Yesterday, Truly a wonderful evening .kualalumpur

Had the pleasure of spending time with my good friend, Mr. Chan (Owner of HK Roasted Goose King, Pavilion Damansara), together with the ever-popular Halo Halo Keanu.

It was also my very first omakase experience.

One word to describe it — amazing.

What impressed me most was not only the quality of the seafood, but the craftsmanship behind every single piece served. These ingredients travel thousands of miles by air before reaching Malaysia, yet they arrive on the plate with remarkable freshness. That itself is already an achievement. To then preserve, handle, prepare, and present them at their best requires an entirely different level of skill, discipline, and respect for the ingredient.

Watching the chef work was like watching a craftsman at his bench. Every cut had a purpose. Every slice carried precision. The temperature, texture, timing, and seasoning were all carefully considered. Nothing felt rushed, and nothing felt excessive. The chef allowed the ingredients to speak for themselves.

I have enjoyed Otoro on several occasions before, but this was undoubtedly the best I have ever tasted. Rich, delicate, buttery, and beautifully balanced — a reminder that great food is often the result of countless unseen hours of dedication and mastery.

Tonight was more than just a meal. It was an appreciation of craftsmanship, patience, and the pursuit of excellence in its purest form.

P/S : This day reminded me, I still got so much to learn .. Special Thanks to Kazu san..

New menu, same old price

On 16 April, I made a promise ..
“I WILL HOLD”

The road ahead may be uncertain.
Some are concerned about what June and July may bring.
Some have already made adjustments.
As for me, I choose to hold.
Not because the challenges are small,
but because every bowl, every plate, and every customer who walks through our door carries a trust that is hard-earned.
So for now, we will continue to do our best,
serving with the same care,
keeping the same standards,
and holding on to the price we promised.
No grand words. No bold claims.
Just a simple promise from a small operator:
As long as we can, we will hold.
For the families who support us,
for the regulars who return week after week,
and for everyone who chooses to share a meal with us.

That is our way of saying thank you. 🌿

DICIPLINE .....

Cooking one good bowl is talent.
Cooking thousands of good bowls... that is discipline.
Over the years, I've had conversations with many people in F&B.
Some feel staff uniforms are not important. Some see them as an unnecessary expense.
I respect different views.
But personally, I have always felt that a uniform is more than just a piece of clothing.
It is often the first lesson in discipline.
A clean uniform shows care. A well-kept uniform shows responsibility. A neatly worn uniform shows respect — for the job, for colleagues, and for customers.
Of course, nobody is perfect. All of us have rushed mornings and busy days.
But small habits often reveal bigger values.
I have learned that the way a person takes care of the little things often reflects how they will handle the bigger things.
The uniform itself is not important.
What is important is the attitude behind it.
Because discipline rarely starts with big achievements.
More often, it begins with small things repeated consistently, day after day.
Just like a good bowl of KSHF.
Not built in one day, but through countless days of doing the simple things properly.

Si Tao Poh got herself a new little helper today.
Leading the queue, shouting out numbers, guiding customers to their seats, saying “welcome” and “thank you” with all her heart.

To many people, these may look like very small things.
But to me, every small step takes courage… and training.
Sometimes, we need to let them slowly taste the real world.

Watching her today reminded me of my own childhood.
Back when I was still in primary school, my parents were rubber tappers.
During school holidays, I would wake up at 3am, while my eyes could barely stay open.
I still remember sitting behind my father on his Yamaha 80, hugging his waist tightly in the cold dark morning, on the way heading to his rubber estate.
My father would hold my hand firmly with one hand, while steering with the other.
He was afraid… too afraid that I would fall asleep again behind him and slip off the bike.
That memory still feels like yesterday.
And now, it is my turn to pass this spirit on to her.
A strong character is never something we are simply born with.
It is trained, polished, shaped by little experiences, little responsibilities, and sometimes… a gentle push from the people who love us.

No matter how much AI changes the world in the future, a strong character will always remain essential.
Because technology may make life easier,
but courage, discipline, kindness and responsibility…
those are still built by human hearts.

