Come at lunch with less crowd. It has some affordable lunch from RM 7.90 to RM 15+. The Curry here is really flavourful, one if my favorite place for affordable Indian food. We love the Masala tea here.

My mom favorite porridge place: simple, tasty and affordable.

Worth a try if you fancy Japanese yakitori, some hit and misses.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The noodle and stuffed ingredients are really delicious. Hard to explain why such simple food are really nice. RM 17.70 for 2 bowl with ingredients. The rose coffee (RM 4) a bit fancy, but still good and worth trying.

If you like old buildings, or abandoned buildings, or small town historic buildings, Papan is the perfect place. Istana Raja Billah, a historic mansions with interesting architecture. You have quite a few abandoned shop houses over takan by nature and bayan trees. Artistic installation by locals. If you enjoy these, allocate at least half a day.

Our room no 1 is very spacious, big bathtub and free water dispenser in the room. It feels very comfortable. The location is pretty central, yet with parkings. Free breakfast provided, it is okay, but too much temptation with Ipoh good around. Nasi Ganja and Wong Kee Tau Fu Fa is just nearby.

The Yu Kong Hor (RM 10) really very delicious, smooth and tasty.

The are reasons this place is famous: fast, affordable, simple, tasty, accessible (location and hours wise).

Bought some biscuits due to its convenient location.

We have the RM 168 four course menu. The Tuna starter was excellent, nice texture and taste, nicely seared. The soup is okay, mushroom probably better than the broccoli soup. As for the main, the lamb is probably not soft enough, and taste wise not to my expectations. The prawn is nice, but maybe slightly overcooked. The lemon tart is quite sourish, and the coconut ice cream is huge. Overall quite affordable, with room for improvement for the mains. Also dining for couple could turn noisy when there is a huge party, as it is open area seating. Service is good.

The dim sum here is definitely different from the ones in KL or Ipoh, it is sort of like small town flavour. If you are an adventurous foodie, you should give it a try. The shop has an old kampung nostalgic vibe to it. The Loh Mai Gai has a strong peanut flavour, and the fish ball is super firm. Siew Mai is mixed with turnip so it is crunchier, and Sang Yok Bao has an egg inside with a special sauce. Even the chilli sauce tasted different. The coffee also taste local. RM 20 for all these.

The Cendol has a thick layer of syrup presentation, which then you can dilute it with the ice. The highlight would be the fragrance of the syrup. Cendol Biasa (RM 3)

Decent Mee Rebus, Curry Noodle and Coffee. RM 14.50

A children's playground park by the river. There is a tower which provides a good view of the river. Some locals take an afternoon nap here.

A tiny temple by the riverside.

Lo Han Kuo (RM 5) is perfect on a hot weather day, not too sweet and comes with jelly made of luo han guo. Rojak (RM 7) is good as well, thick sauce.

One of the best Chinese Fried Donut I have in a while: fresh, crispy, flavourful with good ingredients. Yau Zha Guai very crispy on the outside, soft inside. Ham Chim Peng very flavourful, and red bean has good amount of red bean.

Bought some Heong Peah and Tau Sa Piah.

Go for the sunset river cruise (RM 30) with a visit to Pulau Bangau to watch thousands of migratory birds. A must do in Teluk Intan, absolutely worth it.

Wonderful place for local seafood. The medium size big head prawn is about RM 10 each, fresh meat and fragrant soy sauce. The Kum Heong Crab (big size one RM 90 per kg, each about 500-600g) is sufficiently meaty and fresh, and I quite like the sauce. The uncle who takes orders is very nice, giving good suggestion and doesn't upsell (trustworthy). Cooking is not fast though, even on a weekday. Too many other dishes we wish to try, but only 2 of us.

Come at night, not hot and with a light show, with some food trucks and vendors selling bubble soap. 夜里的斜塔【安顺】 晚上来看亮灯的安顺斜塔，气温舒适，灯光迷人，还有一些小吃车和卖泡泡肥皂的摊贩。

Really love the vibe of this midnight supper road side stall. I enjoy the charcoal Fried Kway Teow, tasty and soft.

Lunch with Claypot Lou Shu Fun (RM 8.50) is smooth, flavourful and pipping hot. The fish paste, meat ball and fujuk is so so. Hot Coffee (RM 2.60) is ok. PS: the Fish Head Noodle almost sell out by 12.30pm

Sarawak Laksa (RM 13.90) is really thick and flavourful. Kolo Mee (RM 9.90) has a nice springy texture and nice taste, and the BBQ meat is decent. 在Puchong的砂拉越美食【爱-茶室】 砂拉越叻沙（RM 13.90）真的很浓很香。 砂拉越干捞面（RM 9.90）口感弹牙，味道不错，烧烤肉也不错。

Plain Nasi Lemak (RM 7.90) is pretty good. Fragrant rice, crispy peanut and ikan bilis, even the egg tastes good. Love it. White Coffee (RM 4.50) is not sweet, slightly bitter with burnt aroma. Enjoy the flavor. Kaya Butter Toast (RM 4.50) is krispy and soft, and the kaya is not sweet. Nice.

Ice Coffee (RM 3) slightly expensive, but it is pretty good. Prawn Noodle (RM 9) is very flavourful, slight spicy with good portion. Fried Turnip Cake (RM 8.50) is nice as well, with good chunks of turnip and egg.

A hidden cafe hidden in a marble factory and sales office. The food quality is good, but it also comes with higher price tag. The furniture here are some nice hard wood, which serve as a showroom and available for sale. It also has many interesting indoor plants. Plenty to explore here. Cappuccino (RM 11.90) is thick and big cup. Avocado Cake (RM 18.90) is surprising very good. Nice taste with some sort of pudding and jelly texture, and soft biscuit base. Peach Almond Sourdough Pastry (RM 12.50) is crispy and tasty as well.

Hakka Noodle (RM 7.50) comes in big portion. I like the texture and springy noodles, but the sauce is slightly sweet. The meat and wonton is alright. Coffee (RM 2.60) is good, slightly bitter. Puchong实惠好吃的客家面【2323】 客家面（RM 7.50）分量蛮大的，喜欢面条的口感与弹性，爽。酱汁稍微有点甜，肉和馄饨也可以。 咖啡（RM 2.60）不错，稍微带苦。
