怡保鸡丝河粉 (Ipoh Shredded Chicken Noodles)

怡保鸡丝河粉，一道男女老幼都喜欢的小品。

当年住在怡保时，还不懂欣赏它的美味。

搬离怡保，开始明白思念总在分手后，

对怡保鸡丝河粉，莫名其妙的爱上了。 
The Ipoh Shredded Chicken Noodles is a dish loved by all. Back when I lived in Ipoh, I didn't appreciate it. But now that I've moved away, it seems I've started falling in love with it!

还己爱不罢，影响2父女，跟我一起到处觅好食的鸡丝河粉。

可惜雪隆一带，始终没遇上。

每回思念时，只能从返故乡解口欲，那得1,2个小时的车程呢！
Under my influence, my family and I went on a Ipoh Shredded Chicken Noodles hunt. Sadly, I couldn't find any stalls that sold them as good as the original, which is a couple of hours' journey away!

Thanks to Jane and Sharon, it has finally made an appearance in my kitchen! Finally, we can enjoy the deliciousness of the dish without the hassle of traveling.

还有炸葱头仔和韭菜的加持，
