Sing it now
"...Ice ice baby...dung dung dung dung dung dung dung...Ice ice baby..."
(they were not very good at posing)
Ipoh has a branch as well, and i went there in February but the only pic i have of the place is this, which has nothing to do with the actual shop.
Ice Ice Baby is quite nice, it has the dim lighting thing going on. We sat out the back in a corner, away from all the noisy chatter.
Above is a pub and restaurant, called Tao i think, there was live music playing and the selection of songs were good, almost oldies and some new stuff. Unfortunately, the singer though not too bad, wasn't exactly American Idol quality.
The fondue arrived and we dug in. Its alright for a first try with friends, something fun, but for RM21, i don't think i would order it again. The pot actually isn't that deep (deceiving!) and the fruits were stuff like watermelon, honeydew, lychee, banana and apple. Oh yeah, and 2 pathetic strawberries.
We observed that none of the other fruits actually tasted good slathered in chocolate except banana. I suspect that they simply chuck a bunch of fruit together, regardless of weather it compliments the taste. Sharon, who mistook the honeydew for sengkuang, suggested maybe it was a local version. I had a hard time trying not to compare it to the chocolate fountain experience i had with Rudi a while back.
After getting back at almost *cough cough* 5am, i had to get up again at 7am because i had breakfast plans. I had never been to the 'famous' soft boiled eggs and roti bakar place near the airport , so finally i was going.
Its a coffee shop, painted blue, along the side of the main road that leads to the airport. The last time i was supposed to go, the place was closed. As you can see, the sun is still just rising...
While waiting for the eggs to come, there is a gang of small pyramids sitting in the middle of the table, tempting you as you hungrily have no choice but to look at them. The sambal wasn't like sambal though, very dry but when you're hungry, anything goes.
The roti bakar came, and its all cut up nice into little small squares, which i like cause it makes it easy to dip into the egg. Something unique about this place is there's a sugar dispenser on the table for you to sprinkle sugar onto your bread. Sarah went a bit overboard with it though, but she said its cause she put too much soya sauce in her eggs.
The eggs...Oh yum!
Its not easy to find places that can make soft boiled eggs to the EXACT consistency where its not too undercooked that the egg white is transparent, and yet not just-that-little-bit overcooked where there are bits of mushy play-doh like yolk. I hate those bits, and it spoils my telur separuh masak moment, cause i either have to take them mushy bits out beforehand or avoid them while dipping in my bread.
The pricing is listed, and take note they are CLOSED on Mondays.
I wanna go again. Anyone who wants to bring me out for breakfast, please don't hesitate to ask so long as we go there.
=p
Next food place i wanna go to is Crepe Cottage along Gurney Drive. I've not gone there in more than a year, and i missed going with my CG members last month. Keeping my fingers crossed.
