Breakfast at Chooi Yue Dim Sum Ipoh · 9:00 AM

Maybe one of the best modern dim sum place in Ipoh. Queue is systematic and fast, service as good. Most of the dim sum are delicate and delicious, good quality.

Visit at Mirror Lake · 9:30 AM

A very simple and short nature attraction with cave, lake and lime stone mountain. Mirror Lake 2 (RM 25) is a boat ride through a tunnel to a lake. Mirror lake (RM 4) is a walking tunnel connected to another lake. There is a boat ride service around the lake as well.

Visit at Kek Look Tong · 2:00 PM

A giant cave temple, and a park with pond, and a very small space for boat and bicycle rental. The cave is huge, cooling with many statues for Chinese gods. The park is beautiful too, surrounded by lime stone mountain. Remember to buy fish food at the entrance to feed fishes at the park's pond.

Teatime at Shun Jie fried rice cake · 3:12 PM

The fried fritters here is really good, but the queues are also long wait even on weekday. There is a 3 layer item where you can have fried rice cake + yam + potato, this thing is heavenly amazing (no kidding from a person who don't even like fried rice cake). They will recommend add a bit of salt, it does make it tastier. Even the fried banana fritters are really good. Only available for take away, so we ate in the car while it is fresh.

Teatime at Chang Jiang White Coffee · 4:00 PM

Iced coffee (RM 4.90) is fancy and nice. Toast (RM 6) is good, with 2 thick toast (cut into 4). Half boiled egg is done perfectly. The Dry Wanton Noodle (RM 9.20) is harder than the KL version, and I suspect there are if the 竹星面 type. Despite being a touristy place, service is still good with good coffee and food. Price might be higher, but also comes with quality and good portions.

Dessert at Deen CT Corner Cendol · 5:19 PM

Affordable and nice Cendol with red bean and jagung (RM 4.50). Sit at street corridor only, it is a stall, not a shop.

Dinner at Best Hillview Cafe · 8:00 PM

This is a local food court, not a tourist places. Satay and Mee Mamak is pretty good, recommended.

Supper at Restoran Cowan Street Ayam Tauge & Koitiau · 10:21 PM

This is probably the best bean sprout chicken I have tasted. The chicken is really made to perfection: tender and tasty. The bean sprouts are crunchy, with a nice flavour of soy sauce and pepper. The horfun is nice as well. RM 37 for 2 person, plus 1 drink. Feels like the proprietors are getting old, but still do the best they could. The place closed by 10.30PM.
