太平最正美食 Best Taiping Foodie Haunts

Dear friends
After featuring the so called mining towns like Ipoh, Kampar and Seremban, certainly I can’t missed out on Taiping. Generally the viewership for these episodes were quite encouraging, let’s hope the trend continues. I hope you’ll find this Taiping episode compelling as much as I worked on it. Meanwhile please go out and support the local street food, be it at Taiping or otherwise. Thank you and hope to see you in the next.

larut matang 我只吃萝卜糕和鱼蛋炒粉，其他的都是麻麻地。。。 还有很多隐藏的地方， 还有就是很多老字号没做了，永远都吃不到了

[@cheemengchoong]

A great episode featuring Taiping's food stalls and also a summary of it's historical events and places of interest. I enjoyed and had a good laugh when featuring/illustrating the dessert stall at one of the Larut Matang hawker stalls where you "joked" that probably the Uncle was only able to make 5 types of kuih ( instead of the usual 12 varieties) as he may not have enough of sleep on that particular day. Adding in - (in your comment) after operating the kuih business for 50 years or so - you can't blame him for oversleeping !!! I burst into great laughter- good one Elmo. Again- thank you for making a good and memorable video in Taiping.

[@serphsheffield2228]

When I saw your videos on Teluk Intan and Kampar, I thought you were doing a food crawl in Perak, going norther each week, thought it was gonna be Pantai Remis / Sitiawan / Pangkor next. Very pleasantly surprised when you featured Taiping, I have relatives there and I showed this video to them, they very much enjoyed it. 1:40, the aerial view made them remark on how the town has changed since the 80s, paused at that moment for 5 minutes just to have fun identifying all the new landmarks and getting our bearings. 9:36, this one had my relatives lamenting, apparently it was twice the size for half the price back in the good'ol days 15:49, the best popiah according to my relative in Penang, he'd travel to this stall just to eat it when he fancied

Hi Elmo. Good video. Taiping is also well known for their heong piah in Perak.

Thanks I didn't know that I thought the best comes from gunung rapat

[@romliahmadabdulnadzir1607]

在太平停留更长时间，在甘文丁、瓜拉江沙、新邦等郊区提供有竞争力的住宿和寄宿家庭，延伸到麦克斯韦山，寻找隐藏的天堂美食家、茶和咖啡以及寺庙等。太平是一个成长中的城市可以找到它的地方昔日的辉煌，以及“文物建筑与湖滨园林”，是西方人与园林的典范。

[@jfj7452]

🌷 Memories of the historically rich town of Taiping (1st capital of Perak) keep flooding back. Undeniably, my History books din specifically mention the glorious fact that Malaya proudly became the RICHEST country in SEA; ALL BECOZ of the hard work & dedication of the Chinese miners & rubber tappers. The Chinese INDEED made a HUGE impact on Malaya's economy. Heart-rendingly, this startling effort isn't reflected in MSIAN history & instead came the shameful term of 'pendatang'. How sad ... So besides savouring the good food, I guess a visit to Chang Chun Pu Villa sounds interesting ... in memory of Father Sun Yat Sen. Taiping Keeps Good Food & History Alive.

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks for ur approval dear

[@inderaputra2846]

We are not pendatang, we were invited by the government of those days which was under the British Ruled and we help greatly in bringing up the Tin Mining Business, farming, chinese medicine, concept of societies and clubs of the same surname and district in China, and most of all school system, best chinese food stalls, small industries and etc. We are never the Pendatang.

Some of the food were just average (according to our taste), we are very thankful for your suggestions as you have provided us addresses to try out new stalls (we are from Melbourne). We have been watching and following your reviews for a long time and we really like your introductions and commentaries. Thank you, Elmo. 👌

we went to the food center in Taiping on May 19th, Thursday at about 10 am......... alas , many stores in this video was either closed or sold out . we did not ask other stalls why that was the case. the CKT of stall 83 was very good...... suggest you could add the operating hours of the places you visited in your video. tks.

Yr friend sure do know his best eatery shops around Taiping. As far as 18th mile Sipitanf was concerned , the curry noddle soup was made with prawns shells. This curry Mee type exist no where else in Taiping ! Since restaurant kakak has retired, , another alternative had sprouted up namely the Golden Corner, along it's gold Smith lane . Regrettably, you d missed out the best "Lai Fun " stall in tajping. It goes extremely well with their simple chilly sauce. No Lai Fun bowl can do without 3 spoonfull of chilly sauce . While at pokok Adam, you must never. Miss out on the Assam. Noddle soup. Lastly you had the name wrong . No where else can you find fried noddles , it's called fried Hoo Hee, it was fried kui teow with soup. Non of which can be experience in KL. It is an exclusive dish only found in Taiping, not even in Penang !. Yes giving you a thumbs up here cos you did a spot on take of Taiping food ! Wonderful take . Their coffee still is the cheapest in Msia.

I still think My fav wan tan mee I tried was from a stall in Rasah Jaya, Seremban ( I was 12 yrs old then)what but is even more you can't get those food in Malaysia right now is they had a chettiar mess behind Puncha Emas (that's what it was called then, now not sure) which was the best Tamil Chettinad food I ever tried and even better than many places I tried in Tamil Naadu state itself. It's sad that so much Malay, Chinese and Indian good food are no more

[@malaysiafood328]

Sorry rajesh I think is a matterof cutting corners

[@RajeshRavindranathan]

@@malaysiafood328 i really think it's more than that. For eg:- I know many good chinese stalls that their own children wont want to continue with so no matter what corners you cut wont change that fundemental issue, I mean Malaysia still ok but look at the good food that we going to lose from Singapore because there is no substitute....more of a capitalism problem :) we need some better gov.

[@RajeshRavindranathan]

Ok I was wrong about the Malay food (no racism here) but the variety now is better...again the positive/negative that reflects on our gov policies but then again why if not racism? that's just my 2 bit. Don't get me wrong, I love Malay food too.

建议作者提到全马很多第一都在太平时，请参考一下，什么是FMS（Federal Malay State) 第一，什么是MP(Malay Peninsular) 。 过去也有看过一些文章，提到马来西亚的第一个警察部队在太平成立。我叫那作者参考一下，槟城乔治市的英国人，什么时候成立警察部队。还有太平是全马最早的城市，那就要参考一下，槟城乔治市，成立的年份。我对马来西亚历史研究不深，请多多指教。

[@nilsongtan4522]

不是第一警察部队，是警察局，太平市，没槟城早成立是因为太平内乱，内乱结束了才成立，而太平是清朝末代时就存在了，官方承认的第一只有30个，后来又加了几个未证实的，现在网络查到的是33个，一些白目人篡改的
