Medan Selera Stall 24 Char Koay
Teow
 |
| We ordered a Ham Dan Char Koay Teow with Noodles. |
Many
people who visited the stall are attracted to the aunty’s “Frying skill” where
she sits on a small stool and fried on the floor compared to others which they
will stand and fried. When asked, aunty mentioned that its easier for her to
manipulate the charcoal and fire because it must not be too hot or warm when
the noodles are being fried, this will eventually change the taste of the HDF.
She also laughed by saying at her age, its better to sit and fry because she
cannot stand that long.

The
majority of customers having their HDF at Stall 24 gave positive feedback on
the HDF by saying that the dish is really tasty and the price is reasonable.
Students and locals must give a try they said.
Short
History :
Char
Koay Teow is a famous Malaysian Local Chinese food which means Fried rice cake
after translating. The dish itself is well renowned especially in the northern
part of Malaysia Penang. But this does not eliminate Kampar from having one of
the best Char Koay Teow in this small town in Perak. Stall 24 have been
operating since 30 years ago and the aunty currently frying the Koay Teow at
this stall is the third generation in her Family.
Ham Darn
Fun (Cockle egg rice noodle) is how the locals here named this delicious dish.
In Kampar, Ham Darn Fun is cooked in a large flat cast iron wok. The noodles
are fried in large batch first before being served individually on plates based
on customers demand. The version of Hum Darn Fun compared to the Char Koay Teow
in Penang is that the Hum darn Fun only served with eggs and cockles, a lot of
beansprouts and prawns without chinese sausages, the pork oil like its served
in Penang.

Medan Selera Stall 25 Ice Blended
On the second day, we went to Medan Selera again craving for
food, and we founded something special, Ice Blended. Based on the feedbacks we obtained from the
customers enjoying their Ice Blended on that day we conducted our discovery
session, we found out that majority of the patrons are well satisfied with the
taste and the serving of their Ice Blended. We can observe that the hot selling
items mainly consist of the White Coffee taste, Milo and also the Dragon Fruit
taste.
The
majority of the customers are made up of Local residents, UTAR and KTAR
students. On that day, we hardly see any outstation tourists because the owner
of the stall did mentioned that the Medan Selera will be more packed during
festive season or school holiday where a lot of tourist heading South will stop
by Kampar and have a meal. Furthermore the price of the Tall Ice Blended of
Stall 25 is really cheap which is RM4. Nowadays due to the high living standard
and economic downpour crisis in Malaysia, we hardly find delicious foods at
such reasonable price and that is the selling point of Mr. Wong’s ice blended.
To be precise, Out of 10 points given to the patrons on that day, all of them rated the beverage above 8 and I can assure friends out there who have not tried this Stall 25 Tall Ice Blended , do come over and have a try and you will not regret!
 |
| Beside Ice Blended, the No. 25 stall also serve many others drinks. |
Short History:
It
had been many years since Mr. Wong, the owner started this beverage business
and Ice-Blended white coffee is his hot selling item. Mr. Wong started this
business 13 years ago when he first came back from the United States of America
after spending few years there working as a bartender and he mentioned that it
was his dream to bring this “secret recipe” which is the tall ice blended into
Malaysia. He started off by only making fruit Ice Blended such as the dragon
fruits, watermelons and honeydews because the target market in Medan Selera
Market made up most of the elderly citizens who are more health conscious.
Later on Mr. Wong realize that students who visited the Medan Selera for breakfast throughout the years have increased and they prefer White coffee for breakfast and that was when he started to make ice blended White Coffee. What really attracts the locals and tourist to try out Mr. Wong’s Tall Ice Blended is the reasonable price which each glass only cost RM4.
