Ipoh Kopitiam, 1411 S Garfield Ave, Ste 104, Alhambra, CA 91801

Ipoh Kopitiam sure is popular, perhaps because there are so few Malaysian restaurants in the area. The owner is from Ipoh, Malaysia. The menu includes Malaysian and Singaporean food, including kaya toast, roti canai, rice dishes (Hainan chicken, nasi lemak, beef rendang), noodle dishes (wonton mee, prawn mee), side orders, and drinks (including Malaysian white coffee, Malaysia black coffee).

Singaporean curry laksa ($15.95): round rice noodles of medium thickness, curry broth, fried tofu puffs, sliced fish cakes, two huge head on prawns, 1 hard boiled egg, bean sprouts. The broth is medium spicy and deep with the flavors of lemongrass, galangal, and shrimp paste. Everything was tender and slightly sweet, including the prawns, egg, tofu, fish cakes, broth, etc.  I think the ingredients are better at Ipoh Kopitiam but I prefer the laksa at QQ Kopitiam in Pasadena – it seems more complex.

Malaysian white coffee ($3.95): similar to Vietnamese iced coffee, strong but sweet (it contains condensed milk), not as strong as Vietnamese iced coffee though

The space looks nice – new, clean, and bright with white walls and color pictures of hawker stalls. You can check in on the iPad by the entrance. There are parking spaces behind the restaurant and also in an underground garage.

4 out of 5 stars.

Svt & learning to cook food from s/o’s homecountry (aka not korean food). A different culture & food for each member would rlly cool

making you a meal from your country

content: established relationship, fluff, foreign reader (non-korean), etc.

wc: 872

a/n: this was such a cute concept omg!! i picked the food items and the home countries at random btw sorry if i got some dishes wrong pls lmk if there's any corrections i should make 😭

masterlist

seungcheol -

he wouldn't be able to stand your homesickness for even one second, feeling too sad at your sadness and deciding to do everything in his power to make you feel better. he'd ask around for traditional south african dishes leading him to make you some chakalaka while you were at work. the hours of trial and error wouldve been worth it the moment he saw the happiness in your eyes at his efforts.

jeonghan -

being quite used to simply ordering takeout whenever he so pleased, jeonghan was not used to cooking at home too often. however, if his sweet s/o wanted some homemade tom yum soup, then he'd deliver! after a quick call to mingyu (and an hour or two of messing around in the kitchen), he'd be ready with your food. he loves thai food, so this would be a win-win situation for him.

joshua -

he knew you sometimes missed australia and were unable to go back and forth as you pleased, so josh would occasionally indulge you in making meat pie for you, following a recipe you'd once made for him early in your relationship.

jun -

he'd had indian food before and loved it, so it did not take any convincing for him to decide to make you some indian street food. he'd do it out of his own volition pretty often, actually. by now, he had mastered the art of various dishes, specially panipuri, which he would frequently make for you, and sometimes he'd even share some with his members.

soonyoung -

if he sensed you growing homesick and missing your usual chinese cuisine, he'd go out of his way to seek out jun or minghao to ask what food may make you feel a bit better. he'd then take on the task of making you the most delicious street breakfast, jianbing, knowing it wasnt too difficult a task for him and that it was a meal you'd often have in your youth.

wonwoo -

wonwoo was quite known for his lack of ability in the kitchen, but that would not stop him from making you some laksa whenever you were feeling particularly homesick. despite not knowing how to make any other singaporean dishes, he'd have specifically mastered at least one in order to take care of you in such a domestic way whenever the opportunity arose.

jihoon -

never having been one to cook much (he'd much rather stick to washing dishes), he'd struggle a lot through making you some pastéis de nata for your anniversary, deciding to make a korean-portuguese fusion of meals to celebrate your relationship. ok, maybe he called mingyu over to help, but the joy in your eyes as you shared the meal with him had made it worth all of mingyu's nagging as he followed his instructions to the letter.

