The "short-tempered" chu cheong fun uncle


Tried it and you will love it! It's at the Pusing town, opposite the only police station in town. Pusing is located in Batu Gajah district of Perak. It's about 30 minutes aways from Ipoh town. This is also my hubby's hometown. I bet a lot of people have not hear about this Pusing town. I'm one of them too before I know my hubby. It is a small town with mostly Chinese and Indian population here. Most of the people here do farming and small business. It's consider a Hakka village as well but my in-laws are Cantonese living here since childhood. This chu cheong fan stalls has opened since many many years ago, > 20 yrs. There are only two choices of chu cheong fan here. One is with mushroom gravy and the other one is with curry gravy. I like both but most people prefer the curry gravy one. My hubby can eat up to 3 plates on just chu cheong fan..hehe.. Besides chu cheong fan, Pusing is also famous for its Hakka & nyonya kuih, Chiet kuen (cut meat rolls), dao ma chiet (like pan mee but using knife to cut the noodles), curry wildbor meat with noodles, and etc.


The following food is found at Chemor town (@Restoran Hoong Wan) - Great Seafood noodles! with it's famous fish meaty 'slices'







Food @ Jalan Bahagia Kelana Jaya (behind UTAR Kelana Jaya)

All these food can be found in the chinese coffeeshop behind UTAR Kelana Jaya (beside GIANT Kelana Jaya) or beside the Kelana Jaya Sentral Apartment. I'm sorry I forgot to capture the name of the coffeeshop but don't worry as you will see the coffeeshop on your right once you turn into Jalan Bahagia from LDP :) [Anyway, I'll try to get the name]. When we come and stay in my sister-in-law's place, we always have our breakfast here, and the steam soup is a must for every breakfast! 8tv Ho-jiak team also tried before the soup! At night, there is also a thai chu-char here. Most of the food here are sold at RM4 per bowl/plate.


Wantan noodles with big 3 sui kows (shrimp dumpling) - price is reasonable ok (RM5 including the sui kows) and overall taste was quite nice with just a little bit oily... :-)

Sarawak hand noodles
Fish ball meehoon soup with bitter gourd - quite nice, somehow the combination is quite refreshing and good.

Koay teow meehoon soup - it tasted a bit like clear prawn noodles soup based somehow. Later I found out the stall also selling prawn noodles (hokkien mee)

Here comes the soup. Besides soup, this stall also sells steams rices.

Steamed old cucumber soup - good!
Steamed water crest soup - good!
fried rice with an egg. There is a fried rice and noodles stall just beside the sarawak hand noodles stall.

Fish head meehoon soup
