It isn’t easy to score a table at Ming Court Dim Sum in Ipoh; so much so I’ve given up in the past and settled for a less transcendent version across the road. By luck last weekend, we found ourselves sharing a table with another family. By 8.30am, there were…
Food in Ipoh
Moon De Moon Restaurant in Ipoh has received many, many raves about their delicious kai si hor fun over the years – apparently, it’s the go-to spot for a bowl of silky-smooth noodles in prawn and chicken broth, among the locals. I only paid this place a visit a couple…
Ipoh has always been one of my favourite destinations in Malaysia when it comes to food – a small but fast-emerging town that is often packed with tourists during weekends and long holidays. It is home to one of the best steamed chickens I’ve tried and smoothest hor fun you’ll…

It’s been a while since my last visit to Menglembu Wai Sek Kai and the honey chicken stall has since grown into a full shoplot. Unlike the chaos we went through for some chicken, there was hardly a queue this time around. I reckon it’s because we were there towards…
I learnt of this pretty good wantan mee stall in Buntong (Ipoh) from my brother in-law, who suggested we try it for dinner when rif and I were in Ipoh not too long ago. The stall is located in a residential area and gets quite crowded during peak hours –…
