Lil Ipoh

2
Cuisines Fusion
Business Hour 12pm-2.30pm & 5pm-12pm

Air con with garden concept serving ipoh's most famous local hawker food stalls.

If you ask me, can this replace any of the established (old-timer, or ‘lou jiu pai’) hawker stalls of Ipoh? Definitely not.

The Mia Eating House

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 8am – 4pm

The sides were forgettable though, even their proclaimed ‘Homemade Spring Roll’ (RM4.50/USD1.50) or Hakka Yong Tau Foo (RM3.30/USD1.10). Stick to the noodles, and I was already eyeing the Black Sesame Pan Mee, Chili Pan Mee, Loh Pan Mee and Curry Pan Mee for the upcoming visits.

Restoran Malika Saba

Cuisines Arab
Business Hour 11am -12am daily

The Arabic salad was a light toss of mixed vegetables with Sumak (a flowering herb that rendered a distinct flavour to the dressing), and came with the platter itself.

Sungai Wang Seafood Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 2-11pm

The meal came to RM92/USD31 for the 5 of us, a clear winner in our books for all the right reasons. Sans the wait.

Restoran Yat Yat Bat Tauge Ayam (118)

Cuisines Chinese

Clean, spacious, with an area designated for the heat-intolerant ones (we were) blasting with air-cond, 118 proved to be one hell of a contender.

Tai Wo Yuan Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens from 10am until 6pm daily. Days off not fixed.

Take your time and plan. I’m sure you WILL find something you’d keep coming back for in Ipoh; aside from the usual favourites/tourist haunts.

Restoran Hong Xing Dim Sum

Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 7am – 2pm daily, Closed on Thursdays.

If you think that Ipoh’s dim sum revolves around Foh San and Ming Court only, think again. Try browsing through this list – All About Ipoh Dim Sum and I bet you’ll find one or two gems in there that will please the most discerning dim sum lover in you.

Restaurant Fatty Bak Kut Teh & Fish Head

2
Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 6pm – 5am

Restaurant which is just beside Old Klang Road. They cook the bak kut teh outside of the restaurant. The soup is superb!

They open from 6pm until 5am. Yes, the twilight hours! A good place to sober up after the mindless binge-drinking over at Scott’s Garden? Fair enough.

Restoran Makanan Laut Kwai Lam

Top 500 Restaurants in Selangor
Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour 6pm - 1am Monday - Friday Opens for dinner only, from 6pm onwards until late night.

The crab was fantastic. Very meaty. Real fatty crab.

The noodles meanwhile, was a disaster. Skip the Hokkien mee or mee hoon, if you would. Aside from the bits of lard fritters, the noodles was dry, bland, and completely out of tune. Should have opted for fried mee hoon with lala or something.

Let's Rock

Cuisines Chinese

This could be a place that can go far. Far beyond the tourist crowd come long weekends and public holidays. I believe not many places in Ipoh sell “Liew Fun” at night, aside from this Wok With Kim on Yang Kalsom Road and this hidden gem in Pasir Pinji wet market.

Top 500 Restaurants in Perak

To those who really wants to experience Italy, literally, should give Italia Mia a go.

Zakka Loft

Top 500 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Pastries
Business Hour Tue - Sun:11:00 am-9:00 pm

There were some desserts on the menu that were not readily available; as they only stocked up on a few cakes, puddings, sweet soups and teas in the refrigerator with several tiers. Since Zakka Loft is not equipped with a kitchen, they can only afford simpler items that can be re-heated or served chilled on the spot.

Healy Mac’S Irish Bar & Restaurant

Cuisines Irish
Business Hour 1pm – 1.30am on usual days, until 2.00am on Fridays and Saturdays. Opens daily.

The lack of competition aside, they actually managed to set their base well, without over-promising and service was a prompt and pleasant one without newbies dropping plates, mixing up orders and what-not.

Restoran Yum Yum

Top 100 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Chinese

The wooden double door opens into a dining restaurant of Chinese origin that is heavily influenced by Thai tastebuds.

This dining experience at Yum Yum left me with wanting more. Not because of the portions, which were sufficient for 8-10 pax. But more to because of the cooking.
