Funny Mountain Tau Fu Fah @ Jalan Theatre, Ipoh, Perak

Warning: A most saliva-inducing, gastronomic trail awaits you :P

Heyllooo dear readers!(;

So I finally made a trip to Ipoh after wanting to visit this quaint lil' town for so long! *Yayyy!*
The initial plan was actually to go to the heaven of food - Penang only but since we were all starving in the car already, so we decided to drop by Ipoh to have our lunch,which is, I must say, sheer bliss (:

 For your information, Ipoh is actually just 3 hours away from Kuala Lumpur. Despite the fact however, I hardly ever visit Ipoh (though it's my paternal side's hometown). And even when I do, it used to be only a short 2 days 1 night getaway. My last visit to Ipoh was about one year ago for a day trip but I couldn't really remember when exactly it is.

And now I am here to introduce you guys one of the best street food you can find in Ipoh - Tau Fu Fah.

Funny Mountain's Tau Fu Fah it is.

And this is no ordinary dessert, I might say. Started back in the early 1950's, the Tan brothers have been churning out two goodies Ipoh seems to be associated with - soybean milk and curd. It was said that the quality of their serving remain unchanged since the early days.

You can either stop your vehicle in front of the stall, signal a little and the workers will deliver your orders. Or you can walk to the stall and get your drinks after a short while. I guess it is perhaps the one and only so-called 'drive through' soy bean stall in the whole wide world the land of Malaysia. Yeah, you can literally enjoy your bowl of Tau Fu Fah in the comfort of your roaring engine.




You get the idea now? (:




Don't ask me why it's called Funny Mountain Soya Bean though, it is. Hmm, Maybe it's just a catchy name to be remembered or the soy beans actually came from a mountain with a funny name.(uhhh) But the latter is sorta ridiculous yes?





It is located at Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar, Ipoh which is just diagonally opposite the infamous Foh San Dim Sum outlet. ( actually my sister has been searching high and low for their soy bean pudding/custard the last time she went there. Little did we know that Funny Mountain is just nearby all of the famous street food in Ipoh!)





To be very frank, I have heard a lot of people commenting about this stall, saying how good their Tau Fu Fah is, but I never bother to try. I mean, duhh, it is just Tau Fu Fah after all, how good can it be, what's the big deal and all, not until the day I tried it.

Sorry this is just a blur :x

Really really regretted for not trying it earlier! I would definitely have it again the next time I visit Ipoh! 

Cuz' it is so good, as in godly good!

It's claimed to be the smoothest Tau Fu Fah (Soybean Custard/ Curd) in town. It is so smooth that it slides down your throat one spoonful at a time. Before you knew it, you are already ordering your second serving.

i just can't stop laughing at this picture *inside joke*

They are featured in the newspaper as well. ;D

Hmm, I somehow still think that the name is wacky. 

but really...the thought of slurping (yes, you don't even need to chew,how awesome) on those smooth, almost melt-in-mouth Tau Fu Fah, served commonly with a drizzly of sugar syrup with a faint hint of ginger, all the while in the comfort of your air-conditioned vehicle. Priceless yesss?

And if you feel like it, help yourself to the take-away containers of those sweet, slithering down one's throat wonder. Or a bottle of two of their equally satisfying soybean drink, which is creamy, milky and wholesome in itself.
