We came around 7.30am, so there was no crowd and park just in front. The dry curry noodle with chicken is the specialty, nice thick curry. The soup curry is nice too, but the thick curry sauce got diluted. RM 29.20 for two curry noodle and one coffee.

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 6 plates of Dim Sum, plus tea. As a tourist, I prefer the more refined Chooi Yue Dim Sum.

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.

This shop sells surprisingly good taro chiffon cake, still nice after kept in fridge for a few days.

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 Heong. Iced coffee (RM 2.40) is nice. CCF with pork skin (RM 6) is good. They also sell some kuih.

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 (2.80). Queue time around 15 minutes. Not too sweet, good size and tastes pretty good. We only ate it when back in KL, so it would be advisable to taste a bite while it is still fresh. There is a mochi stall in front of the shop.

Love this street more than concubine lane, with less crowd, less commercial and more art.

Super crowded and filled with commercial activies on a narrow lane.

Came here for photoshoot with old trees and alley.

One of most touristy old school kopitiam in Ipoh, where very old uncles operate most of the stalls. Kaisi Horfun + Taugeh (RM 13) is pretty good, live up to its Ipoh fame. Coffee (RM 2.30) is good.

Tapau salted chicken for tonight. It is pretty alright, though one of the chicken not quite salted properly. The size suited for 3 person.
