This is how it looks like on a busy night in new town Ipoh when it coincides with a long festive holiday. Almost all the eating places back at my hometown is crowded with people. There are two Tuck Kee noodle shops on the same street but this time I chose to try the Sun Tuck Kee as I've tried the Tuck Kee outlet many times (past review here).
The shop is really small and most of us prefer to sit outside because it's less stuffy and it's not too warm in the evening. Be prepared if you really want to eat here. It's crowded, meaning longer waiting time. It's a small old eating shop, meaning horrendous service. It's popular, meaning signature dishes ran out pretty fast.
And so I was disappointed that I do not get to satisfy my craving on some awesome braised chicken feet. The only place where I will slurp and chew on those dainty chicken feet is here! If given a portion of it, I can even lick the plate clean!

See this guy here? Does he look like one of those mafia members? I wonder what is he doing at a coffee shop? Undercover? Lol... Anyways, he serves drinks and when you asked him for another glass of herbal tea, it's as if you're talking to air. He doesn't give a damn one!
One of the must order dish here is the baby octopus served with fried garlic and soya sauce. The octopus is blanched and then poured over with hot oil and soya sauce. It's really a delicious tasting dish. The octopus remains springy and succulent while the sauce provides the saltiness to the otherwise bland tasting octopus. We ordered a 2nd serving but it never come.
You've never been to Ipoh if you have not tried the famous Ipoh beansprouts that is fat and juicy. It's like an obese version of those waif thin beansprouts that you find in your noodles in the city elsewhere. I liked it plain with just some hot oil, soya sauce and spring onions. We finished the whole plate in less than a minute. That's how good Ipoh beansprouts are!
The meatballs are something I have not ordered before. The meatballs are made of pork and the appearance might not look appetising but I assure you that this is one of those meatballs that made you wanting one after another. It's very springy and at the same time you can also taste the porky flavours. This is the one with a good texture.
The "Wa Tan Hor" or popularly known as "Cantonese fried noodles" is a flat rice noodle served in a starchy and eggy sauce. One reason why this dish tasted better in Ipoh is because the rice noodles here are really good and smooth. However, we found that the dish that night didn't have that special taste that we're looking for. Something was lacking. It wasn't as flavourful as we expected.

The fried mihun was not bad as we love the moist fried noodles without sacrificing the texture of the mihun. The mihun is not too soft and it absorbs the flavours of the sauce very well.
And lastly, we had a bowl of "fish noodles" with the starchy and eggy soup. The noodles, which looked like Udon are actually made from fish meat and it's pretty tasty. It went very well with the cabbage and pork slices that were served together with the fish.
Dinner here isn't too expensive. For the 9 of us, the total bill came up to about RM80. The rule of thumb to eating here is to come early - as early at 6-7 pm!
