However, it was comforting to know that a tasty lunch was in store in Ipoh. Yes! The famous chicken and beansprout dishes touted to be the best in the country are synonymous with Ipoh.
We soon found our way to the coffee shop and ordered our meal. The shop was packed but we managed to find a small table tucked in a corner. The food lived up to its reputation.
It was very tasty and the chicken texture was very smooth. The bean sprouts were fat and crunchy and the fish balls had the taste of fish, unlike those we usually find in KL and Kota Kinabalu.
Then we nipped over to the shop selling the chicken biscuits that Ipoh is famous for. I was surprised to find that they have so many flavours now.
By the time my shopping was done, my daughter’s car was fully packed with all the goodies to be distributed back home in Kuala Lumpur as well as in Kota Kinabalu.
After lunch, my spouse wanted to see his alma mater so despite the rain and the Friday traffic jam, we drove past it, just to satisfy his curiosity.
Then we hit the highway to return to KL. Along the way the rain was so heavy that visibility was very poor. At one stretch there was a long queue of vehicles inching slowly forward as there had been a bad accident.
It was a relief to reach home before the sunset as we had a dinner appointment to celebrate my daughter’s birthday.