seokmin -

he's never been to spain, but he's had a few spanish meals throughout his life, so he'd quickly understand why you'd often complain about the lack of authentic spanish food near your shared apartment. would take it upon himself to learn how to make paella in the most perfect manner imaginable just to see a smile on your face.

mingyu -

making a pizza from scratch was easier said than done, but mingyu had taken on the task the moment you let him know of the fomo you felt at seeing him and his best friends explore your country of origin, italy. you'd watched nana tour happily, but still felt a bit off at knowing you couldn't be there with your boyfriend. but fear not! mingyu was about to bring the authentic italian experience to your door!

minghao -

he's been to the united states so many times by now that he just knows american food by heart. wouldnt even need a recipe to know how to make you some classic barbecue on a sunny afternoon. would even make an entire day out of it, grilling under the sun while you sunbathed next to him.

seungkwan -

seungkwan has always thought himself to be quite a good cook. or at least he was quite good at making korean food. japanese food was another story. he knew how badly you missed homemade sushi, never enjoying any from your nearby restaurants. he'd have to ask for your help at some point, but the end result would be the two of you sharing a nice moment making a meal together, so it all went according to plan.

vernon -

he doesnt know how to cook neither korean nor american food, but you best bet he'll try his hardest to make you traditional vietnamese food in the form of bun cha and bánh xèo. it looked easy and like it tasted good, how hard could it be? would try his bestest but eventually need to ask you for help completing the task. a+ for effort, though.

chan -

he already loves mexican food, so making it for you wouldnt even be something you'd have to request from him – he'd just do it on his own! he'd already mastered all types of street food, eventually opting to make you menudo, knowing how much you enjoyed that meal as a child.

What Arch Ate

Hello all, I'm The_Archmagos, and welcome to WAA, where I'll attempt to document various pieces of Singaporean cuisine to show to you all!

Today, we have Laksa!

Here's a more photogenic image of it.

Laksa is a soupy, noodle based dish common in Southeast Asia, especially in Singapore and Malaysia. It uses fairly soft rice noodles in a spicy, very rich broth, and usually features seafood such as fish cake, prawns, and cockles, as well as tofu.

A recent favourite of mine, since I used to be kinda scared off by spice. Very good, if you can tolerate that!

[levi-supreme]

Rei, I'm so sorry for taking so long to send this. But, the truth must be told

Singaporean Levi and Singaporean raised Miche are co-workers in a company.

Enter the new recruit, Erwin. Erwin’s never left his own country and is heavily western-ish, so he falls trap when this convo takes place by the printers:

Miche: How's Singaporean weather for you?

Erwin: it's new to me (*assuming he's from a cold place) but I can manage

Miche: Great, have you tried the outdoor cuisine? No reservations needed, and it's a buffet

Levi, overhearing the conversation and knows that Miche's gonna take him to a hawker centre

Erwin: outdoor restaurants in this weather 😳 really?

Miche: 😏 yeah, and there's this salad you have to try

At this point Levi is all 👁👄👁 but still listens to the convo

Miche: it's leafy greens sauteed in blended chili paste and shrimp.

Erwin- sounds ... new. But definitely trying that while I'm here

Cut to Erwin leaving the printing station and Miche turning to Levi with a smug look

Levi: you gave the guy a recipe to kanglong sambal

Miche: I thought you were gonna kill me for calling hawker centres outdoor cuisine

Levi: I killed you a long time ago when you said dumplings, gyoza and shumai are the same [from experience, I have a friend like this]

Miche: that was in college 👁👄👁

Levi: exactly

I'm having so much fun with asean vets 😭😭

NICKKKKK 😭😭😭💕💕💕 I'm so sorry I took so long to answer this too 😭😭 I'm going to answer this below the cut just because you and I are the only ones who'll get this, and I have so much to say about this too 😭😭

Okay if I were biased, I would totally headcanon Levi to be Singaporean-born whose race is an Eurasian (French mum, Singaporean Chinese dad). His parents ended up getting a divorce and he chose to live with his mum, so he ditched his Chinese surname and adopted his mother's maiden surname instead. He would be the mixed blood kid in school that gets mistaken for a Chinese boy until people see how grey his eyes are, and what his name is. Levi grew up speaking fluent English, Mandarin, French, and Singlish too.

