Our group has selected Tuck Kee Restaurant as our blog writing in recommending food to the customers. For Utar students studying in Kampar who have own transport especially car who wanted to go further for dinner, for instance in Ipoh, we are here to provide an option which we think it might be helpful to make decision.
We choose Tuck Kee Restaurant at Ipoh because it is well-known for its noodles. Tuck Kee Restaurant has been operating for more than 50 years and it provides a wide variety of noodles. The signature dish is the hokkien “Dai Loke Mian” which means big fat noodles have a springy texture making it irresistible for noodles lovers. As our group members are all noodles fan, Tuck Kee restaurant is a must-go place.
Tuck Kee Restaurant is located at Ipoh which is in
nostalgia busy street of the "mountain town". Tuck Kee restaurant is
situated at the golden triangle which houses the overrated Onn Kee and Lou Wong
Beansprout & Chicken Restaurant.
Tuck Kee restaurant is established since 1963. It is located at Ipoh which is in nostalgia busy street of the "mountain town". Tuck Kee restaurant is situated at the golden triangle which houses the overrated Onn Kee and Lou Wong Beansprout & Chicken. It is a non-halal restaurant and the operating hour is 5 p.m onwards until late night.
For your information, there is another shop next door named Sun Tuck Kee.
The sources stated that Sun Tuck Kee is handled by the 'father' while the son inherited this former lot which has gastronomic history of few decades.
We choose Tuck Kee instead of Sun Tuck Kee, it is because Tuck Kee is famous than Sun Tuck Kee.
Besides that, Tuck Kee is operated 53 years since 1963.
This restaurant could cater to around 10 tables only but there are definitely more tables outside the restaurant which is at the roadside. Since this restaurant is not really big, you should come before 7 pm to have dinner or secure a seat because it is many customers and you might can't get a seat. You should come slightly earlier if it is weekends.
Tuck Kee restaurant can be a dinner place or supper place for us, it is a not air-conditioned restaurant.
You can't even find a single grain of rice in this restaurant because it served very delectable fried noodles in town.
Now I would like to introduce the highly recommended noodles in this restaurant.
First of all, the must try noodles in this restaurant are War Tan Hor Fun, Yu Kong Hor, Hokkien Fried Mee Hon, Hokkien Fried Dai Loke Mian and so on. The attached menu is as below:
We need to mark our food in a order form given by the restaurant to order our food, so we can consider what to eat rather than the staff standing there waiting for us to decide what to eat.
We ordered the recommended food in the menu, it took around half an hour to get our food served.
While waiting for our food to be served, we also ordered the appetizer food which is baby octopus in soy sauce which drizzled with fried garlic oil, spring onion, and some crispy fried garlic bits accompanied with their in-house special chili sauce.
In Ipoh, we called this as "War Tan Hor" which is eggy smooth rice noodles. You seldom get the good "War Tan Hor" in Kuala Lumpur because their Hor Fun is not as good as those in Ipoh. The noodles are fried separately before adding in the eggy soup that filled with vegetables, prawns, and meat.
The Yu Kong Hor (Moonlight Flat Noodles) were fried and a raw egg cracked onto the fried kuey teow. Upon showing a whole egg is cracked on top, thus giving the dish its name. The raw egg yolk looks like the reflection of the moon on a pool of water (egg white). The fried kuey teow should be piping hot and once you mix up with the whole dish, the raw egg will be cooked from the "heat" of the noodles. Later you just need to stir the egg and start eating like the video shown below.
The Hokkien Fried MeeHun with meat, vegetables and prawns. It is very similar to what we called Singapore Fried MeeHun. But as you can see, the Hokien Fried MeeHun is not very dry and the meehun is a little thicker.
The Hokkien Dai Look Mian deserves a personal mention which is love at first sight. The "hokkien udon" is braised to a right texture and in slight greasy dark soya sauce gravy. The flavour from the sauce is absorbed by the "Dai Look Mian".
An average of 5 noodles and one baby octopus would cost around RM 46, one serving of noodles is RM 6 exclusive Goods and Services Tax. Since the price is quite reasonable, so you wont resist the reasonably priced side dishes in this restaurant.
The video below is the feedback of this restaurant from one of our group members and also the existing customer from Tuck Kee restaurant.
We get some feedback from Tuck Kee's customers:
"The noodles are very
delicious and I will definitely try again" - Madam Kwan
"The price is very
reasonable and the food is very attractive especially the Yu Kong Hor." - Mr. Tan
In a conclusion, we think that the food from Tuck Kee can satisfied everything your taste buds desire. We then highly recommend the restaurant to those who visit our blog.
The food wont disappoint you and the price of the food is reasonable.
Overall Rating:
Food: 4/5
Price: 4/5
