Purple Cane Tea Restaurant

One of the restaurants that I really love going to is Purple Cane Tea Restaurant. Purple Cane has outlets in the Klang valley and Ipoh. I used to love going to the Purple Cane Tea House in Ipoh when I was 16 and 17 years old with my classmates after school. Those days, we loved ordering the stir fried longevity noodles and the ham+cheese toast. We enjoyed the food, the ambience, the tea and chatting there. We could spend hours there sipping tea and talked nonsense, particularly about BOYS and bitching hahaha! 2 decades on, I still love going to the Purple Cane restaurants for lunch and dinner. The dishes are all uniquely cooked with tea leaves.


Deep fried salad prawns...



Steamed smooth tofu with tea leaves and deep fried shrimps....




Steamed eggs with Chinese wolfberries (gei chee), tea and tea leaves. I find this dish very unique.






Deep fried chicken with garlic and stir fried 3-beans (stinky beans aka petai, long beans and four-angle beans) with preserved veggie and tea leaves...



Machi (glutinous rice flour bags stuffed with black sesame paste). iLike this!



Stir-fried vermicelli with seafood.

I would rate the food 9/10. The food is low in MSG yet tasty. Price is reasonable too.

I went to the one in Shaw Parade before; it's often our company's "CNY sau gong" dining choice.

Your bitching location is so healthy! Ours was at McDonald's, where we went "high" with coke!

I used to go to a tea house located at Hugh Low Street when I was in secondary school. Could not remember what it was called. We have recently found out that Purple Cane Tea House has opened a new branch in Ipoh at the old Foh San Dim Sum Restaurant. The environment looks good (from blogger picture - Motormouth/j2kfm). You may want to visit this place when you come back to hometown.