Mike on the other hand is a second generation Singaporean whose parents emigrated to Singapore in the 1960s or 1970s. I would like to imagine that Mike's parents were originally from the United Kingdom. Mike grew up speaking English at home, but he attended school with other Singaporean kids and picked up Chinese from his peers. He also studied Chinese as his Mother Tongue in primary and secondary school.

Somehow Levi and Mike became friends in university, and they ended up being colleagues at work too. Their Head of Department said there was a new guy joining their department, and he turns out to be Erwin!!!

Erwin is very VERY westernised and speaks with a thick English accent too. He's only been in Singapore for a week and is still clueless about the culture and customs here. Mike probably befriended Erwin first because hey, they're both English men haha. Erwin is what everyone would call a 'foreign talent' and he holds an Employment Pass.

Mike tried to be funny and wanted to tell Erwin about the hawker centres and the kopitiam, so he told Erwin about the 'outdoor dining', and Mike also invited Erwin to join him and Levi for lunch at the hawker centre the next day.

Erwin was sweating buckets at the hawker centre because it was hotter than he imagined 😂😂 Erwin was also very amazed at the variety of food available at the hawker centre too ("so this is why you called it a buffet..." Erwin says to Mike), and he was also very surprised that people use tissue papers and umbrellas to reserve their tables 😂

Erwin didn't know what to get, and Mike suggested laksa. Poor Erwin who has a low spice tolerance was sweating even more from the laksa, and his face was so red too 😭 Mike apologised and bought him a milo dinosaur as an apology, and offered to exchange his bowl of wanton noodles with Erwin. In the meantime, Levi was eating his Hainanese Chicken rice with two plates of chilli sauce.

"Isn't that spicy?" Erwin questioned and Levi merely shrugged.

"That's nothing to him. Levi can eat chilli padi without drinking a sip of water," Mike sniggered and Erwin look confused. "Oh, chilli padi is a really small but extremely spicy chilli."

The two of them had a nice time introducing Erwin to Singaporean culture and food. Levi randomly brought up the time Mike told him that dumplings, gyoza, and siew mai are the same thing, and Erwin looks at them confused again.

"Dumplings are Chinese, gyoza is Japanese, and siew mai is a Cantonese dim sum. How the fuck are they the same thing?" Levi looks at Mike angrily.

"They all have meat stuffed inside them don't they?"

"They don't even look the same, and they are made with different ingredients!"

And the two of them end up arguing the whole time while Erwin tried to Google just what are dumplings and siew mai.

The three of them become great friends. And of course, being the good friends they are, the two of them taught Erwin how to scold vulgarities and swear in the different languages and dialects, and how to speak in Singlish. Erwin finds it really crude initially, but now he caves in and sometimes swears lol. Levi likes scolding 'kannina' (fuck in Hokkien) and 'cao jibai' (smelly vagina in Hokkien). Mike usually swears in English but he also scolds vulgarities like 'hong gan' (similar to getting fucked in Hokkien) and 'sek si' (eat shit in Cantonese). Erwin doesn't swear in dialects much, but once Levi swore he heard Erwin mutter "walao eh" (actually means 'my husband' when translated from Hokkien, but it can also be something like omg or wth) under his breath, and Levi smirked.

(I am also having loads of fun with ASEAN vets too 😭😭😭 please send me more of them 🥺)

[the-canteen-auntie]

What a day! I haven’t cooked for more than 10 people since college when I helmed a cooking club and did things like laksa night for 100 people with the Singaporean Students Association. I daresay my cooking skills have improved since then? But it was awesome that @practicetuckshop provided me (and other aspiring cooks!) with the place to do something I’ve always wanted to do ever since I watched that One Piece episode 14 years ago about Sanji making a meal and winning a competition with leftover ingredients - a kaiseki-style meal with rescued ingredients without having to be casted for MasterChef.

