We went back to Pomelosville yesterday for Qing Ming festival which is also known as All Souls’ Day or the Tombs Sweeping Festival. It is a day trip for us to go back and pay our respects to hubs’ grandfather, father and sister. First stop was Sam Poh Tong Temple.
Ashley posing at the entrance of the Sam Poh Tong temple. It was packed with people because it’s the last weekend for everyone to pay their respects. The whole place was filled with thick smoke due to the burning of joss sticks.
Right after Sam Poh Tong temple, we head over to the “Tai Shue Keok” aka Big Tree Foot in Pasir Pinji which is famous for its Yong Tau Foo. I have blogged about this before.
I don’t like to eat there because of the hygiene factor (hubs always roll his eyes when I say that), so I just went down to buy some of our favourites – Sar Kok Liew (deep fried stuffed turnip) and stuffed fish paste with long beans. Hubs wanted to have lunch at the popular Mee Kari Ipoh Garden along Jalan Pasir Puteh but sadly, it was closed yesterday. Then when he turned to look at Chuan Fatt which is across the road, he decided to eat there because it wasn’t packed. Chuan Fatt is also another good place for curries in Ipoh. Hubs grew up eating there a lot as he used to stay nearby.
This is how the shop looks like. It is on Jalan Pasir Puteh, just before the market. Got this photo from gpsfoodfinder.blogspot.com. What’s so special about the curries here? Their sinfully delicious curry noodles (wet or dry) come with fried chicken, roasted pork or char siew.

We always order the dry curry version. Yummylicious!
Ashley is having her ‘kon loh’ noodles with the sar kok liew we bought earlier.
We went back to KL after lunch. It was a short but good trip as we got to eat our favourite food. Brings back lots of memories 🙂 The address of Kedai Makanan Chuan Fatt is 294, Jalan Pasir Puteh, 31650 Ipoh, Perak.
Wah! Just look at the fried chicken and fried pork!! My saliva is dripping now…. Ipoh got a lot of delicious food, eh?
I spotted Ashley’s outfit from top to shoes, all are well matched. The credit is Mummy’s good taste.

If you have more time, you can come Taiping and visit us (Yan, Yvonne and myself) already ^^

Big Tree Foot @ Pasir Pinji … i wonder if it is the same one that my mother brought us to for breakfast on the eve of CNY this year.
It was very yummy indeed and I didn’t have any trouble with my tum tum aftwd. (big germ eats small germ) 😀
