Our first stop when arriving in Ipoh, Perak is the Big Tree Stall 大树脚. There are 2 ‘shops’ next to each other, one is 大树头 & the other 大树脚. 大树脚 is the stall right at the corner of the street under a huge tree, hence the name. Places are quite limited and always packed hence most of the diners continue next door at 大树头. Looks a little cleaner with tiled flooring.
Here you can have a choice of ‘Yong Tau Foo’ means Stuffed Bean Curd / Stuffed Toufu. But generally choices have increased over the many years now ranging from Bean curd, to long beans, brinjals, chillies etc.
Damage: RM9.60
Taste wise was fresh, the bean was crunchy (+1), Hor Fun (flat noodle) was smooth and slippery (+1), Fried Fu Zhok was very 'Hiong' Love it overall.
Damage: RM3.00
Curry was slightly cold when arrived (-1), Taste of curry was strong and rich (+1), Hor Fun not as delicious as the Yong Tau Foo one.
Damage: RM3.00
Ordered Hot Kopi ‘O’ and Barley, both came with ice… (-1)
If the Yong Tau Foo is not your cup of tea, there are a few more stalls for your palate:
I’m not too sure what is their operating hours, but breakfast and lunch is generally very packed, parking space is limited as well. Do take note of this and choose a non-peak hour to come here for your meal.
