Still The Best - The Seafood@Tg Tualang


It was an easy day. Nothing urgent. The kids were free so we (the family) decided to have lunch together. Tok Alang was thrown out and we all agreed. On a working day a 3 hour lunch is ok.

Haven't been here to Tg Tualang for over 3 years. First it was because of the Pandemic and then i didn't have the  crowd. You do need the numbers to order to enjoy what they have to offer. But the food is still superbly excellent thankfully and the taste is gastronomically great.
 
Sweet sour crab ... literally finger licking goodness gravy and all ... 

Steam prawn each has a different flavour from ....

...deep fried prawns..and dipped in chilly sauce ...absolutely delectable

the smooth fleshy Lam Khor Yee ..... worth every penny


Tg Tualang ....undoubtedly still the best value in the state of Perak.

"Summons of RM1K If Grease Trap Not Functioning".... Zone 13/ IGS/ Clr Lee Tze Hoo

Clr Lee having a meeting with food outlet owners last week. Pix sent by Clr Lee.

 “A summons of Rm1000 can be issued once we find the grease trap not functioning” said Councillor Lee Zee Hoo / Zone13 to the owners all food outlets in Ipoh Garden South last Tuesday 15 August 2023.  

Clr Lee was referring to a Fb post by Gough Leong on 4 August of a ‘A heavily clogged drain right in IGS (Ipoh Garden South)  ...in front of "Uncle Long' and 'Born To Bread'. … it looks "Mouldy Green???"...and its stinks to high heaven...I think IGS drains  .... has been neglected for too long a time/ over 5 years  .. I wish that MBI clear the goop  immediately ….absolute disgrace

Fb reader Amirul  sent Clr Lee contact. (r) Aug 4, Pix of the Mouldy Green Filthy Drain

On 11 Aug…Another FB person suggested to contact the councillor of Zone 13 Lee Tze Hoo. When contacted Clr Lee said he was ‘monitoring and was also working with Jabatan Kesihatan to have a briefing with all the Food and beverage outlets from IGS”

On 17 Aug a resident of IGS sent photos of MBI personel at IGS premises inspecting the drains. The resident also informed that 2 MBI health inspectors were present. When approached ‘inspectors said that they would summon immediately in future’.

Aug 17. resident of IGS sent pics of MBI checking the drain 

This was confirmed later when Clr Lee was contacted.

Hopefully MBI will clean the drain and monitor and maintain the cleanliness of IGS going forward….forever

Tonkatsu Kiso ....Quaint Japanese Diner In A Quaint Part Of Ipoh Town

Small plates served meat, sashimi and salads with soup and rice .

I didn’t know about this new place in Ipoh .. Tonkatsu Kiso or Ton which means pork tenderloin, Katsu or cutlet and Kiso meaning kiss which putting it together says PorkCutlets with a Kiss.

.

Of course a young resident suggested this place or I would never have found it. It is the equivalent of a pub (I googled it) or izakaya restaraunt (is a type of informal Japanese bar that serves alcoholic drinks and snacks. Izakaya are casual places for after-work) ... that served small plates of very delicious meal served with rice and their soup.

In our case we had tonkatsu, a sashimi plate (salmon, tuna and scallop ++ with a generous portion of wasabi) with salads. In short it was light, refreshing and very delectable with all the wasabi, mustard, soy sauces…something different.

It was situated in a wonderful part of town, Jalan Lau Ek Ching, that had lovely town houses in the day.