Kingsford Cafe is a Hidden Culinary Gem in Kingsford Hotel Manila

It had been a while since my last visit to Kingsford Cafe, so I was happy to be invited last week to rediscover this hidden culinary gem inside Kingsford Hotel Manila. I usually indulge in their themed weekend dinner buffets, but this time we were here to explore some of the unique and creative dishes on their a la carte menu.

Kingsford Hotel Manila is part of the growing lineup of homegrown Filipino hotel brands under Megaworld Hotels and Resorts. It’s located at Bagong Nayong Pilipino, just beside Okada Manila and right in the middle of the bustling Entertainment City. Since it's opening in late 2021 (Kingsford Café Opens Its Doors at Kingsford Hotel Manila), the hotel has been a popular choice for businessmen and travelers looking for a relaxing stay just minutes away from the NAIA airport terminals.

You can find Kingsford Café at the ground floor lobby serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus. The café comes with a refreshing and relaxing ambiance. Its contemporary design and cozy interiors are complemented with beautiful wall art pieces.

The restaurant can accommodate up to 128 guests with dedicated seats available for alfresco dining. Guests may also dine privately with sectioned dining spaces ideal for intimate corporate events and other social gatherings.

We were delighted to once again meet Kingsford Café’s Executive Chef Angelo Chubby Timban, a well adorned champion in international cooking competitions and celebrated for his creativity and passion for the craft. Staying close to his roots, Chef Chubby’s dishes pay homage to a strong Filipino upbringing but redefined through modern European techniques alongside contemporary Asian executions. The concept is to celebrate the rich produce of the Philippines and its multicultural influences by featuring nostalgic local flavors to capture the heart of every guest.

Last year, Chef Chubby had created a very special Sampaguita Menu which features dishes inspired and infused with our national flower, the Sampaguita. This also includes Sampaguita beverages like the SaMaRRa (P320) on the left, a refreshing Sampaguita tea combined with mango juice, tarragon leaves, peppermint leaves, and vanilla extract. On the other hand, the Paraw Regatta (P280) is a cocktail named after the annual Iloilo sailboat festival featuring the Paraw. It comes with Jasmine tea, vodka, mango juice, blue curaçao, and grenadine.

It was then time to try some of the featured signature dishes in Kingsford Café's a la carte menu. I've always been amazed at Chef Chubby's presentation and flavors, but we were really surprised with the new lineup that looks more appropriate inside a five-star fine dining restaurant instead of a casual dining cafe.

We started with one of their bestsellers, the Kingsford Laksa (P300). This is a modern presentation of the Singaporean laksa with its creamy laksa broth poured over a medley of shrimp, bean sprouts, crisp miki noodles, young corn and straw mushrooms. It's a different experience from the traditional laksa, especially with the crispy noodles, but the overall flavors of the fragrant laksa are still very much present.

My favorite and best new discovery that afternoon was the Kare-Kareng Bagnet (P450). This lovely deconstructed Kare-kare dish comes with crispy fried pork belly doused in a rich peanut and annatto sauce. It also has steamed lowland vegetables and served with slow cooked ginamos.

I really loved the crunchy chicharron together with the juicy and savory pork belly. This is one of the best versions of Kare Kare I have ever tasted and I would gladly come back to Kingsford Cafe just for this alone.

We also wanted to sample some of their special Sampaguita Menu, so we ordered the Gambas Royale (P580). This dish has big pieces of prawn al ajillo presented with Lucban risotto, soffits, asparagus, sampaguita, and mango salsa. It's not your usual Spanish-type gambas as it has less of the garlicky flavors but is more savoury and balanced, especially with the risotto and vegetables.

On the other hand, the Bistek Tagalog (P500) is a twist on the traditional Filipino dish. This one comes with thick and fatty roasted beef belly with grilled cauliflower, roasted rustic potatoes, monggo and sampaguita caviar in a caramelized calamansi and lacuna jus sauce. I've never seen Bistek Tagalog served this way but we really enjoyed this thicker, meatier, and more flavorful version.

