The previous post introduced you to Ipoh 'Nga Choi Kai'. This time, we'll get you another all-time favourite dish of Ipoh which is also a combination of chicken and 'hor fun'. But this time, it's mixed with some fat juicy prawns.
Credit to Kris from Ipoh.Forum'Kai See Hor Fun' (鸡丝河粉) is a combination of succulent shredded chicken, tasty hor fun and fresh and juicy prawns. Though using the similar main ingredient as in 'Nga Choi Kai', but is totally different from the former.

This shop is located right next to 'Kong Heng'. Some may think competition must be great here but the funny thing is it both shops are equally popular and crowded. This shop is dubbed the "Hall of Mirror". As you enter the shop, you will be greeted with a large mirror on the wall.
Mirror was a common gift in the olden days to a new kopitiam (restaurant). Probably it could be due to the Chinese belief that mirror can ward off evils, thus business will prosper without any hindrance. Haha. Never forget to try the shop's famous egg custard too.

I'd still say Thean Chun serves better Kai Si Hor Fun than Kong Heng.
imagine me working around Old Town, and breakfasts everyday include white coffee and all these goodies. :)
I'm quite agree with you, however people prefer to crowd Kong Heng due to more choices of foods there than Thean Chun.
It's just so hard to resist over all these good foods.
