Thean Chun Coffee Shop, Ipoh

This time, I went all the way to Ipoh to food hunt. Well, not exactly the main reason I went to Ipoh but I actually went there for a business trip for work in purposes. This so happen to be one of our lunch spot. Since it was only an hour of lunch break, we quickly headed to Thean Chun Coffee Shop to have lunch. They are well known for the Kai See Hor Fun which is Chicken Kuey Teow Soup.

We had to wait about 20 minutes before we got to eat this Kuey Teow Soup. I always eat this dish in Pappa Rich or Old Town. After having this bowl of the original Kai See Hor Fun, I now know the actual taste it is suppose to be. And oh my... It was so delicious! The Hor fun was not like the usual Hor fun you would have.

This coffee shop is also famous for their Egg Custard! I kid you not, it was PERFECT! The texture was on point and it was tasty. It wasn't too sweet at all.
You know how they say if the Panna Cotta stays steady, it's a successful Panna cotta. So we can confidently deduce that this was a successful Egg Custard!

A colleague of mine was from Ipoh so she order all their famous food from the coffee shop. She even order Pork Satay and Chee Cheong Fun which has filling in it! It was spicy so I didn't get to eat but everyone says it was good! 


Hehehehehe. Here comes my favourite! Popiah and this time we even have fried popiah! I have never tried fried popiah before and this was the first time! And it was so so so so so good! I even wanted to dapao it back all the way back to Klang but it wasn't possible. It probably be bad already. 
Even the normal popiah was good! But my favourite was still the fried one! Not only it was something different, but it was tasteful! We would normally expect that when u fried it everything would just comes out or be over fried. This wasn't the case at all. Everything was just simply PERFECT! My tummy was so happy that day. I was so full, definitely overeat but it was totally worth it at all!

So here's another place you can explore when you are there in Ipoh.

Pince & Pints, KL

My friend bought me to this place to have dinner last weekend. We had this in London previously. I've also blogged about the place quite awhile go. So, this shop Pince & Pints is quite similar to Burger & Lobsters except instead of 3 style, they offer 4 different style.

Pince & Pint is located in Bangsar, KL, super far away from my home all the way in Klang. 
Took the photo from Google image because I didn't take it from outside. All I took was the food 😂😂

So, the menu for food was just lobster done in 4 different styles which is the :
a) Live Whole Lobster with a choice of Grilled or Steamed with Chef Salad, Straight Cut Fries and Herb Butter Sauce

b) The Lobster Roll with Chef Salad, Straight Cut Fries and Garlic Aioli

c) Chilli Lobster with Fried Mantou, Homemade Fresh Tomato & Chilli Sauce 

d) Lobster Noodles - Wok Fried Lobster, Egg Noodles, Ginger and Scallion

All of the dish is price RM158+++
And yes, it's super expensive. We ate it in London for about 20 pounds so I guess its more expensive in KL.

Anyway, we ordered the Grilled Lobster and Lobster Noodle. In fact I think the lobster noodle is to suit us Asian taste because in Chinese restaurant, the lobster is famous cooking with noodle and in this style as well.

Grilled Live Whole Lobster

Totally love the lobster. It was fresh, tasty, delicious! The Grilled Lobster was good as well especially when dipped into the Herb Butter Sauce. It mix so well, just perfect! The lobster noodle was tasty as well but the noodle did not beat the noodles in the Chinese Restaurant.

If I have to choose, I would say the Lobster Noodles was better if its to compare the lobster meat. The lobster was more well done for this dish then the grilled lobster but don't get me wrong! Both were equally good. It's not everyday I have dinner here as it's extremely pricy only on special occasions. 

On a scale to 10, I would give it an 8.5! The ambiance of the restaurant is actually really nice. It's not the noisy restaurant and actually look classy. There is also a bar at the side. They do serve alcohol as well! So, if you are looking for a place to have lobster, I would say this would be a good dining place!
