Almost everyone agrees the Bidor Pun Chun duck noodle is over-rated

I posted about my trip to Bidor Pun Chun duck noodle coffeeshop in Perak. I said the duck noodle is nothing special and the wantan mee is also so-so only.

Bidor duck noodles

I am surprised that other food bloggers also agree that the place is over rated. It is so popular and was packed with customers. Yet, all they offer is some lousy looking economy rice stall and a duck noodle stall. Plus some chicken biscuits. BTW, the chicken biscuit minus the lardy bits is not nice also. It is no longer crispy and oozing with lard. Just hard pieces of biscuits with strong flavour of red fermented bean cake (ang tau joo).

However, if you are a city boy, then, you may like the rustic feel of a small pekan like Bidor where people sell fruits like fresh guavas, jambu air and etc by the roadside. When I was there, they also sell rambutans. I thought it is not rambutan season at the moment?

Now, I am much smarter and will not believe food blogers 100%. Ten may write that the foods are so yummy, so nice, so sedap, so great but all I need is one to tell me the truth.

    aiya you out of towners, just ask Bidorians where’s the best food, (esp duck noddle) and they will point you to Restaurant Yik Chan in front of Bidor Supermarket next to the Bas Terminal - cheaper and alot more delicious - go where the locals eat lah :-)

    Please, when come to Bidor, DON’T EVER GO THERE!!!
    I am from Bidor and tell you, locals never go there. Food is so-so, yet price is darn expensive, customer service is bad too, and you get scolded for asking for tissue paper. =(
    There are other better restaurants that serve better food lah, so go ask the locals lah ;D
