 Every time we pass by Ipoh, my Significant Other (SO) will remind me about Bean Sprouts Chicken or locally called in Cantonese as 'Nga Chor Kai'. It is a famous and sumptuous dish in Ipoh. Some folks even claimed it is the number one food in Ipoh. My SO is the big fan of bean sprouts dish. Yes, bean sprouts or what we called 'taugeh' in Penang is commonly found everywhere in Malaysia but I have to agree with my SO that the bean sprout in Ipoh is so much tastier.

 If you are a big fan of 'Bak Chang' (Rice Dumplings) and 'Or Kuih' (Yam Cake), Cintra Food Corner is definitely a perfect place for you.
