Shan Cheng - Enjoy authentic Ipoh delicacies at cheap prices
I whatsapped my buddy for lunch and she suggested eating at Compass One. It was around 3pm when we finally met. From morning till noon, I have been looking forward to my imagined feast at some new fancy place, sipping my coffee and ending my meal with a beautiful cake. I was hungry by the time we met.

Authentic Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun |
There was a pleasant surprise because of a promotional set - for S$18 nett, you can get two mains, one side and two hot drinks. I ordered the Ipoh Hor Fun. The soup was really hard to describe. When I first drank it, it tasted of prawns and gradually, some hint of chicken. Overall, it was a nice broth. The prawns were fresh in a way - when you submerged prawns in salty water and their flesh turns firm. The chicken was tasteless which was a plus point for me because I disliked MSG ladened food. It tasted like how chicken should taste. The hor fun was very soft.

Ipoh Golden Platter |
The main draw for me in returning to Shan Cheng with my buddy a few times was the combination of eating extremely crispy beancurd skin with hor fun. We also got to enjoy very fragrant and strong traditional Kopi and Teh.
I am pretty sure we can find better tasting Ipoh Hor Fun elsewhere in hawker centres but Shan Chen provides a cheap alternative for friends to catch up over traditional food comfortably.
