Everytime I go home to Ipoh, it’s like a walk down memory lane. Everything looks familiar, yet foreign. I feel like I have “come home”, yet in many ways I cannot help but admit I am experiencing this little town again as a tourist. I no longer recognise the roads. I could not give directions to landmarks, because I no longer know how to get places.
Kong Hing and the Hall of Mirrors are both coffee shops that are somewhat Ipoh establishments. I may not be able to navigate my way to many places in Ipoh, but, I can always find my way to the Hall of Mirrors (the shop’s walls are plastered with HUGE mirrors).
When I was growing up, our family will eat here at least once a week. Most of the little stalls
here have been around as long as I could remember. The rice noodles (chee cheong fun) are better from Kong Hing next door (yes, you can eat food from both shops), as is the Kai See Hor Fun (shredded chicken noodles). No
where else in the WORLD can Kai See Hor Fun be like Kai See Hor Fun in Ipoh. *drool*The Rojak is also excellent. The sauce is like liquid gold. I wish I had the recipe!
