Special Yong Tau Foo @ North Bridge Road Market & Food Centre, Singapore

YTF for breakfast, yeahhh. I think I've found another personal favourite for my ytf fix.

The queue can be long at times, but the turnaround is fast, talk about efficiency!:) And the best part, the auntie is very friendly and chatty.

This round I wasn't sure what to go for and I let the auntie decide for me, went for a dry version with bee hoon. Check out the chilli plus the sweet sauce and generous portions of fried shallots.

Comes with a small soup on the side.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'll recommend to pick more of the fried ytfs, as I found those gems to be uber licking good.

MTR 1924 Vegetarian Restaurant @ Serangoon Road, Singapore.

Now this place a friend of mine recommended to me, did my usual breakfast weekend fix and boy was he right.

A masala dosa. This is one of the meanest good piece version of dosa I've come across after some time. The hefty price justifies it. Good awesome stuff. The potatoes stuffed inside lasted me way after lunch.

A filter coffee, not bad.

Merdeka Garden Curry Mee @ Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

If your hungry late at night, and if your craving curry mee, or koew teow kicap, this place or literally a stall with decks of chairs and table by the roadside is definitely a local institution. This is my first time visiting after they swapped locations (hence people called it merdeka garden curry mee, as it used to be located there), still run by the same uncle and auntie.

Ordered my usual koew teow kicap, check out the nice chilli sauce I added on top, killer.

And my ytf in curry broth.

Just beautiful, the ytf soaks up the curry, uber delicious, and koew teow in Ipoh? You can't go wrong. I'm a very happy man, haven't had this in years, and the taste is still there. Top notch stuff.

Kedai Kopi Sun Yuan Foong @ Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

Back to my ccf craving, another coffee shop which is famous for its white coffee but there's a stall that does ccf in there. Weeee two birds with one stone :)

Good freaking stuff, portions was ample and it hit the spot.

I was feeling extra greedy, so I ordered their specialty, toast bread with half boil egg on top (make sure you add the soya sauce and white pepper as per usual) and a white coffee to wash it down. The bread was a bit cold but the egg made it up. The coffee? You can't go wrong with white coffee in Ipoh, just lovely.

Mee Kicap @ Mee Daud Mat Jasak, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

Ipoh is all about the noodles, and this in particular is the least talked about. Mee Kicap is a simple dish of just tossing the noodles in soya sauce(not sure what's the concoction of thick or light soya and maybe oil?) and normally served with your choice of yong tau foo either in curry or clear broth.

The ytf for your pickings.

 Opted for yellow noodles and koew teow, drizzled with the soya sauce, some taugehs and fried shallots on top.

Ytf dunked in curry broth, not bad. Now the trick of eating this is pair it with the fiery chilli sauce. Give a generous dollop on the noodles, mix it all in, slurp it up. Scoop up the broth and have a taste of if, pick the ytf and dunk it in the same chilli sauce on the side. Repeat. Sinful but good.

Directions as you enter Jalan Dato Onn Jaafar from Jalan Sultan Iskandar, it should be the 1st left corner coffee shop next to a lorong/lane.

Chee Cheong Fun @ Kedai Kopi Keng Nam, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

I've been on this chee cheong fun/ccf craving for the longest time. This coffee shop is more well known for their curry mee and pulut kaya, but they also have a ccf stall inside. Woo hoo!

Check this baby out, Ipoh ccf, basic stuff, chilli, sesame seeds, fried shallots, oil and served with cut pickled green chilli. Lacking of looks but bursting with taste.

Pair it with white coffee, simple breakfast but a satisfying meal.

Hor Hee @ Restoran Li Heng Fatt, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

I was suppose to check out this place for brunch, but on a late afternoon dying of hunger, I decided to come here instead of joining the mad queues for brunch.

He he, and the place was quiet and so many empty tables yay! This was around 5ish-6 pm.

A bowl of hor hee, I opted for hor fun. Comes in a nice bowl of lightly flavoured broth, and generous amount of sliced fish cakes, fish balls, and I think was a fish wan ton. The whole package was just deliciously yummy goodness.

A glass of (correct me if I'm wrong again) umbra juice with sour plum. Sweet salty sour taste to the extreme but hits all the right spots.

A humble coffee shop that sells a good bowl of noodles in the old town part of Ipoh.
