I rate the atmosphere 5* bcos I love crowd. More the merrier. It proves that the food is edible and you hardly go wrong. However, this place is an exception.
Firstly, it is expensive for Ipoh standard. Rm10.10 for a normal/standard portion of their Kai-xi hor fun. The 10sen is for the take away bag. I accept that. I couldn't find a place to dine in at abt 830am, hence I opt for take away.
Happy to see such a busy place. They are thriving and the atmosphere is fantastic. As a tourist, what we want is something flavourful and authentically local and edible. We don't mind paying the extra but please offer us something acceptable in return.
I know taste is subjective. However this is ridiculously not up to Kai-xi hor fun standard. This kind of flavour made first timer traumatic. Very complicated flavour and correct me if I'm wrong, high in MSG. Just not right, my friend. If you ask me to rate, it is definitely below the one in Wing Fat Xiao Chao and Moon de Moon. It is just half a point above Loke Wooi Kee(I find it bland).
IMHO, a bowl of kaixi hor fun has to be clean in prawnly flavours (hor-fun, I'm not good at it and I find almost the same in every stall), chives a must to balance the flavour and the soup is thick with body but clean and balance. If everything is met as above, you get the oomph and wow factor. I found these flavours in Wing Fat Xiaochao (Kg. Pasir Pinji) kaixi hor fun. Moon de Moon is the one to go if you like lighter/clean version of Kaixi hor fun.
All the above are just my opinion during my visit to Ipoh in February 2024. I loved kaixi hor fun therefore, Ipoh is the place to go. Embark on a journey to try every kaixi hor fun in Ipoh and you'll find many surprises. Good day to all.

A typical Penang push cart prawn noodles. Not too heavy flavoured or bland. Just correct. Nothing special but delicious. Just opposite South Island Development Co. building. Recommended.
