Taking my breath away is the seductive smokiness of the "dragon's breath" emanating from this piping hot plate of fried "rat's tail" noodles from this Ipoh-famous eatery run by a third generation son. Each slippery strand is eminently glossy with a salty, savoury sauce, and accompanied by pieces of tender pork, plump prawns and vegetables, which as a whole was so supremely tasty that I slurped it all down posthaste. The portion's a little small for the price though, and I left wanting more.

Taste: 3.5/5
