Kampar may live small. But nosotros had (yes had!) a lot of skillful food. Back inward the olden days, earlier the North South Highway was built, Kampar was a pop selection to halt over for meals due to its location correct along the torso road.
During breakfast hours,. families halt over at Seng Kee for wantan mee, or the marketplace for the Ham Dan Fun (cockle egg fried noodle), MalaiWong Prawn noodle, HarLok noodles contrary the town plain as well as of course of educational activity the ever famous Rat Noodle @ Silver Pin Noodle alongside homemade fishballs available at many stalls inward town. Oh yeah, as well as Chee cheong fun, the thick type!
Nowadays many of the onetime fourth dimension nutrient stalls were taken over past times the side past times side generation, or simply stopped the business. It's no longer every bit skillful but still..... ahh.... it's nostalgic. Food memories never fade as well as nosotros ever promise that that gustation is never forgotten.
Those of us who grew upwards inward Kampar, grew upwards eating well-nigh the same breakfast. As nutrient is easily available as well as it's affordable, most parents don't laid upwards breakfast as well as volition purchase them from the morning time market.
This week, I volition characteristic the altitude three favourite breakie for most Kamparians from the marketplace area, as well as thus I volition motion on to other foods institute at other times of the day.
Lor Mai Fan or sticky rice inward Kampar is a fighting unlike from what y'all larn elsewhere. Here, it is served alongside cerise roasted char siu, fried peanuts, jump onions alongside curry every bit an option.

When I was a kid.. at that topographic point was this stall at the marketplace (the onetime identify exterior of Emporium Perak), somewhere non every bit good far from the roast grunter shops, at that topographic point is this stall of Lor Mai Fan that has a real long queue. I genuinely never dared to purchase from them, because the lady at the stall has a real very fair complexion alongside real pale lips summation a tattooed outline simply about the eye....... she scared me. This was the most pop stall of all the lor mai fans inward town. I produce yell back their char siu real well. It's generally fat, but it's fragrant, crunchy as well as sweet. Very delightful to consume fifty-fifty if they are fat. But I won't purchase it myself due to my fright of the lady. Sadly this stall chose to terminate their draw of piece of occupation organisation although draw of piece of occupation organisation was super dee good.
There were other stalls simply about as well as now.. it's skillful chance for the others.
