New Sentosa @ Ipoh

This is not the Sentosa at Singapore. Found it not too long ago, located at about 5mins from the south exit of Ipoh on North-South Highway. The exit that adjacent to the McDonald, or more unique landmark, JayaJusco. If you missed the highway exit, you will see the toll plaza if you're southbound :( The shop is at the corner of a shoplot at Ipoh Garden South.
Have a couple of good food at this coffee shop; 猪肠粉(chee cheong fen), 及第粉(gap dai fen), 炒猓条(char keow teow), 云吞(wonton) &面 (mee)-cna just order the云吞, (炸)料 for 汤粉noodle soup. Drinks? I love its white coffee, hot - "thick" enough...for those who likes cold drinks...still can order the ice version.  
To start with, if you are alone; order a 云吞面(wonton noodle) either prawn / pork version or just mixed. Watch out, the skin of the wonton is so thin and smooth (almost see thru) but yet you will not be "breaking" it when pick it up from the soup - hey, must order the soup version...dry one is for amateur. Finished the noodle too fast, sorry, no picture of the noodle :( 
Then go for the 猪肠粉(chee cheong fen), order the mixed叉烧(char shao) and虾(prawn), it's hong kong 猪肠粉(chee cheong fen), therefore, can mix too. The chili is in another small plate, and can add more of the deep fried minced (little) onion using the spoon on the top. Yes, it's smooth, freakin smooth, almost as good as the one at stadium. Now, two dishes plus a drink, perhaps?
Can go for the 及第粉(gap dai fen)...maybe I just miss this so much, it was so good...the 锅气and also the fried oil on the 河粉(ho fen) smells great can almost tast the wok (if you know what I meant)... well, the rest...it's up to your stomach capacity.
Good location and good food, one stop place to cover many so you don't have to drive around at Ipoh if you are in a rush...many of the good food open at different time...need a 12hr to go to most of them, and this one open at 7 or maybe 6:30 in the morning...yeah!!! by the way, this is not a replacement for the legendary food places - it's just an alternative.
Note: the proper way to order "iced-latte" is "kopi雪"not kopi-ping as in Hokkien speaking region. Ipoh is Cantonese speaking region.
