Everybody loves Ipoh for its delicious
authentic food. If you have ever been to Ipoh, you can spot a lot of unique cafés
and restaurants offering really good cuisine. Not like those pretentious cafés
selling overpriced delicacies, the ones in Ipoh are definitely delicious. Same
goes to this little café called Buku Tiga Lima located just next to the very
famous Burp and Giggles. We also think that they share the same owner. The
amusing thing here is, it has no proper entrance. You have to enter Burp and
Giggles’s entrance and go through a small door inside. Isn’t it feels like
Alice in the Wonderland?
The interior is very unique and quirky. Every
little thing is different from one another – tables have different chairs,
antique décors, old motorbikes, outdated power switches, and many more. Just
wonder around and you will surely find something antique and unique every time.
Buku Tiga Lima provides light comfort foods like crepes, bagels and a few
heavier meals.
For something sweet, you can start with the
the Pears, Mars chunk, mascarpone, ginger butterscotch crepe that will cost of
you about RM13. Once the dish is served, you can instantly see the beautiful
light crepe with thin and crispy edges. In every bite, you will taste the
caramel Mars chunks, the creamy ginger butterscotch, mascarpone, and of course
the delightful crepe. Besides that, you can try the Braised Lamb Neck and
Spiced Beans on the ‘Hot Spud’ menu. This dish is simply delicious with the
flavourful and tender lamb neck, wonderful aroma of braised lamb, and sweet
potato. Sister Flo and Lola are also among the must-try dishes of Buku Tiga
Lima.
So if you are wondering around Ipoh not
really sure where to head to for a delicious western cuisine, just come over to
this vintage quaint café, Buku Tiga Lima for a quirky dining experience.