What you are looking at is a fresh plate of Ipoh Hor Fun, made to the standard we quietly hold close to our hearts.

A good Hor Fun has a life of its own.
Even when lifted a foot high, it should not break so easily.

One day, Si Tao Poh — a true KL girl — asked me,
“Why is it that sometimes when I eat Hor Fun outside, it breaks into small pieces the moment I pick it up with chopsticks?”

I told her this:
Assuming the rice flour is right, the reason is often freshness.
When Hor Fun sits too long, it slowly dries.
And once it dries, after cooking — especially when strained and shaken — it breaks apart so easily.
To many, the difference may be hard to notice.
It still looks smooth enough.
But a truly fresh Ipoh Hor Fun should glide softly through your mouth, silky and smooth, with that gentle little chew at the end.
Your tongue will know.
It always knows.

So I said to Si Tao Poh,
“Now you know why I insist on dealing directly with the factory instead of going through delivery agents.
Now you know why every week, you will see me quietly throwing away Hor Fun that is no longer fresh enough.”
It pains me every time.
But some things cannot be compromised.

Recently, a few of our regulars smiled and said,
“Wei… your Hor Fun feels different now. Even better.”
Three weeks ago, I made a trip back to Ipoh to meet the factory boss personally,
and I placed one strict request before him.
Because details, though often unseen,
make the biggest difference.
And sometimes, 用心 is simply this;
caring enough to notice what others may not.

To my mom,
to my wife,
and to all the loving mothers around the world…
Thank you for the quiet sacrifices no one sees.
For the sleepless nights,
the endless worries,
the gentle hands that hold a family together.
A mother’s love is rarely loud,
but it becomes the warmth of a home,
the strength behind every child,
and the heart behind every family.
As I grow older,
I begin to understand that behind every strong person,
there was once a mother standing quietly in the background,
using her whole heart — 用心 — to love and protect.
To my mom, thank you for raising me with patience and love.
To my wife, thank you for carrying so much with grace every single day.
And to all mothers…
thank you for being the light that never asks for recognition,
yet brightens the lives of everyone around you.
Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

Today, Ipoh Ipoh turns 6 years old.
I still remember 7th of May 2020. During the lockdown MCO 1. Where the news spoke the rising cases everyday, but it only felt real when my shop shutter is up at 8am. And I saw everything is so quiet. SS2 Chow Yang felt so empty. Like the world had paused.
In those first few months, sales were so low. Some days, even rent felt uncertain. All I had was a simple voice inside me.
HANG ON and HANG ON ....
Doing what I could, with what I had.
Keeping operation cost as low as possible. I washed plate. I mopped the floor. I cleaned the toilet. Throwing in everything I have just for one goal , "SURVIVE" ...
I was lucky. My staff stayed and believed in me. Some suppliers gave me time. Because of them, I kept going. Things slowly got better, then even harder again. Followed by MCO 2 and MCO 3. Almost 2 years of not letting go.
There were a lots of heavy moments. But I kept the same words closely to myself.
HANG ON and HANG ON....

I always say 用心, 用心,在用心。
meaning "with heart."
To me, it simply mean,
Listen with your heart,
See with your heart,
Learn with your heart and
get things done with your heart.
This is how I started. This is how I continue.

And today, I just want to say thank you to my families, my friends and all my regulars.
Because of you, Ipoh Ipoh is still here.
Thank you and Thank you.

Happy 6th Anniversary to Ipoh Ipoh ....

For the past 2 weeks, ever since MFT posted about my Sri Petaling branch… my sisters have been non-stop 😅
They said they’ve been working until “lat kuat” — which basically means not just tired… but deeply, spiritually exhausted.
Every day feels like a marathon… except there’s no finish line, just more orders waiting.
Then somehow, I think the universe heard them (or maybe the complaints got a bit too loud 🤭)… and suddenly Master Chris Leong appeared like the hero in a drama.
Calm, composed, and right on time to rescue them.
A true blessing… because honestly, another few days like this, and I think my sisters might have officially gone on strike already 😂
