A Day in Ipoh — “Ini Pekan Orang Handsome”

Ipoh, a charming town in Perak, is just about a 2.5-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. Along the way, you’ll enjoy beautiful scenery surrounded by lush mountains. Alternatively, take the train for a different but equally stunning view of the countryside. Start your journey at Concubine Lane, one of Ipoh’s most famous streets. Wander through the narrow lanes filled with heritage buildings, souvenir shops, and local delights like white coffee and traditional biscuits. The murals and old walls make it a perfect spot for photos too! For food lovers, Restoran Sin Lean Lee serves delicious beef noodles — whether dry or in soup, the beef is tender and flavorful. Don’t miss their smooth caramel egg custard. Next, drop by Nam Heong Coffee Shop, the birthplace of Ipoh White Coffee. Enjoy a cup of frothy aromatic kopi with egg tarts, roti bakar, and dim sum. At night, visit Restoran Kamwan Aneka Selera, a lively food court offering rojak, BBQ chicken wings, seafood, and ice kacang. End your trip sweetly with Wong Kee BeanCurd for silky tau fu fa, or Restaurant Choong Kee Pokok Besar for famous yong tau fu and the refreshing “Ice Kacang Puppy Love.” #ipoh #perak #malaysiatravel #tripcom #concubinelane #ipohfoodie #whitecoffee #namheong #yongtaufu #taufufa #foodiejourney #travelmalaysia #hiddengem #eatpraytravel #ipohtrip#familytravel #couplestrip #staycation #jomtrip
