Day 80 ... Pan Mee Noodle Lunch In Ipoh



Today, Bryan and I took a trip up north. We stopped by Ipoh for lunch. Since we had Ipoh Hor Fun (rice noodles) the last trip, we decided to try a fairly new Pan Pee (Flour Noodles) restaurant that is opposite the Ipoh Viva Center. :D

 Bryan ordered Spicy Dry Pan Mee. 
See the heap of sambal (chilly) at 2 o'clock?

 He enjoyed it very much, and wanted me to take this snapshot for HIS blog.
Grin. Too late. 

 I went through the menu, and came across 
Set No. 11 : WOLFBERRY PAN MEE.
Wolfberry? Your guess is as good as mine.
I checked and the waiter assured me that the only meat in it was chicken meat.
No, no WOLF ... not even in disguise, I don't think.

My WOLF noodles came this way. No marks for presentation, huh.
Looks kinda messy, don't You think? 

Immediately, leaned over to Bryan and said,
"Exchange half-half." 

That means, I eat half of mine, and he eats half of his, and we swap.
I normally resort to immediate sharing when the thing I order turns out not as expected.

Oh Yes, by the way, we had Iced Milk Tea with our lunch.
Oh, the teh si peng was just excellent!

Close up. Looks like yee mee noodle at first glance,
but the waiter said, it's made of PUMPKIN
Pumpkin???
Oh okay ... Let's just try it ...

After my first mouthful, leaned over to Bryan again and said,
"No need to share." :D

The noodles were smooth and nice, soup was tasty,
  I added side sambal (chilly) to spice things up a notch.

 We ordered a "middle" dish.
In our family, whenever we eat out, we normally call a "middle dish."
A dish that is placed in the middle (of the table) for all to try. 
Sometimes, we call just one middle dish, sometimes two, sometimes three ...

Oooohhhhh ... The dumplings were just awesome ... :D
The dumpling wrap was all slippery, soft and smooth.
That itself got BONUS points from me.

Normally, I chew up the dumpling skin all around the meat, 
and pass the meaty part to Bryan. 
This one though, I didn't. 
The filling was actually quite, quite good. :D
