Walking from Wanchai to an appointment in Causeway Bay and looking for a place to lunch on the way. Came across this eatery and decided to go in to try since there was an available table. From the choice of available lunch sets, I ordered the Ipoh Hor Fun Soup with Shredded Chicken and Prawns (怡保鸡丝鲜虾汤河粉), with a cup of Teh Tarik (Malaysian "pulled" milk tea 马来西亚拉茶). My friend who subsequently came to join me ordered the Malaysian Curry Chicken Rice (马来西亚咖哩鸡饭) and a cup of Ipoh White Coffee (怡保白咖
From the choice of available lunch sets, I ordered the Ipoh Hor Fun Soup with Shredded Chicken and Prawns (怡保鸡丝鲜虾汤河粉), with a cup of Teh Tarik (Malaysian "pulled" milk tea 马来西亚拉茶). My friend who subsequently came to join me ordered the Malaysian Curry Chicken Rice (马来西亚咖哩鸡饭) and a cup of Ipoh White Coffee (怡保白咖啡).
The Ipoh Hor Fun came piping hot and looked quite delicious, but was a little disappointing taste wise.
The soup did not have the sweet taste of prawn that one would have expected from its color. There was a thick layer of oil floating atop the soup that I was ultimately forced to skim - there turned out to be almost half a rice bowl of oil in the soup.
Digging from the bottom of the bowl of hor fun, there were grey-colored prawn shells with heads and legs that appeared to have been put in to flavor the soup. These should have been removed before serving, as they made the noodle look unappetizing and tended to get caught between the strips of hor fun which then forced one to spit as they could not be swallowed. Although I am not a big fan of hor fun, the noodle in this dish was smooth and had a little bite (not overly soft), which I did like. The shredded chicken was tender, unlike those found at some other eateries that taste like meat that has been used to brew the soup base. The prawns that were used however, were totally tasteless. My friend had much better luck with the Malaysian Chicken Curry. The flavor of the curry is quite authentic, although we found it a little salty and would also prefer a little less coconut milk, so that we would not feel surfeit after. Thankfully, paired with rice, the saltiness was bearable. There were 3 big pieces of chicken with potato in the serving of curry - quite a generous portion. The chicken was tender and appeared to have been simmered in the curry, as it had absorbed the curry flavor.
I tried both beverages and will pass on the teh taik next time. The tea had an astringent aftertaste, in spite of the milk.
I liked the white coffee as the aroma was strong and there was no sour aftertaste. Be forewarned though that it can be a little sweet, so a request for a reduced-sweetened version may be necessary for some.
I intend to return to the eatery to try other dishes such as bak kut teh (肉骨茶). The table next to ours ordered it and the aroma was delectable. The Hainanese chicken rice (马来西亚海南鸡饭) also looked like it was worth a try.
