When you are in Ipoh, you must try Funny Mountain …… that’s what I was told when I visited Ipoh.

For those of you from the North, looking for good food may be a breeze to you. But for us Central folks, it’s like looking for needle in a haystack. It’s a good thing that good foodies from Penang and Ipoh are never lacking too. I speak for myself when I say …. whenever I visit Penang or Ipoh, I must comb through some food blogs to make a “hit list”. That’s right …. what should I hit and where should I miss … on purpose.

When I first heard of Funny Mountain, it did came across my mind that this could be the name of a new theme park or hotel. Until I found out the full name, which is Funny Mountain Traditional Soya Bean and Tau Fu Fa.

Yup …. desserts.

And this is no ordinary dessert, I might say. Started back in the early 1950’s, it was said that the quality of their serving remain unchanged since the early days. Funny Mountain serves the smoothest Tau Fu Fa (Soybean Custard/Curd) in town. It’s so smooth that it slides down your throat one spoonful at a time. Before you know it, you are ordering your second serving.

But do bear in mind that Funny Mountain’s produce is well known all around Malaysia therefore when you decide to have the next one, they might be sold out.

There are 2 ways to savor the delicious, silky smooth Funny Mountain Tau Fu Fa. You can either drive-thru or eat in. For drive-thru, just stop your vehicle in front of the stall, signal a little and the workers will deliver your orders. Or better still, enjoy it fresh at the stall.

Specialties
Soya Bean milk (tau cheong sui). Smooth and thick; one glass is obviously not enough
Soyabean curd (tau fu fa). Try mixing it with soyabean milk or cincau
Cincau (lengkong). Try mixing with soyabean

Try to be creative in Funny Mountain such as mixing the stuffs from the menu. You never know what you might come up with.

Here’s some fusion tips
If you want to mix soyabean milk with soyabean curd, say “pak pak” (white and white). If you want to mix soyabean and cincau say “hak pak” (black and white). If you want to mix the three, just say, “sam yeong cham” (mix three types). This is to avoid confusion as they deal with many customers all the time.
