My next stop at downtown ipoh, I had the opportunity to try out their famous ipoh nga choi gei at a restaurant name called LOU WONG BEAN SPROUTS (NGA CHOI GEI) IPOH.
Lou Wong Nga Choi Gei has another strong competitor just right beside them called Ong Gei Tauge Ayam Ipoh, selling basically the same thing and both have their crowds, but for personal preference i do vote for a good first try out at Lou Wong instead.
So what does it deffer from our usual chicken rice with tauge? And how it won many hearts of the locals as well as internationally.
The half boiled poarched chicken
The first main startlet is the half boiled poarched chicken is boiled to perfection remaining is freshness and juicyness of the chicken, it is tender smooth compared to others, guess is the skilled or secret recipe to cook the chicken that is important and combined with the aroma of hot fragrant soya sauce to go with and sprinkles of spring onions, celery with a dash of red chilies before serving to your table.
Crunchy bean sprouts also known as "Nga Choi"
The second startlet is ofcourse the bean sprouts to go with the chicken. The bean sprouts are grown originally in ipoh and is larger in size compared to the rest. The locals say is due to good waterhills to grow the beansprouts that distinct with the rests and combined together with the skilled chef to have a tasty plate of bean sprouts.
This is another signature dish of Lou Wong translated in chinese is called
" Glass chicken leg".
The name is unique itself as the process of making this dish is firstly remove the bones of the chicken leg, leaving only skin and combined with tantalizing sweet sour sauce and dash of peanuts. The skin is transparent in colour taste abit of a Thai dish and opens up everyone appetites.
The stall is hanging full of ready poached chickens to serve daily customers needs. The level of hygiene is moderate, so eat at your own risks. heee.... there is always a saying dirty restaurants serves delicious foods. Is it true? Oopss...
