Ong Kee Tauge Chicken, Ipoh

This is a throwback post back to Day1 of my Penang/Ipoh trip.
My colleagues who are foodies were so enthusiastic to have breakfast in Ipoh. We departed KL around 8am and reached Ipoh by 10.
First stop is the Ipoh stadium to get our first meal of the day. We had some fried kuey teow (i didn't snap pic) but it was good.
then stopped by the famous makan spot....
and had our mid-morning dessert - taufufa at Lai Kee Soy shop (which eventually we had it again when we head back to KL). 
I had the ginger syrup one during the first time visit. The taufufa was served warm.
later, burn off some calories by walking/loitering around the Concubine Lane.
Nothing much to see since it was still early, and it was a weekday.
by noon, we had beansprout chicken at Ong Kee, which is situated nearby/opposite the famous Lou Wong.
Ordered some chicken gizzards, a plate of beansprout and half chicken to share by four of us.
we also had kuey teow in soup...
somehow the chicken does not taste as good as last time. 
nevertheless the beansprout was crunchy and succulent, nice to eat with the kuey teow.

I also like taufufa in ginger syrup. I am only interested in the crunchy beansprout.

I like the taufufa better than the steamed chicken. So yummy! A lot of people at the Lou Wong? Is that why u all didn't eat steamed chicken at Lou Wong?

Funny that today I read so many posts on chicken rice. I see that you guys ordered the poached chicken which is always my choice.

Ah, Ipoh (and this place) is always famous for their poached chicken and bean sprouts. First time seeing cucumber served on top of the chicken though...lol.

St Michael, Barbados

During the weekdays, the driver would picked us (me & colleague) from the apartment at 8am daily. Sometimes he would use different route...
