Food Hunt: Kedai Kopi & Minuman Kean Seng, Gunung Rapat, Ipoh

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another version of Food Hunt and it's a Sunday folks. How have you been? Hope you all had been great all this while. My Food Hunt journey continues in Ipoh and this time I will bring you guys to the famous Assam Laksa in Gunung Rapat, Ipoh. This is yet another hidden gem restaurant situated in Gunung Rapat and only the local people knows about this restaurant. If you are from outstation, you might not heard about this restaurant. It's a village type of shop and it's situated along the Gunung Rapat main road and it's just opposite the main market. This restaurant opens late and closes early. Introducing Kedai Kopi & Minuman Kean Seng.

We reached the restaurant at about 1.00pm and the restaurant is almost full. Please also bear in mind that the seat on this restaurant is limited and since it's a 1 storey shop, it only has about 10 tables inside the restaurant and you have wait if there's full of crowd. We reached there and it's almost full but we still manage to find a place to sit. As I said, famous restaurants tend to get crowded easily. We sat down and we ordered drinks first as usual. I've ordered their famous drink that served over there which is the famous 'Limau Kasturi' (Lemon Lime) Juice (RM1.50). For you to order the Assam Laksa (RM2.20 per bowl), you need to proceed to the hawker stall outside the restaurant to order and you may also choose side dishes or orders such as fish balls, tofu, 'fu zhuk' and others (RM0.50 per piece).

Assam Laksa & Lemon Lime Juice

It does not take very long for the Assam Laksa to arrive and it takes about 5 minutes only. It's pretty fast though although there's a lot of customers. Well, it's not difficult to prepare the Assam Laksa as you need to just cook the mee and then the Assam is already well prepared. Good job! Alright, let me tell you the taste of the Assam Laksa. Now if you love sour Assam Laksa, this is the place for you else you will feel it's not nice. I prefer spicy and sweet as well as little sour compared to this Assam Laksa which is completely sour taste. Of course, you can add more Prawn Paste to make it sweeter. Still, it's not spicy though. I would rate it so-so taste. For the Lemon Lime Juice, it's very nice and a recommended drink over here. Do try it over here.

The price is not so expensive considering a bowl of Assam Laksa costs RM2.20 per bowl but it's very small portion. The side orders of fish balls, tofu and others costs about RM0.50 per piece and I would say the price is pretty reasonable. The total bill for us is about RM16.00 plus everything including drinks for 4 persons. I would still recommend you to come over here to try out the Assam Laksa over here and give me some comments whether you like it or not because different people will have different taste. My family loves the taste of it but not me. Enjoy! MY RATING: 3/5 ; FAMILY RATING: 5/5
