Ipoh horfun in Ipoh, it’s gotta be the best here - soft, smooth and silky. The broth in this bowl is lighter than the broth in the prawn mee, but not any less flavorful. A must try for sure.
The high tea set here (don’t you just love the name - Tiers of Joy) is probably one of the more affordable ones around, priced at 50++ for two pax, with unlimited services of coffee and TWG tea (pre-brewed). For non-caffeine drinkers like me, their theine-free options are chamomile and vanilla rooibos. Ambience is nice too, with natural light coming through the tall glass windows in the afternoon. Be sure to book ahead if you plan to visit!
Good but I feel that it’s a tad pricey, at $2.5 a piece. Would be nicer if they added some prawns too.

Nam Heong is a must visit in Ipoh and has really good Malaysian hawker food. This bowl of prawn mee is better than any prawn mee I’ve had in Singapore. The broth packs a punch of prawn-y flavors, but it doesn’t get too heavy at all as the crunchy bean sprouts and the veggies keeps it refreshing.
Creamy mushrooms on sourdough ($14) with scrambled eggs (+3) and Italian sausages (+3). In the background is the Low and slow pulled pork ($20). Both items were delicious and flavorful. This is a great place to visit for a hearty breakfast, especially for the early risers since they open at 8am. Their iced chocolate (with a scoop of ice cream on top!) was also one of the better iced chocolates I’ve had.
Finally trying out the super hyped Sushiro! We arrived at about 11.15am on a Sunday and were the first in line. The queue built up very quickly behind us so you really gotta be early! The mount chirashi priced at 28 really is a mountain but the rice underneath the fish was a mountain too 🌚 nonetheless the generous pieces of raw fish were seasoned well and it was an enjoyable bowl. The sushi were really good too.
We ordered the platter for 4 pax (98++), which had a whole pork knuckle, ribs, a variety of sausages and 2 sides. If you have a bigger group you can go for the platter for 6 which comes with a roast chicken as well! I really enjoyed the pork knuckle which didn’t feel too fatty and had super crispy skin. The sausages were also tasty without being too salty or fatty! Worth the calories I would say.
East Ocean is a must visit for my family every time we visit my dad’s hometown in Menglembu, Ipoh. This unassuming restaurant that is perpetually crowded serves up really great food in generous portions at reasonable prices. Pictured is the first course in a 8-course set menu for 10 pax (RM 1188 before taxes). On the upper deck was a poon choi like dish with lots of good stuff including baby abalone, sea cucumber, dried scallops, dried oysters and dried shiitake mushrooms etc. Given the portion, there’s more than one of each item to go around for the entire table! On the lower deck was cold platter like with many items, and my personal favorites were the breaded scallop with almond flakes and the amazing deep fried yam balls (not pictured).
Loved this Chirashi which was so generous with the thick and fresh slices of sashimi. The rice here is also mixed with an interesting and yummy seasoning - I wiped out the entire bowl! Ambience is great, and the place is bigger than it appears to be from the outside. Suitable for date nights or business lunches.
Went for their lunch (approx 50++ per pax) with 7 courses - cold and warm starter, soup, a meat dish, a seafood dish (pictured), pasta and dessert. Both food and service were great, definitely worth a visit! Price for dinner is steeper at 95++.
Quite a good deal with eatigo discount. Don’t expect this to be an authentic Japanese bbq, it’s like a mixture of Japanese, Korean or Chinese styled bbq. Regardless, the grilled meats are still yummy.
