Ipoh Trip Day 2 Part 2

Remember when I said Day 2 was about discovering good places? Our dinner place happened to be in Bercham area which was a short drive from Tambun. After the exhausting day playing water at The Lost World of Tambun, it was time to enjoy dinner.

Vaguely remember reading about Rasa Lain from other socmed when I was searching for a restaurant - but the name piqued my interest so Rasa Lain it was...

◾Claypot Unagi Rice - ordered the portion big enough to feed 9 of us. No muddy taste in the eel that (almost) covered the rice underneath which was a plus point. The kids were not a fan of unagi but the rice in the claypot was good as it was mixed with soy sauce and the sweet teriyaki sauce. For one, I also couldn't resist taking a few scoops. ◾Steamed Fish Balls which I swear that I could play ping pong with it - simple, bouncy and sweet. ◾Mongolian Lamb Chop - cut into small pieces and fried with the Mongolian sauce, served with fries on the side. ◾Marmite Pork Ribs for the kids was gone in no time. ◾Eggplant was another hit with me...

Brisk business for a Saturday evening, got our table immediately and dishes came out about 10 minutes. The boss (Chinese bald dude) was very friendly and not mean like how others put him to be before this.

So we had the Crab Glass Noodle, Kam Heong Lala (Clams), Unagi + Lap Cheong (Chinese Sausage) Claypot Rice, and Claypot Cheese Prawns.

Each dish was delicious and umami in its own way. I personally prefer both the claypot dishes as I find them very unique. Prawns were fresh, deveined nicely. The crabs were meaty and plump, while the clams were fresh as well. I was worried whether they’ll overcook the Unagi but it was just right.

Price wise is on the higher end, about RM350 (including 2 big bottles of sugar cane) with the crab dish taking half of the bill itself. However it’s...
