If you follow the 8TV Ho Chak food program, you must have heard of Sin Eng Heong 新荣香 Fluffy Kaya Puff 加央角.


Sin Eng Heong Biscuit is one of the most famous Chinese biscuit shop located in Ipoh town.


During our previous road trip to Ipoh, we dropped by this shop to pack the puffs back to our hometown.


On long weekends and holidays, where most food hunters will make a trip to Ipoh, the Kaya Puffs may run out fast, so it is recommended to make reservation earlier. Last weekend, we are limited to buy only 2 boxes of Kaya Puffs per person due to the long queue of customers.


From far, you can smell the aromatic flavor of the biscuits. Most of those biscuit would be sold out fast even before the seller have the time to pack them.


It is served hot, flaky and crispy with a nice aromatic small. Even after several hours, the crispiness is still there.

Char Siu fan 叉烧饭 or known as the Chinese barbecued meat rice can be found at Chulia Street in Penang.

If you have heard of the famous Malacca Char Siu fan that is only available during midnight, this stall Wai Kee located at the ground floor of Sky Hotel on Chulia Street has the comparable tasty and crispy baked Char Siu, exactly like the ones in Malacca.


My personal choice is ordering in an individual plate because I like the gravy that comes together with the char siu and rice, but some other friends prefer individual servings of the char siu and other choice of meat.

After 30 minutes of waiting, our lunch is served. To avoid disappointment, do drop by earlier because the char siu is always selling fast.



Besides Char Siu, they also have other assorted roast meat such as Siu Yok 烧肉, Siu Cheong 腊肠 and also steamed chicken or roast duck meat.

To balance up the meal, Wai Kee also serve a type of vegetable, which is the Yau Choy Sum 油菜心. I had this vegetable many times and it always tasted fresh.



Total lunch spent, RM 41.60 for 7 persons. The price would be around RM 5 to RM 10, depending on the dishes ordered.
