The Makan Doctor

If you have SIX hours to spend in Taiping, what would you do? Well, as a MAKAN DOCTOR, eating is my favorite past time. During the recent mid week holiday (Awal Muharram), I hopped into my car and drove all the way to Taiping. The first half of the day was spent bring my kids to Zoo Taiping; a very nice place to spend with the family. Tickets were priced at RM 17 for adults and RM 8.50 for children between 3 - 12 years old. It was time well spent. My kids can't stop talking about it and I have been a make believe tiger and elephant at home for the past few days.

I went to Aeon last weekend and stumbled on some nice looking freshly cut salmon. At RM 4.90 per 100 gram, it wasn't exactly cheap but teringin punya pasal, beli je la. A salmon dish in a restaurant or a hotel may set you back at least RM 20. I'll be making mine at a fraction of the cost. I present to you;

Have you guys read Orkid's Kitchen? It's a blog about a chef doctor (or is it Dr Chef?). He's a doctor and he makes great food at home! Maybe next year's Masterchef Malaysia will be a medical doctor.

After reading his blog, I took up a challenge to show my jantan-ness. If he can do it so can I! However, this guy knows his herbs and all, while I can't even differentiate between a serai and pandan. So, based on Orkid's Kitchen's Lemon Roasted Chicken, I tried out a version which is based on campur ikut belasah. I present to you:

2. Lemon - roughly 90 sen each

What do you do after getting high from eating NASI GANJA? You laugh it all out at FUNNY MOUNTAIN of course! You'll be laughing out loud once you see a rabbit pushing a wheel barrow full of soy beans too.



THE MAKAN PLACE

Funny Mountain is just a stone throw away from Kedai Kopi Yong Suan. Its not really a restaurant but more of a small shop by the roadside. Again, the saying of WISE MAN MOK applies here as well.

Psst....wanna get HIGH legally? (whisper tone).



I know where you can get se-pam. Lai lai come to Ipoh and I show you where to get your kick. I'll take you to a place called Kedai Nasi Ganja. Don't bother looking for a signboard to nasi ganja though. You have to find RUMAH TUMPANGAN dan Kedai Kopi Yong Suan first. Once you arrive here, you will be greeted by a long queue. As a wise man once said:

No line clear here!
