The old Ipoh – Lumut 80km trunk road (now considerably widened but with around 30 awful speed throttling traffic light junctions! ) is dotted with nostalgic tiny outposts, along the flattened pot holed beautiful lakes wasteland reminiscent of the glorious heydays of tin mining Perak, Malaysia. They have their own distinctive communist culinary history & secrets tho.

On most days you will find some small roadside stalls selling the usual Malaysian snacks eg crackers,kuihs etc & in this particular instance, Pusing’s signature Chinese dumplings.

The assortment of glutinous rice in the usual triangular or rectangular leaf packets are filled with beans, walnuts, salted egg yolks plus meat & glorious fats!

There are a few different types & sizes, but make sure you ask for the ” less beans more meats” version which costs around RM3.50 each.

Goes very well with the famed Ipoh old town white coffee.
