down the memory lane, I could still recall the good old days when dad used to bring me to the old Hainan style coffee shop where they made their own bread, steamed bread, and own coffee. When they were overtaken by the new generation of restaurant, coffee shop and kopitiam, it is very difficult to find their brand of food. True enough, you can still find steam bread in the chains of kopitiam but their own style of chicken/ pork chop or fried noodle is difficult to find.
In 36 stalls of Kampar, there is at least one- stall no 10. In Kampar old town, near the police station, beside Gold Wing coffee shop, near the end there is this stall manned by a middle age chinese chap. He manage to cook some decent Hainanese delicacy.
I never tried the friend noodle though, but everytime I come here, the pork/ chicken chop is a must to order. Though a bit expensive comparing to others, it costs bout RM 4 for a chicken/ pork chop rice. Of course you can argue that for Rm 5 you can order the newer version of chop rice where the meat is marinated the same for whatever sauce you order, and the usual run of the mill creamy, thai, mushroom, or mayo sauce. Then again, this is different so cant compare. The meat is usually devoid of fat, cut into slices. Dip into egg and deep friend, ended up with sweet sour sauce with a few green beans on top. That is a Hainanese style porkchop rice.
Of course, comparing with the olden days are rather unfair, but to give credit, the taste is rather similar. Then again, this type of chops are rare, I think so far, there is only one other place in Ipoh I manage to find, but not so in Kampar. Probably come try it for the nostalgic flavour.
