I’ve been hankering for a good bowl of curry laksa of late and decided to settle for one of my reader’s suggestion – Kafe Ipoh Ipoh in SS2. According to her, the food is “as good as Ipoh” so Jien and I paid them a visit to see if that…
Ipoh Food
Ipoh and cendol are two things I don’t associate together, unlike Ipoh and dim sum or Ipoh and nga choy kai. But my good friend told me about this really amazing cendol stall called Cendol Mari Gunung Rapat that her father often patronizes – and that I should really give…
Eating poached/steamed chicken in Ipoh is a must for Jien and I – because it tastes more superior that what you can get in KL, I feel. Some of my followers told me to try Sam Ma Chicken Rice, citing it to be a local’s favourite when it comes to…
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…

Ipoh pitstops are a must whenever Jien and I are travelling up north – there’s something about the aroma of white coffee that gets the mood up. We were looking for a place to stop for coffee on our way back from Penang last weekend, and I remember bookmarking Lim…
Chong Say Kee in Bercham, Ipoh is known for its roast duck, char siew and siew yuk – a recommendation by an Ipoh local. Since Jien and I were in midst of exploring for new food options in Ipoh, we gave this a try. The restaurant isn’t overly crowded but…
Medan Selera Stadium in Ipoh has a variety of stalls offering local favourites such as yong tau fu, beef noodles, char kuay teow and curry noodles. It’s been around for many years and the locals seem to like going there for reasonably priced hawker food. I was there for a…
Ipoh is known for its beansprouts chicken (among other food items) and the locals will often tell you to skip the touristy places because it doesn’t do justice to the real deal. Cowan Street Ayam Tauge & Koitiau came highly recommended but I never got the chance to try it…
