Restoran Kum Kee 兵如港錦記小食店

Top 50 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Chinese
Business Hour Opens from evening about 5.30pm until about 3am. 傍晚6點至淩晨3點

The sheer fact that Kum Kee is still standing strong; overflowing with late night diners nightly is testament enough of their popularity and sustainability in the heart of Ipohans. The foods are priced very reasonably too; a meal for 3 came to less than RM30; including a serving of grandma’s favourite chicken feet for take away.

Business Hour Opens from 11am – 6pm, closed on Thursdays

This will be a great spot for tea time snacking in between meals; say after a satisfying lunch at Ma Chai in Menglembu then followed by a platter of fruits rojak.

Sun Wen Cau Restaurant

Cuisines Chinese

Well, in terms of fresh seafood, can’t deny that Sun Wen Cau’s supplies were as fresh as they came. Just that, some of their rendition of common dishes lacked imagination and well, perfection.

After all, there are not many cafes around that opens during the odd hours (in between meals), serve really home cooked fares and prices that won’t set your pocket on fire.

Bougainvillea City Cafe

Top 500 Restaurants in Perak
Cuisines Western
Business Hour Opens from 12 pm – 10 pm, closed on Tuesdays

All in all, the lunch at BCC was a mighty satisfying affair in my books; about RM100 for the 3 of us. We had no rooms for desserts there after, especially when I had to continue the cafe hop throughout the day. But their Tiramisu, Napolean and Crepe Cakes sounded like pretty fascinating affairs.

Good Morning Ipoh! ... On this trail of balancing out the sins of homemade snacks with lighter stuff; the roasted summer vegetables in olive oil appeared to be a smart, beautiful and delicious choice.

Ben & Lynette

Cuisines Western
Business Hour 9am – 12.30am daily

A quirky, vintage or modern contemporary ambience can only get you so far in roping in new customers, but staying power should always be measured from a point of substance and service.
