Ipoh

Ipoh is a foodie’s paradise and there’s never short of a good food place. East Ocean is one of the more popular Cantonese restaurants in the city and serves a wide array of Cantonese dishes. Without a menu, it’s hard to know what they exactly serve and probably you need to be an expert to know what’s good there.

We pre-ordered the suckling pig (RM 210) which is a third of what one would normally pay in Singapore. The nicely roasted pig had crispy, glistening skin with a good layer of fat which is of course the main attraction. The meat was nicely seasoned, tender and not too dry. What I’ve noticed is that in Malaysia, steamed mantou is served alongside this dish.

This was certainly the highlight of our meal here and worth our calories. But the rest of the items (not pictured) were just decent.
