Ipoh Garden Restaurant

This hot summer afternoon, the boyfriend and I made an impromtu lunch visit to the Ipoh Garden restaurant on Canning Highway.

Usually we would order a Ipoh Ho fun each, and a serve of their very popular (and yummy) chicken pieces, but we felt different this time, and went for something 'new'..

I chose the Hainanese Chicken Rice. The

rice and sauce was alright, tasted just as what I expected, but the chicken was too dry. I guess it was probably because I was given the chicken breast, which tends to be dry. But Hey! That's the healthier part of the chicken so I shouldn't be complaining right? Eaten on

its own, the chicken was still tasteless. Sigh.

Another down side was that the chicken did not come with cucumber! If you didn't know, when the cucumber soaks up the brown sauce that comes with the chicken, it actually tastes very nice!

The boyfriend tried their 'weekend special', Nasi Lemak. It also came with a

choice of either Beef Rendang, or chicken curry. He loves beef rendang, so chose that to go with the egg,

sambal, prawn, papadum and peanuts. No complaints about everything. So I suppose it's all great!

This is a place I would return to, as the prices are low ($9.9 for chicken rice, $10 for nasi lemak special, and $2.2 for a can drink), plus you get some service instead of the self-service you get a a food court! IF you do go there, do try their home made herbal tea as well. It comes in a big bottle, so do arrange to share it with a friend or two!
