Buntong Noodles In IPOH

Many Ipohians I know of, have not heard of Buntong noodles in town, near the Yau Tet Shin Street. Even for some who know about it, they did not talk much about this shop. As for me, I love the dry noodles, maybe it is because of the lard they put in it that makes it tastier. Other than that, the fried varieties of the fish paste are also nice, so is their beef stew soup as well.

Nowadays we do not have to take numbers anymore when we visit this shop... yes, u heard me right... take numbers! During the past years, one Apek would be at the counter giving out numbers to patrons....and one man with a microphone will call out numbers... lol.. something like visiting a clinic.... but now? No more, I guess business have dwindled.... Anyway, this shop is still worth visiting to... once awhile....

  7. I went to their Buntong stall when they still operated from home. That was 13 years ago when I was still studying in MHS.

    Really good stuff
