Trying not-so-Ipoh food in Ipoh

During our trip to Ipoh last month, we discovered a number of restaurants with the Grab dine-out offer.

The first was V Signature Bowl, a pokebowl shop. We ordered two of the recommended bowls instead of making our own.

teriyaki salmon, RM28.90 nett

jelly salmon, RM23.90 nett

Teriyaki salmon came with perfectly grilled salmon, and the skin was so crispy! Here's the ingredient list from the menu (that I found on Google :P ) : teriyaki salmon, scallop muscle, cherry tomato, edamame, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, seaweed flakes, lettuce.

Jelly salmon came with: jellyfish, almond, walnut, chuka wakame, shoyu salmon, pumpkin seeds, wasabi, corn, sesame seeds.

They might have swapped some ingredients...since both bowls have corn. But no matter, it wasn't like we remembered each item when the dishes came...what's important is that they were both extremely good!

Another visit was to Mom's de Pot.

We ordered an assam curry fish set (RM18.90), which comes with rice, tea, and some vegetables (acar). The nice thing was that they brought us a jug of tea (which was refillable) and three glasses, even though the three of us ordered just one set. Then we added on two à-la-carte dishes (small size, for 1-2pax): pig trotter vinegar (RM19) and claypot kangkung (RM15).

Every dish tasted good; and after the meal, we decided we needed another photo to show how clean the dishes were.

There was a service charge of 6% at this shop.

And then this one was not with Grab, but one night we decided to try a famous mee rebus not so far away (to avoid needing to go into town). The shop is called Mee Rebus Ramli.

mee bandung (new item on the menu), RM9

mee rebus, RM7.90

mee rebus daging, RM12.80

The beef in the mee bandung seemed slightly more tender than the one in the mee rebus, but I think I prefer the gravy of the mee rebus (and the beef was tender enough too). The plain mee rebus was good too, but I would want a little meat to go with it. :P They have chicken and prawn versions too, and I believe some others that I can't remember...

They charge an SST of 6% on top of the menu prices.
