Who’d knew this trip back to Ipoh, I’d end up in Menglembu for supper.
Menglembu (or as locals pronounce it, “Meng-ge-lembu”) is famous for many things, including peanuts. Now you can add ‘fried chicken’ to the list.
The stall is somewhere in town, just ask around where good stalls are (someone brought me there).
I think this one is called Jalan Tranchell.
At a busy road corner, you’ll see the stall just next to a DVD shop. The sign says that in two weeks time, they’ll be moving to a proper shop just a few doors away.
What do they sell? Delicious fried chicken, and honey roasted chicken. And lots of other lip-smacking (and unhealthy) goodness like french fries and fried chicken skin.
We tar pau-ed some fried chicken drumsticks and two pieces of honey roasted chicken.
Gotta say, best fried chicken ever. Sure beats all those pasar malam ones you get here where they have thick batter on the skin.

Yes, now that Wonderful has their own shop, should be doing even better business.
The honey chicken is the famous one from this stall.
I do agree that this type of fried chicken, from a homemade batter, is miles better than the commercial ones.

hi claire, although the honey chicken is the famous one, you should try the fried chicken!
j2kfm – definitely the best i tasted. the ones we have in klang valley have thick batter and not as tasty.

have visited their newly relocated shop (just along Wai Sek Kai with largest signboard), very clean environment and dine-in is available… the honey chicken is still the best and complimented with their home-made herbal drink is a wonderful pair indeed!
