Restoran Zui Le Xuan 聚乐轩点心楼 is one of the nice places in town that provide a dim sum for early birds. This place is nice, cozy, and airy for dim sum. The place is not too crowded and the varieties of dim sum are complete with reasonable pricing too. Serving with classic and fusion types of dim sum, this is the place for family and most importantly the ingredients are fresh.
Steamed glutinous rice or loh mai kai.
Dumplings I wanted "siew mai" and "har gao"
Everything was good except that it was a bit too salty for us and the beef was tough. Next time, I must remember to pick pork or chicken and also to request for it to be less salty.
Here's the location.
I enjoyed this bowl of lor mee because the gravy is not too thick. The boss knows that I prefer noodle.
When we asked Ipoh locals for Cantonese roasts recommendations, most folks pointed us to Chee Kong at First Kwong Chow in Taman Pertama.
Hubby ordered the Hakka noodle with radish pork leg. Hubby and I shared this breakfast set (RM5.80 only).
As for me, I ordered the above pork leg stewed with daikon. Love this flavourful and tasty noodle served with hot peppery plain clear soup.
On and off, we will have breakfast at Restoran Kee Tuck Seak because hubby likes to eat the wat tan hor or the flat rice noodle with thick egg + cornflour gravy.
We ordered a bowl of beef soup and some fried items. A bowl of flat rice noodle in clear soup, stuffed tofu and meat balls. This was our breakfast for 2 people.
Overall, it was a perfect breakfast for us. Foods are delicious as usual. I miss having this type of breakfast, it's quite difficult to find this type of food for breakfast in Petaling Jaya. Such a pity!!!
For 4 people, we ordered 3 bowls of Fish Noodles (rice vermicelli) with wine added. Hubby and I shared a bowl of noodle.
After morning walk at the lake park, we took our friends to Restoran Huan Le for fish noodles and fried noodle.
We ordered a bowl of rice vermicelli in clear soup, 2 stuffed tofu, some fish balls and meat balls to share.
The white coffee was smooth and tasted like mocha. The hor fun was really silky and the broth prawny and savoury – as good as I remembered it to be.
The Caramel Custard served in Restaurant Thean Chun tastes so good with the perfect combination of the egg, milk and caramel.
The Custard here is probably one of the best or maybe the best in Ipoh city.
This shop remains one of the most popular tourist restaurants in Ipoh. The place is probably too small and too crowded. We didn't dine here, just tapau their egg tart (RM 2.60) and chicken bun..
Nothing beats the Iced Ipoh White Coffee RM2.80 with an aromatic taste of coffee bean, feels even more smooth after ice melts a little bit, goes superb well with Nam Heong egg tart.
Kedai Makanan Nam Heong has several more stalls that sell various hawker dishes, but we have yet to taste any of them.
This is a very local dim sum place, and very popular with the locals here. The dim sum is more rough and old school, hit and miss. You can feel the vibe of a traditional dim sum place. RM 45.40 for..
Restoran Sun Kim Aik, one of the hidden gems in Ipoh. This restaurant only known for local for delightful and classic dim sum.
My favourites were the fried dumplings and the charsiewbao, which as nice and fluffy. Everything else was fresh and tasty, but I can’t say it’s the best dimsum I’ve ever had. Maybe because I’m used to the dimsum I always have in my native Puchong.
The grilled fish was this halibut, nicely done with crispy skin and as expected of a white fish the flesh was tender and had hardly any fat. Overall a good dish, except for the mash potato which was rather soft.
The Crab fried rice had a simple presentation but surprised everyone with its astonishing depth of flavour and wok hei (breath of the wok) – something that can only be achieved by cooking the ingredients over high heat, sealing in all the flavours. It boasted just the right amount of seasoning – not too bland nor salty – and the sambal chilli sauce gave it a spicy kick.
We were recommended to try Chicken Maryland, an off-menu item that his portion could cater for 2 person. The dish is flawless in execution - nicely deep fried chicken breast of generous portion, served along with sausage, ham piece, wedges, French fries and salad. Nevertheless, I would not say it was mind-boggling as well. It weighed as a simple yet nice comfort food that I would glad to enjoy.
Kaya Butter Toast (RM 4.80) Since I am looking for some light bites, I ordered their toast bread which comes awesomely good. The toast bread all beautifully toast till perfection and with the light crust. The bread is spread with kaya at one side and Margerine at the other side. Nice.
For those who loves rice and dry curry meat, this will be a good choice.
Curry noodle @ RM 10.80 The red oil gave the impression that it was very spicy. It was not very spicy because my friend, who can't take too spicy food, enjoyed the curry very much. This is one of the best curry noodle we have tasted.
Sun Yuan Foong (famous for Chee Cheong Fun) and Sin Yoon Long (famous for Wantan Mee) next door are "friendly", so you can order food from both shop. This shop is just opposite the super famous Nam..
Sun Yuan Foong is traditional coffee shop in Ipoh Old Town. This coffee shop has been serving aromatic, rich and creamy white coffee for decades. Beside the coffee, a few of delicacies here are good too. To find out more details, please watch this video.
Just look at the jiggly goodness of those soft boiled eggs on top of the toast! This is another one of Ipoh’s famous dishes, as I have never seen eggs on toast like this anywhere else in Malaysia. You sprinkle a bit of pepper/soy sauce on top, break the eggs and watch as the yolk oozes all over the crunchy, buttered toast. Few things in life bring as much pleasure as this hmm The sausages were fat and juicy, and pretty sizable as well.
So yes, I'd totally recommend this place. No wonder everyone loves it here.
他们不在这里供应普通的蛋糕/甜点;共同拥有者妮可非常热衷于糕点和甜点。
Patisserie Boutique is a fresh entry on the row that now contains what looks like the highest concentration of hipster cafĂŠs in Ipoh's Old Town; it tries to bring a ...
Prawn Mantis with Chilli Salt (RM21) The prawn mantis was not bad. quite tasty but again the big portion made the price worthwhile.
Once you reach Kafe Yoon Wah, first, you wouldn’t want to miss having their famous icy snow beers priced at RM20.00 each, you can order with the waiter or directly with the beer girls (faster-serving speed) constantly lingering around the restaurant. Once the beer being poured into the cup, the foam immediately crystallizes and become icy (like smoothies), from here onwards, you will need to consume asap so that you can get the best out of it, superb delicious, chilling and refreshing! 😉
I was here the Jalan Bijeh Timah and accidentally dropped to seat opposite 新元华 "Sun Yoon Wah", this one I am having supper and the snow beer is called 元华 "Yoon Wah" and the Beer lady said one is the father and the other is the son's cafe!
Verdict: If you’re bored of the usual must-eat food such as Dim Sum, curry noodles, bean sprout chicken rice and etc at Ipoh, cafe hopping is a good alternative too!
Waiters were very polite. You just feel very much relax there. Food is awesome.
I enjoyed the QQ and taste fresh parang fish balls.
Our friend recommended the sang har meen here, aka the freshwater prawn noodle. I was surprised to see on the menu, a few different cooking styles to choose from - we were unsure which one to go for and the wait staff recommended Cantonese style to us.
Since the promotion is still on, we decided to have dinner there last Friday. We ordered the following dishes for 4 people.
The food was tasty and good and the price was reasonable.
