Beacon Point, Ipoh

If you are visiting Ipoh, be sure to stop by this quaint little restaurant called Beacon Point.  Not only is the food delicious, there is also ample parking in the surrounding area.

One of their most popular items is chicken pie which is was sold out by the time we got there.  Hence, a preorder is recommended.  They also offer a variety of cakes, cupcakes, western food and asian delights.

Spaghetti bolognaise – nothing short of a home-cooked favourite.  The meat was deliciously cooked in a mildly tangy sauce with an ample sprinkling of grated mozzarella

Meehoon Laksa – this tangy delight was garnished with ample cucumber  and onions giving this dish a lot lighter feel despite the thick coconut gravy

Nasi kerabu – alas, a mild disappointment as there wasn’t enough fresh herbs in this rather bland plate of rice

Sausages & chips for the kiddoes

Mix platter – the deep fried meaty chunks of chicken with a home-made dip were complimented with raw carrots, celery and cucumber.

 

Carrot walnut cake – a delight not to be missed!  Chunky walnut and detectable julienne carrot – what a ‘healthy’ treat!

 

Poppy seed cheesecake – a must-try if you love cheesecakes.  Not too heavy nor dense.

Chocolate cupcake – children’s favourite

Fresh mango juice – so thick it was like drinking pureed mango!

 

The entire restaurant was decorated with memorabilia from theatre performances and broadway hits.  Definitely worth a pit stop if you are in for some home-cooked favourites.  Details and map can be found on their website:
