Our original plan was lunch at Restoran Wong Koh Kee in Ipoh old town buuut..................the place was packed to the gills and there was a horde of people waiting outside for seats even though it wasn't even 12 noon yet. So, emergency plan - change venue to Restoran Ipoh Hometown. We settled for their set lunch for 4 pax. First to arrive was the crispy skin tofu with mince meat. The tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very tasty. Then came the fried pork ribs. Something like fried chicken. Full of flavour. Yum, yum. Next was the 'paku choy' (fern shoots, I think) in sambal belacan. A perfect blend of flavours with just the right degree of spiciness. Nice. Then, the soup arrived. There were lots of stuff in it - Chinese cabbage, carrot, seaweed, tomato, meat patties and mushroom. Good till the last drop. Finally, there was the claypot stewed fish with 'kei chi' (Chinese wolfberries) and Chinese mushrooms. Good. Can even taste the 'kei chi' in the fish which was deep fried beforehand. To round things up - dessert of red bean soup. All these plus rice for 4 persons and free flow of Chinese tea came up to only RM42.00. Yes folks, that's right - forty two ringgit only. Now that's what I call a steal, no?
Restoran Ipoh Hometown is located at Jalan Medan Ipoh 1, Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh behind Old Town Kopitiam near Tesco.
