Overall, the food at Tuck Kee did not disappoint and it was also very affordable. There was no 5-star service but the staff was attentive as much as they could, but once it reached peak hours, they were quite short-staffed.
The Yu Kong Hor (RM 10) really very delicious, smooth and tasty.
Though long queue, the turnover was fast and I have no complaints about their service for they are friendly and food was quick to be served.
The are reasons this place is famous: fast, affordable, simple, tasty, accessible (location and hours wise).
The price is on a steeper side considering it costs almost a dollar SGD but its still worth a try if you are in the area.
滑嫩嫩的豆腐花配上甜度刚刚好的糖浆, 一口一口在我嘴里玩着溜溜板的游戏, 一不小心就直接滑进我的喉咙里~ 整碗豆腐花下肚, 感觉似乎有点不过瘾~
The chicken had some bite like kampong chicken and was fairly fragrant. The taugeh was plump. The fishballs were qq and tasty, and the hor fun smooth and in a savoury clear broth. Not bad.
I personally will give this place a miss as chicken rice back home is one of our unofficial national dish and most stalls can beat this place hands down.
Beansprouts and Chicken. That is probably the major dish that people come to Ipoh to eat. If you come, you have to have it.
This place is famous for freshly made Kaya Puff. Comes at 9.30am or slightly earlier, as the queue build up pretty fast within minutes. Salted Egg Pastry with Chicken Floss also not bad.
Sin Eng Heong is very famous for its Kaya Puffs.
This shop in Ipoh sells all sorts of Cantonese pastries.
The tau huay was still a bit softer and silkier than that from Fujiwara, but a bit powdery. This for the taste and texture, Fujiwara for the ambience.
It is really an old school way of eating. If Ipoh is too far for you, you can check them out in their stall located in Maxwell Food Centre in Singapore.
place abit small, but for take away is no problem.
Tapau salted chicken for tonight. It is pretty alright, though one of the chicken not quite salted properly. The size suited for 3 person.
We brought one box of salted chicken RM21.00 which consists of one nicely cooked and packed whole chicken (free-range size). Once open the paper bag, you can smell the heavy fragrant aroma of the salted chicken and herb (dong gui), pick whichever part you like and just tear it off (easily) then enjoy – well this is our way of having salted chicken! 😉
Here's the location.
这一餐花了RM28, 算是有点小贵。 撇开价钱不说, 真要挑的话个人觉得胡椒粉用量稍微多了些, 芽菜的酱油也偏咸了。
Nevertheless, a very satisfied and happy meal!
Some days you don’t need anything fancy. The food won’t blow your mind, but it is tasty and priced fairly. Although I do feel that the dining room could be brighter, I was put at ease by the family restaurant feel of this place. The staff today at Vintage Coffee & Bread were polite, attentive and patient to obvious out-of-towners like us. If I lived in Ipoh, I would come back here to get my kaya on bread fix. With their unintimidating menu that mixes Hainanese with familiar western elements, I would say that this would be a good place for cautious tourists to try some classic kopitam fare… or completely wimp out and order a tuna sandwich, whatever.

Sponge cake with kaya or coconut egg jam, very nice and fragrant.
Konda Kondi Cafe is a place where you can get gluttonous food for a cheap price considering how much arrives on your plate. They go over the top, and you can never complain that they skimped on a certain ingredient. Some dishes need a little tweaking to be perfect, but you can’t beat the value. Konda Kondi is just shy of the level where I would be a regular if I lived in Ipoh, but I would consider coming back once in a blue moon… maybe on a day where I felt like gaining five pounds after one meal.
Affordable and nice Cendol with red bean and jagung (RM 4.50). Sit at street corridor only, it is a stall, not a shop.
A decent place and reasonably priced, Deen CT does give you a satisfying bowl to help you muster on some strength for the hot days.
山水豆腐花,不损怡保之名,顺滑爽口。豆腐水也不错,可是,就像我上面所说的,不可能会有什么新创新的。
Tasty Dessert! My friends ate this delicious tofufa with red bean, grass jelly, special sweet potatoes balls toppings in Ipoh
新扬威烤鸭(新街场旗舰店)Restoran SYW (Flagship) 的琵琶鸭外皮酥脆, 肉质甜美, 完全没有鸭骚味, 个人觉得非常好吃呢!
Restoran SYW is one of the few such shops that have air conditioning, making it relatively comfortable compared to many restaurants nearby.
Reasons to visit Atas Speakeasy Ipoh: craft cocktails; sustainability focus; sit at the bar and learn something new by chatting with the very knowledgeable bartender, Eugene; a reservations-only experience.
Overall, the staff were very attentive, bartender is really friendly who has a sense of humour.
Here comes our first bowl of Sansui Ta Fu Fa RM1.60 which features plain tau fu fa drizzled with lots of gula Melaka sauce (palm sugar). It has a very soft and silky texture, mild soya bean flavor, great enough to serve as an everyday treat (cost per bowl as dessert), but frankly, it doesn’t give us as much first impact as the Tau Fu Fa which we had in Woong Kee.
While you are here, don’t miss their ABC as well. I thought it was wonderful and nicely done, one of the best I have came across so far. And mind you, I have high standards when it comes to ABC.
The roast pork, BBQ Pork and BBQ ribs were OK. I would say the BBQ Pork ranked the best of the lot.
All of us like the taste of the sweet soy roasted chicken so we will be back as we have parking coupons left.
The tau huay was very soft and silky, set in a pandan syrup which was gentle and fragrant. Really nice tau huay, in an atmospheric cafe.
I felt the food had quite a bit of finesse despite the busy kopitiam setting. Service was friendly and efficient, and prices were reasonable.
Reasons to visit Jln Theatre Coffee Ipoh: one of the few speciality coffee cafes in Ipoh; calming, minimalist setting; must try the Black Fudge Brownie.
Both the Chicken Chop and Pork Chop comes in a Tomato based gravy and with some onions, peas and fried potatoes. The meat cut was huge for both and the price of RM 12 was definitely cheap. The meat was very tender and both were coated in eggs. The flavours were generally quite light and that's good as the sauce did not overpower the natural flavours of the meat. Definitely a place that is worth visiting for Hainanese food when you're in Ipoh.
Verdict: Honestly this place certainly make it to the best Hainanese chops I’ve eaten but if you bored of the usual Ipoh food such as Bean Sprout Chicken, Curry Laksa, and so on, you may give this a try.
If you have not come across Purple Cane before, it is a tea house established in the year 1987, with wide range of teas, brewing utensils as well as tea related ...