For desserts, we also tried two of their colorful Sampaguita items that really put a big smile on my face.

The Sakura Brazo de Mercedes (P300) is as pretty as they get. This has a mixed berry mousse cake on the bottom topped with a cherry micro sponge and chocolate branch with edible soil. Usually, you can only find this type of presentation in fine dining restaurants, so I was really impressed that they serve this here at a very reasonable price. Imagine going on a date and being served this dessert. You will really be going home happy.

But that's not all, because I was even more impressed with the Mango Sampaguita Cheesecake (P320). I have eaten so many cheesecakes before but this was one of the best versions I have ever tasted! This deconstructed cheesecake is made with Sampaguita cream cheese, mango jelly, blueberry, and edible soil. The sweet cheesecake tasted like my favorite Hokkaido milk, so I really loved finishing this splendid dish.

Kingsford Hotel Manila also has a few promotions in store for Father's Day. Show your love for Dad in the best way—through his stomach. Take him to a tasty food trip experience with a Weekend Dinner Buffet or a Father’s Day Buffet Lunch and bond over delectable food selections as endless as your conversations. Go up to the fifth floor pool area for a savory Chill and Grill, and chatter over unlimited drinks and a platter of grilled meats against a stunning backdrop of the city. Then end the day relaxed and stress-free with their cozy Deluxe Room, with a high-speed internet connection and a TV for a fun movie time–just the way dad likes it.

Moments are definitely priceless, and so is their Kingsford Beer Mug! Make the moment last with a souvenir that he can use for years, and get your dad’s seal of approval at no cost, as the Beer Mug comes free with the room package. The King of the House Package starts at P8,988 nett for 2 pax and includes an Overnight Stay for 2, Buffet Breakfast for 2, Weekend Buffet Dinner or Father’s Day Lunch for 2, Chill and Grill for Dad, and a free Kingsford Beer Mug for Dad. The package is available from June 14 to June 16, 2024 only.

We also took home some chocolates courtesy of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts which features eight different flavors representing eight of their outstanding local hotel brands. We would like to thank Lance Bermejo, Marketing Officer of Kingsford Hotel Manila, for inviting us back at Kingsford Cafe to try out these wonderful new dishes. Kingsford Cafe is one of the most underrated and best value-for-money hotel restaurants in the city, so make sure to drop and discover this hidden gem.

The Perfect Start to Your Day Pickled Cucumber in a Healthy Breakfast Singapore

In the vibrant city of Singapore, where culinary delights from all corners of the world converge, finding a nutritious yet delicious breakfast can sometimes feel like a challenge. But fear not, as we unveil the perfect solution that marries health with taste: pickled cucumber in a healthy breakfast Singapore.

Singaporeans are renowned for their love of food, but in recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of maintaining a balanced diet. With the hectic pace of modern life, it's crucial to start the day right with a nutritious breakfast that fuels both body and mind. And what better way to do so than with a dish that combines the freshness of pickled cucumber with the diverse flavors of Singaporean cuisine?

Pickled cucumber might seem like an unlikely addition to breakfast, but its tangy crunch adds a refreshing twist that pairs beautifully with a variety of morning staples. Whether you prefer it alongside your eggs, mixed into your yogurt, or as a topping for your whole grain toast, pickled cucumber provides a burst of flavor that wakes up your taste buds and sets the tone for a great day ahead.

When it comes to crafting a healthy breakfast in Singapore, the options are endless. You can opt for a traditional Singaporean breakfast of kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs, or indulge in a hearty bowl of laksa or congee. No matter your preference, adding pickled cucumber elevates the nutritional value of your meal while adding a delightful contrast of textures and tastes.

One of the reasons pickled cucumber shines as a breakfast accompaniment is its health benefits. Cucumbers are low in calories but high in essential nutrients like vitamins K and C, as well as potassium and fiber. The pickling process further enhances their nutritional profile by introducing probiotics, which promote gut health and aid digestion. This makes pickled cucumber not only delicious but also a smart choice for those looking to boost their morning meal's nutritional content.
