Waraku Japanese Restaurant

1
Cuisines Japanese
Business Hour Lunch and Dinner on weekdays, with a break in between. Opens non-stop from 12pm – 11pm on weekends.

All in all, the meal came to about RM90/USD30 for the three of us. Still, an average sum to fork out nowadays for quality (or sometimes pretentious) Japanese meal if you’re tired of the Sushi Kings, Sakae Sushis and what-nots. And the portions were all rather generous; leaving us huffing and puffing by the end of the meal.

Restoran Ipoh Hometown

Cuisines Chinese

Okay, next round will try one of the MANY types of freshwater fishes they offer. The trade-off? PRICE, of course. Let me get back to you after the next visit.

Ben Tdi Wei Local Delights

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 10.00am ~ 11.00pm

Though BTW is positioned as a no-frills, homely premise serving honest to goodness fares. Not as intimidating as walking into another Oversea or any of the Chinese diners in 5 star hotels. You can even get a very decent, below RM20 per pax meal here for lunch.

Thai Corner

Business Hour Closed on Tuesdays.

Pretty good Thai food that won't burn a hole in your pocket.

All in all, this could be a place that I would think of for a no frills, reasonably-priced Thai feast.

Kam Kee Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese

Passable. Kind of disappointing, actually. The French beans and Sweet and Sour Pork were okay, but the fish was not.

Restoran Lim Kee Tang Hun

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens from 6 pm-12 am Close on alternate Mondays

The abacus seeds that came with a generous amount of minced pork and dried shrimps was a revelation; that yam beads stir-fried in a savoury, dark sauce can taste this good. The yam was of a mushy, yet velvety smooth texture. Something that I personally like.

Kar Heng Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 12pm – 6.30pm daily Closed one day every two weeks, not fixed.

I don’t deny that the porridge here was good. Not the best, but still worthy of a visit.

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 12pm – 3pm daily Closed only on major Chinese festivals.

Business Hour Wednesday to Sunday, from 9.00am until 11.30pm.

The plump and juicy scallops were satisfactory, though I found the pesto rolled chicken ‘biscuits’ to be underwhelming, pale in comparison to the lamb and the cod.

Chee Cheong Fun Stall

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens daily 2pm – 5pm. Closed on Wednesdays

Her mushroom gravy (‘tung koo chap’) pales in comparison to some of the better ones; being slightly watery and not laden with earthy, robust flavours of the chopped shiitake mushrooms.

Ben's General Food Store (BGFS)

Cuisines Western
Business Hour 9.00am to 10.00pm daily

I would not say that everything tasted fabulous from that one meal alone. But the deli-like ambience coupled with a very laid-back nature of tucking in into platefuls of shared salads, pastas, mains and such ….. it’s definitely a communal affair.

No proper signboard or address, so I guess you just have to look for THIS blue and green sign above the stall.

Greentown Dim Sum Cafe

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens from 8am until 9pm daily. Closed on Tuesdays.

Everything’s steamed and fried freshly before served, hence you can imagine the wait if the crowd is thick. When we were there, the shop was about 50% occupied, and we had to brace a 20-minutes wait for the first item to arrive. Then a couple of minutes in between each serving. A compromise for FRESHNESS, maybe?
