Ipoh Collections

Famous white coffee and toast in old town! The kaya is a good match to the coffee! All these awesome stuff for under RM10.

Come and give it a try if you are in Ipoh.

I can’t help but smile at the name of this popular soya beancurd shop but the quality of their “tau fu fah” (that’s the Cantonese name for this local dessert) is not to be laughed at.
Fabulously soft, smooth and silky, it simply melts away in the mouth. I love the very light brown clear syrup it is doused in as it has a richer sweetness than the typical colourless kind.
What makes this place extra unique is you can drive up in a car, wind down the window to place your order, get the “tau fu fah” served to you and when you’ve slurped it up, have your empty bowl collected. All within the span of a minute. Which explains the long queue of cars usually found snaking around the block leading up to “Funny Mountain”.

Once you find a table and settle down, a man with a tray will suddenly appear and rapidly plonk down multiple plates of the same custard pudding on the table. You have to decide how many of them you want to keep to eat. He then collects the rest, pile the plates back onto the tray and whisks them away to the next table.
Great sales tactic. Not that it is needed because I would happily queue for these - they are very good with an eggy richness and slightly burnt caramel aroma.
