First Trip in 2014 - Ipoh

So sorry that my blog has been dead for weeks as I was busy for my finals and I did not encounter any interesting things to blog about during my first week of sem break, and yesterday was my first trip in 2014 with my love one! We visited Ipoh since my college mates were there as well and I was really excited about it because this is the first time bf drove us across the Penang bridge :D
Managed to capture the sunrise :)

Camwhored with boyfie xx

These two are my favs cause bf looks so cool haha 

We actually planned to depart at 6:30am but a sleepyhead failed to wake up on time so we departed at 7:30am hmph. Fortunately, we managed to have dimsum with friends (altho we were a little bit late) and thanks to one of my friend's dad for his treat!

This dimsum restaurant is located opposite the famous Foh San dimsum and we decided to give it a first try since some people say that this is nicer than Foh San. Personally, I think Foh San serve more variety of yummy dimsum in a more presentable way and in a better environment. I think I'll go back to Foh San during the next visit.

After breakfast, we visited Thean Chun Restaurant for its famous egg custard with caramel!

The whole thing tasted like pudding and I love its smoothness and sweetness, and it was served cold! But bf disliked it at first, says it tasted like antibiotic lol but he sort of like it after several bites.

With my tour guide of the day, Kelxy! Candid shot of us on the right.
(so far this is the nicest candid shot I got lol)

Then the three of us (bf, me and Kelxy) went separate ways with other college mates as they wanted to visit a temple for... certain purposes lol, and so we visited the (another) famous cafe in Ipoh, Burps and Giggles.
I'll create another blog post for it cause I have many pictures and some (negative) comments to share with!

The unsatisfying choco mellow (hot chocolate + marshmallow)

Next, all of us reunited at the (again another) famous Dai Shu Geok in Pasir Pinji for its yong tau fu.
 It was quite disappointing and normal for me, I'd prefer Penang's yong tau fu, less choices here not sure if the business is really good or it already passed lunch hour. Bf dislikes the noodle as he can taste a lot of flavouring and seasoning in it.

After two disappointing ones I can finally taste something that is so plain yet so yummy! Presenting you the (N times) famous tau fu fa from Funny Mountain. It is definitely a must try whenever you visit Ipoh, I'm not a fan of tau fu fa until I tried this! Unlike Penang that uses brown and white sugar syrup, here they use vanilla syrup which is not too sweet and smells really nice, also it is much much smoother and softer than the others!
Took this picture after several spoons of it as I forgot to let my phone eat first.

After one bowl of tau fu fa we headed to Raja Uda to try out Ju Heng tomyam.
It disappoints me as well cause it is not spicy like at all, shall try out heng heng tomyam next time.
In overall all of the main course are disappointing and the desserts are really good! Hope I'm able to visit Ipoh again for its delicious tau fu fa! (BF see this hee)
