Z013: First Mapo Restaurant

Two years ago, I felt in love with this food. However, this stall moved to another place due to the super good business. From then onward, I lost track of the stall... was really sad about it...

Just a few days ago, I found the shop. *nyeh nyeh nyeh* Call me silly or blur, haha... Actually it was at the same row but further down towards the other end, haha... *ahem* ANYWAY! Found it and was overjoyed!

A sense of familiarity and longing once I step into the restaurant. Imagine, they once rend a small corner stall in a coffee shop, now with the full ownership under this Mapo Restaurant. How cool! Just imagine how good is the business!


Mapo Restaurant is located right behind Jusco Ipoh and behind Tesco. The same row of shop lots where 1919 is the corner shop. Just a few shops away from 1919. Note: Every Tuesday is closed.

They used to serve only personal set/family set where you order the main dish, which is the type of chicken/fish/meat cooked and it will be served with rice and vege. Now, they have more varieties.

Chicken: Chicken Nestum (superb!), Lemon/ Mango/ Nyonya/ Butter/ Clay Pots/ Sour Sweet/ Lotus/ Thai Style...
Fish: Ginger Garlic/ Black Pepper/ Nyonya/ Sour Sweet/ Pineapple...
Soup: Pickle/ Seaweed/ Ginger Egg/ Fish...
Tofu: Sizzling/ Clay Pots/ Vietnamese/ Seafood...
Ribs, Vege, Prawns, Squid, Deer, Egg and Fried Rice/Mee...

One of the very famous dish: Chicken Nestum!! (a must try!)

Tom Yam soup... it was a little too thick. And my friends complaint the soup was a little too spicy, hmm...
Mango Chicken. Sour and sweet... yumm... It's all about the mango for sure!

Belacan Vegetable =)

Jared wanted to order more at first. Thanks to the boss, she stopped him from ordering more, haha... Asked us to order later if we can finish everything, don't waste food!! If not, me, Carol, Nic and Jared would have suffer, haha... Note: BIG portion!

Price is really reasonable. Personal set is from RM4-6. Others would have to depends. Personal set used to come with rice and vege, but now only the main dish and rice. Well, what can I say? But one thing for sure, the quality is still good, yep!

I was kind of surprised that the boss actually recognised me, haha... "Ei! You used to work in Levi's right?" *fuh! Ganas!* Salute her! Bear in mind, I have seen her for 2 years!!

Overall: 7.5/10
