Kadai Makanan & Minuman Ding Feng — Restaurant in Perak

If you have been to Ipoh, you should have been to the hipster district in Ipoh, Concubine Lane which is in the back alley of the shophouses. Ding Feng Dessert Tau Fu Fa has been selling Teochew Beancurd in that area, however they had recently moved out of the place to a nearby location, Jalan Bijeh Timah.

Soon after a quick stroll through the Concubine Lane, the sky turned darker and started to pour. Ding Feng is located at the corner of the shophouse and we were lucky to get a parking lot along the row of shop houses.

As it was raining heavily, we stopped by Ding Feng Dessert Tau Fu Fa to shelter us from the rain as well as trying out the Teochew style Tau Fu Fa.

The beancurd was absolutely smooth and hearty with the ginger sugar syrup topping up the blandness. The ginger syrup gave a good strong taste and a tad spiciness to its taste. It aids to keep the tummy warm during this rainy day.

Tau Fu Fa 豆花 - RM 3

While the Sea Birdnest was served differently topping the Tau Fu Fa with gingko nuts and Sea Birtdnest. Although there were not much flavours from the Sea Birdnest, it brings alot of health benefits.

Besides Tau Fu Fa, we also ordered their Sea Birdnest Soy Milk. The drink is abit on the sweeter side.

Right Back into the shop, there is a corner with a rice container, bicycle placed on a wooden decking with auspicious "Ang Cai". Was it some kind of Feng Shui Corner?

We did not get to try other food / snacks from their menu as we were rather full after lunch. As an overall, I will say that their Tau Fu Fa is still...

I have a conflicted mind in trying to review this place. On one hand, I enjoyed sitting down and eating here. The table and chairs are much better than the other taufufa places. They have enough fans for the place to be airy so I didn't feel hot. They took a bit more effort for their decor and it definitely looks nicer and more inviting than the other taufufa places.

As for the taufufa, the plain taufufa only allows ginger and normal sugar syrup. There's no dark syrup option. However I found it enjoyable otherwise, soft and silky. The soya milk with glutinous rice ball was plain and there's brown sugar at the table for you to add the sweetness. The glutinous rice ball is totally plain with no internal filling which I found strange.

However, I totally enjoyed the teow chew tau fu fa. I found that the ginger syrup with the caramelized sugar combined well with the taufufa to give it an interesting texture and taste. If you are not sure what to order, then order this.

It was generally an ok experience but nothing...

Overhyped so owner/staff assumed we came for d fame -1*. he wasn't patient with us as we took sometime to study d menu n to place order. There wasn't anyone else q-ing after us.

Tried d teochew tau foo fah n iced soya bean milk. d curd is not d smooth type which we r used to. Can taste d soyabean taste n can feel soya bean texture which to some pple, acquired taste n feel. Soyabean drink is also not d silky smooth type that we r used to. I m OK, my child is not used to d textures. Can't figure out what's d ingredient in d teochew tau foo fah, just find it unusual n m open to trying it :)

Interior of d eatery (didn't bother to take pictures) is set up for IG-pictures/check in. Seating capacity is ~20-30 but v few r actually eating. Tour groups use this as a resting/restroom pit stop so d toilet is actually a mess...
