The city also has an abundance of jungle topepd hills making it well known as the “Hill City”. In the early days Kinta Valley tin rush brought an influx of Chinese immigrants to Ipoh. Many made fortunes and built opulent town houses. You can admire these houses in the old town area, where the Indians are having a ‘Little India ‘of their own.The Chinese have created what is now, one of the Malaysia’s best-preserved Chinatowns, the Old Town. And, still the Ipoh coffee in Old Town is the best so far. Save praise for that coffee. (Info from http://www.heritage.com.my/ipoh/)
Pride of Ipohan – White Coffee..Sun Yuen Loong and Sun Yuen Foong’s one are more to the bitterly and sourly side..Nam Heong’s one are more to the milkier and sweeter side..It depends on your taste actually..I prefer Nam Heong’s one myself but patrons would opt for Sun Yuen Loong or Sun Yuen Foong because of the varieties of food stalls..
Raddish Cake and Popiah..Theres assortments of kueh caters to everyone at the lil stall infront..(RM1.20)
Indian style of Fried noodles in typical Malaysian fashion – with a dash of spice, a dose of hospitality and plenty of lip-smacking taste! (RM 2.50)
Toast with Swipes of Kaya and Butter..They sliced the bread into half, making it thinner and crunchier..None of those that I tried in KL beat this.. (RM0.70)
He seems happy with some little promo of his dad’s stalls..His sheepish smile cheer me up too..
Everyone is amazed by the LOW price and HIGH quality food in Ipoh..By the way, Ipoh people wouldn’t waste their money on COSTLY and LOUSY food..Call them picky or thrifty but it’s just our culture..

Shin Kee Beef Noodles Specialist. Operating hour from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm. We bear this in mind as we missed it during our first visit. We went there at 4 pm and of course theres no sight of the lady owner or smell of beef stew.
The noodles came with a bowl of soup with slices scallion, tripes and beef balls. The soup is so good that we left not even a drip of it behind. Small noodles RM 4 and Big one is RM 5.
Another two popular place that we heard of are Ngau Kee, Tingkat Tong Shin and Lai Foong just across the road from Shin Kee. Can anyone tell me which is the best? The best I had eaten is a little stall in Seremban wet market.
Shin Kee Beef Noodles Specialist, on Jalan Tun Tau Cheng Lock, about a half block from the entrance to Petaling Street.

We met up with KampungBoy’s aunt family for dinner at this place, HOPPY Restaurant which is originated from Johor Baru. It was started by a Chan family in the 1980s.Today, they have added three branches in SS2 in Petaling Jaya, Dataran Mentari in Sunway and Desa Aman in Kepong and four more in Johor.
Hoppy has become popular the past two decades due to its traditional recipes for making herbal roasted duck in three styles — Szechuan-style or with ginseng and dong guai (both Chinese herbs). (Information from Sun2Surf)
Apart from that, they are good in seafood and home cooked dishes. You can always see that this place is jammed pack with buses and buses of tourists if you dine in. A lil tips here, if you are on rush, just order the same dishes as the tourists.
Greens to balanced up the meaty fatty meal..
Char Siew..I prefer char siew with layers of fats and lean meat just like this
Herbal Roasted Duck.. Love the aroma of Tong Kwai..
Sambal Squid..Hmmmmm no wonder they are roasted duck specialist
Steamed fish with pounced ginger..No comment
Taufu with Crab Meat in Claypot..Good stuff and great eaten with white rice..
Recommendation: Their best dishes would be roasted duck pork and chicken. It will cost you less than RM 10 per person if you stick with that. Their home cooked dishes and seafood dishes are nothing to shout about.
