We choose to try curry chicken bread because it is the famous local food in Kampar. It is recommended by all of our seniors since we first came to Kampar.

Many people who pass by Kampar will walk in or take away the famous curry chicken bread. It is unique and tasty. Many visitors are purposely dropped by Kampar to enjoy the curry chicken bread here. There are several restaurants in Kampar serve curry chicken bread, however “Yau Kee” serves the most authentic curry chicken bread.

When it comes to the signature classic dish of Ipoh, the first image comes to mind is Ipoh’s bean sprouts chicken. Tourists and visitors usually flock to Lou Wong, but the more established and often overlooked Onn Kee Restaurant should not be ignored. There are two Onn Kee restaurants, one across from Lou Wong and the other next to it.

“Bean Sprouts Chicken” is the signature classic disc of Ipoh. It is hard to make a choice between “Lou Wong” and “Onn Kee” when people think about eating “bean sprouts chicken” in Ipoh. These two restaurants are well-known among not only the local residents as well as tourists. This time round, our group member who lives in Ipoh recommended us to try on “Onn Kee”.

Question 7: Evaluation of these businesses

7. Our group evaluation of these businesses-

(a)   Your group opinion and why you selected these two places

The two interesting, local and iconic foods that have been chosen by our group are Yau Kee Restaurant located in Kampar and Onn Kee Restaurant situated in Ipoh. Both of these shops are very famous to the locals. Thus, after a brief discussion, my group members and I decide to recommend these two places to the Malaysian online consumers including foreign tourists by providing some useful and relevant information to them.

The reasons for why we choose these two places are discussed as follow:

(i)                 Yau Kee Restaurant, Kampar

This restaurant is suggested by our senior who has tried their curry chicken bun before and satisfied with the taste. The members in my group are all come from different places such as Ipoh, Taiping, Gerik, Selangor and Sarawak, none of us is Kamparian. We all the way come to Kampar just to undertake our degree programme in Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Kampar. People like to say “No food, no life”, to make our university life more meaningful, definitely we will ask others to recommend the famous and delicious food in Kampar town for us in order to fill our stomach. Our senior has suggested this famous curry chicken bun quite a long time ago, but we are still unable to find a time to have a try on it. Hence, we take this precious opportunity to taste this chicken-curry-in-a-bun dish for our assignment purpose.

Furthermore, the other reason that causes us to select this place is that we have seen the links in Facebook that are shared by our friends such as “therakyatpost.com” with the title of “12 Must Eat Food in Kampar” and “daliulian.net” with the title of “Kampar Food”. When seeing others share the relevant links with the attractive titles and mouth-watering food photos, we tend to have a mind-set that we want to follow the trend and have a try too. Therefore, to be one of the followers, our group decide to go this restaurant to eat the well-known curry chicken bread and give some comments on the food for the local online consumers as well as foreign travellers.
