Ipoh is famous for its Old Town White Coffee, but what other food can you have with your favourite cup of coffee?

Sun Yuan Foong is claimed to be the one offering the “real” original white coffee meanwhile their rival, Sun Yuan Loong, is runned by a close relative of them. Hence, you should know by now why I chose to have my meal here, lol.

We did not manage to try all the available foods offered by Sun Yuan Foong, but these are some of them that we had tried.

We ordered the cheese and ham sandwich to complement with a warm cup of white coffee. Nothing really special about this meal. It is so obvious that the sandwich was made by using a sandwich maker. The ingredient was just enough for me. Not too much and not too little. More room for me to have my Ipoh “Nga Choy Gai” later.

Another set we ordered is the toast bread with sausage and a half boiled egg. This is a typical set which is recommended here. Although it is a very simple dish, but dining here along with this toasted bread set coupled with their famous white coffee does brings back the olden days feelings.

If you fancy making your own toast bread at home but also want to have Sun Yuan Foong’s white coffee, you may purchase their white coffee powder from them. If you haven’t try Ipoh’s famous White Coffee, I truly recommend this place. The old building together with their old menus will definitely bring back a lot of olden days memories about this place. I would consider this place is a must-go place for a tourist visiting Ipoh. Note that, they are not open at night. They normally closes at about 6pm.

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is currently facing very tough challenges since the mushrooming of a more modern franchised kopitiams such as Old Town Kopitiam and many others.

In earlier times, drinking a cup of coffee here is like buying branded items. But now, nobody cares. As long as the coffee is good, there will be people flocking to buy it.

Caramel Macchiato is Coffee Bean’s latest promotional drink. The Macchiato Coffee is served hot with some caramel toppings. This cup of coffee is priced at RM11.80.

Ahh….coffee. It keeps you awake and also helps you to keep going. Being a normal person, I never fail to get my coffee fix everyday. Well, normally I will wake myself up with a nice cup of 3-in-1 Old Town Coffee. But today I had an exceptionally long and tiring day from work, so I rewarded myself with a cup of coffee from Coffee Bean.

The great Tudor Dining Hall was built in 1529. This dining hall has attracted many famous people to dine here.

In the earlier times, this dining hall was used by Charles I who held his parliament here. Not only that, Elizabeth I had also watched a play here before. Even Charlie Chaplin was here too. The hall was the inspiration for Hogwarts in the Harry Porter film.

Leading towards the Tudor Dining Hall, the Great Staircase was also featured in the movie.

Taiwan is famous for their street food. Almost every night market in Taipei, Taiwan there are many stalls selling pork sausages. I have to admit that I did not try all the pork sausages they have here. But this is one of the best I’ve tried in Taiwan. It far exceeds my expectation before I came to Taiwan. The Malaysian ones were not as good as these ones.

Located in Raohe Street Night Market in Taipei, this is the best wild boar meat sausage I’ve ever tried. The colourful street lights of Raohe Night Market makes our experience here in Taipei more exciting. Lots of street food were being sold here.

The sausage meat were very compact and delicious. There are very little fats, if you compare this with those that were processed before-hand. Their business were so good that we had to queue for 10 minutes for our order to be ready.

Kajang is the best place to have satay if you love to have satays. But if you are in Subang, there is another alternative to also have a good satay meal. The place to go is the Pondok Satay which is located in USJ.

One thing odd here is the price of the satays. These chicken satays are priced at RM0.62 for each sticks.

The satay sauce and the sambal chili sauce were served separately. The sambal chili was very spicy hence a little bit of it is sufficient. But then again, if you love spicy satay you may put a bit more.
