After our dinner, the zombies weren’t full enough, hence we continued with our plans for the night. Next stop was Onn Kee Restaurant. Unfortunately, they sold out by the time we reached there, so we settled for Restoran Lou Wong, which was opposite Onn Kee Restaurant.
... I heard the place opens until midnight.
... the Chinese name of it.
... isn't it a little late for dinner? Yet the place was still crowded.
... some herbal drink.
... the infamous Ipoh bean sprouts. A must have when you are in town.
... white chicken isn't exactly my kind of chicken. I prefer roasted.
... Ipoh was famous for its flat noodle (沙河粉).

Firstly, I’m not a big fan of steamed chicken. I’m a roasted chicken guy. Aside from the unappetizing look on the chicken (probably due to the lighting as well when the photo was taken), I had to be careful of my strict diet as well. I had about 2 pieces of it and yet I still don’t understand what’s so special behind steamed chicken. Anyway, the sesame oil used was quite nice but just not enough.
The bean sprouts were acceptable but they weren’t the fattest I’ve had though, so it was just so-so. Then the worst would be the flat noodle (沙河粉). The soup was very plain, like salted water, the noodle were soggy. It tasted really yucky. Probably because I wasn’t that hungry, yet I had to finish a bowl by myself. Anyway, the flat noodle I had the day before was much better, maybe because it was filled with Aji.
I don’t understand why the place was so crowded when the food wasn’t even nice. But I head, the locals preferred Onn Kee instead. Perhaps what I saw were tourists, or they fell victim to Lou Wong because Onn Kee sold out. A place to avoid on next encounter. If you’re very hungry, just stop by 7-11 and get an instant cup noodle. It makes your life less miserable.
