps and fresh green shallots, and served with pickled green chilies. – Copied and edited from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_noodle_roll)Apart from that, Caramel Custard from Thean Chun, or Crème Caramel if that's what you prefer, can never be missed! It's simply awesome and smoother than ever! According to some of the bloggers and websites, it's said their Caramel Custard will be sold out after 10am. However, it was still available during our visit, in a scorching hot afternoon, despite the crowds in and around the restaurant. With RM2.40, you can easily grab a bowl of it from their fridge; well, at least that's what we did. They were too busy to serve us.

Departing from Kepong at 6.30am, we arrived in Ipoh before the clock struck 9 at an average speed of 100km/h. Originally, we planned to have our second breakfast (we had some bread from Bread Story before leaving my house) at Restoran Sin Lean Lee, where it is famous for its Golden Fried Kuey Teow, provided that Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong has a branch in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found until the very last day that we realized we had actually missed another street of the same name. Dang it! We were eventually here at Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong, anyway.RM9.20 for two sets of Ipoh White Coffee and Egg Toast, they are definitely the most preferred breakfast joint in town. Being as picky as my Badman is, the concentration of the Ipoh White Coffee fitted him perfectly well, not to mention me myself who greatly recommended him the cup of coffee.Kedai Kopi Sun Yuan Foong is located right beside Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong, but I'm not too sure if they are related. If you have ever heard of Kedai Makanan Nam Heong, it is located right at the opposite of Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong.

P/S: According to Malaysia Food & Restaurant Reviews, they are closed on Sundays but during our visit on 26th of August, it was still packed with people as usual.

As we walked around the streets nearby our hotel, unexpectedly, we found Funny Mountain! Happy and elated, I literally ran towards the famous dessert place to ask for anything available.Tadaaa!Unfortunately yet somehow fortunate considering the time we arrived at Funny Mountain (5.10pm), we only managed to grab two small bowls of Tau Fu Fah, also known as tofu pudding or soybean pudding, for RM0.90 each. Soya Bean and any other available desserts were sold out. This Tau Fu Fah tasted special in a way, and with its smoothness, none of whatever in my bowl could escape from being poured into my mouth. Really! You must give it a try should you happen to be in Ipoh.

P/S: Many have said that the queues are always ridiculously long, but it was almost empty during our visit. I personally think it actually depends on your luck and your visiting time; correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Jjajang Ramyeon. The noodles were literally similar to the famous Shin Ramyeon that can be found at most of the stores. The jjajang was just some normal sauce that consisted of potatoes and a little bit of meat, topped with some cucumber. I thought it wasn't worth the price paid because if a bowl of ramyeon were to be charged at that price, at least the sauce should be satisfying. I was not unhappy about the sauce, but it could have been much better than it was.

It's been quite a while since my boyfriend wanted to give it a try at any outlet of Tong Pak Fu, because it's been so overly popular on the social networking sites. Hence, there we were, walking into the place like a boss, yet leaving like a frozen human.D24 Durian Snow Ice. After much consideration between this and Tracka Durian Snow Ice, we decided to go for this, although the latter was said to be the best seller. When it was served, the smell was so strong to the extent that I once afraid that the people sitting beside us might not like it and feel disgusted. Anyway, I was slightly disappointed when I realized that the taste of durian was not as strong as expected, which was what I thought could be improved. I mean, how could it be so unsatisfying when it was served during durian season? The shaved ice was pretty normal as well.
