芽菜雞 Chicken Beansprout

When ever we passed by Bumah Road, I’ll tend to look at this stall which is next to former Super Departmental Store, which is now a make up training centre I believe.

What caught my attention is the Bean Sprout Chicken, I could see few of those chicken hanging up there, and a few tables for customers to sit. Though it’s in the coffee shop, however this stall is so pathetic that it’s placed outside the shop.

There was one Saturday, hubby missed his lunch due to heavy workload at work. Not that he has to work over the weekend, but that weekend, he was so busy and missed his lunch. Therefore, we had something light like such, and we both were driving around that area and that stall caught my attention again.

I told hubby lets have that… I would have say that flat noodle doesn’t look like Ipoh flat noodles, it looks slight fatter compared to Ipoh one is slightly thinner in shape.

Chicken is smooth and tender and also… juicy too. Am sure it cooked it thru the right timing.

Bean sprouts, though unlike Ipoh bean sprout fat and short, but it’s a must have item whenever you’re into this.

This stall also sell oil rice or porridge, depending on customer’s request.

Not a bad place to hop into if you miss your lunch or tend to have late lunch.

Oh ya, talk about my trip to KL. Before I went to KL, I was actually enjoying Ipoh smooth hor fun 河粉 (Flat noodles) on my way down.

No doubt this shop wasn't the famous one, but then, by looking at these plates, am sure you know it was pretty delicious, huh? Otherwise, why would we sapu all wor!? Right??

This shop is located at Ipoh Garden South where you need to drive passed Ipoh Kinta City Shopping Mall (where everyone only remember Jaya Jusco).

You will see Jusco on your left, and you need to drive further where you could see a traffic light at the T junction. Then, pusing kanan (turn right), drive all the way down, where you will drive pass the North South Highway overhead bridge above you. And you will see a stretch of shop houses on your right, and further down, you will see single storey houses on your right too.

After the stretch of old houses, you will see the new residential area in front of you and you will see another row of shop houses on your right. I can't really remember the shop name, but this shop where I went, it is actually few shops apart from a Vet. So, you won't run too far away from it.

What I like about the shop is because it's clean, and things are neat. Unlike the famous Lou Wong which is located in Ipoh New Town (@ Jalan Yau Tet Shin) is kinda messy, and noisy. Tables and chairs are being placed at the road side.

Oh ya, what I like about this Ipoh Nga Choi Kai 芽菜雞 (Bean Sprouts Chicken), it's because it looks so fat and juicy. Don't believe me, huh?? Check this out, friend!!!

No joke leh??? Juicy hor?

And look at the hor fun (in Cantonese) or koay teow (in Hokkien)... ya, I agreed, it looks dull... but hey, it is so smooth and fine.

The chicken that we ordered was smooth and tender. It is not like over cooked where you find it too hard nor too errr .... ai ya, don't know how to put it into words...

See yourself, huh?!

So, do look for 芽菜雞 whenever you're in Ipoh. If this shop is too difficult for you to check it out. Go for the famous Lou Wong (老黄芽菜雞) or Oon Kee (安記芽菜雞).
