Xmas Eve Dinner

This is so long overdued...

Well, my uncle, aunt, Dan Qin & Yu-Yang were back in Ipoh for Xmas. We went for Ming Court Dim Sum in the morning. Sorry, no pictures for that, were too busy eating. :p

In the noon, Dan Qin and me and Shin Jie went to Kinta City to do some shopping. I think investor should seriously consider of opening a new shopping complex in Ipoh. Kinta City are so packed + crowded during holidays/festive seasons. Spent a long time in finding a parking space ah...
I brought a fleece jacket from Samuel & Kevin, kinda cheap after the 60% discount. It's a reversible jacket, one side is Maroon colour where the other side is army pattern, Eric commented it's not nice though...

So, let's get into the gist of this entry. We went Tanjung Tualang for dinner. This place is famous for its seafood or shall I say riverfood??? If u visit this place, the river prawn is a must-try, and also the fresh river fish like Nam Kor, it's cheaper here than other restaurants.

I shall let the dishes we ordered that night to tempt u people... Haha...

First, is the Steam River Prawns. This dish remain the original freshness + sweetness of the prawns. The dash of Chinese Wine help to bring out the taste of prawns even better. Yummy!

Secondly, Steam Bak Shu Kong, a kind of river fish, I think it's one of the cat fish family, but not so sure. I like this fish lots. It's fresh plus the sauce used is just nice, not too salty. Steam fish is actually a very hard dishes to prepare, not many restaurants can steam a fish nicely.


Thirdly, is the Fried River Prawns, my all time favourite. I was too excited to see this dish and cant wait to eat it, only realising half way thru that I forgot to take a photo of this. And one more tips for u guys, order a bowl of white rice to add into the sauce after u finish the prawns, it's heavenly delicious. Just forget about your cholestrol level and blood pressure for one moment. :P

Then, it's the chef recommended Taufu. It's more towards Thai style, with sweet & spicy sauce topping the fried cube taufu with some salad. Very appetising too.

I was too happy eating and forgotten to take photo of a few other dishes that we ordered. :D Other dishes that we ordered are Green Vege, Sweet & Sour Crab, and the famous fried rice. The crab is definitely recommended, we even brought over our own bread to dip the sauce, k? Erm...the fried rice used to be very nice and it's a must ordered for every table, but dont know what went wrong that night, it's overcooked, one of the dissapointment la...

The bill came up to be RM250++, I forgotten the exact price, so I would say the pricing is very reasonable for a meal like this, dont think can find any other restaurant that offer this price in KL/PJ. We had 3 kg of river prawns, crab and fish le... I dare not say it's cheap la, but definetely not expensive.

The restaurant is Lian Fong Restaurant in Tanjung Tualang. About 30 mins drive from Ipoh, worth going for the quality of the food.
