Central Coffeeshop In Cowan Street, IPOH

This afternoon after school, I took my girl to Central Coffeeshop, just opposite Fu San dim sum restaurant. This Central coffeeshop has been around for almost..... 30 years, ever since I was a kid and it is still there... wow... it can become a heritage landmark anytime...

My girl hasn't been to this shop before and we were browsing around thinking of what to order for our lunch. Then I saw this sign, chee cheong fun, Canning Garden....

For those who stay in Ipoh and u r in your 40s now, then u will know that this Canning Garden Chee Cheong Fun was once-upon-a-time very famous one...that time, this man was selling by the road side in canning garden , next to the football field.... Very popular among "dating couples" who would queued up to eat this for supper before they go home after their date :)


this is the infamous chee cheong fun of the 70s...




small plate like this cost RM2.50


this is pumpkin dessert...
