Check Out These 5 Awesome Places In Ipoh For Some Delicious Food!

Don’t go to any restaurant or hawker stall. It’s not all the same.

Ipoh is known as food heaven. Many foodies travel far and wide, just to enjoy all the wonderful delicacies in Ipoh! I’m one of them. I gain at least 5 pounds every time I’m there! 🤤

Have a craving for that hot piping bowl of 🍜 Chicken Noodle Hor Fun? Looking for the perfect roti to stop your mouth from watering? Well, you can get that in Ipoh. Before you go running out 🏃🏻‍♂️ and screaming “TAKE MY MONEY” at the top of your lungs, take note of this first.

In Ipoh, you can’t just say you want to eat wonton mee and go to any old hawker stall you see.

You need to know which ones to go to! To be honest, there are a ton of wonton mee stalls in Ipoh. You might be tempted to stop by the one closest to you. STOP! ✋🏻🛑 The thing is, they don’t all taste good!

If you want good food, you have to go to the right places.

How do you know which stall to go to?

Well, if you see a huge line-up, it’s a pretty good sign that the food there is top notch. 😆 Otherwise, you’ll might need to go through word of mouth or recommendations by people who have been there! If you can get someone local to take you there, it’s even better.

It’s a good thing that I have been to Ipoh enough times to know what’s good and what’s not! This is thanks to my great local guides who know exactly where the best food places are!

Here are some of the best places I’ve been to for different types of food.

ROTI — Al Matha’am Syed Corner

How can you go to Malaysia without having some ROTI? It’s super delicious, but the best place I’ve been to is Matha Ali Roti. Many people often venture out to eat here for midnight snacks. I usually go after dinner as well and there are lots of people, enjoying a nice variety of roti. It’s cheap and the drinks are also very good.

CHICKEN HOR FUN NOODLES — 鸡丝河粉(前九州)

The Chicken Ho Fun in Ipoh is famous! You can’t miss it. When you go to the hawker stalls, you’ll often see a stall selling these noodles. But nope. Don’t just go to any one. I highly recommend going to this hawker stall.

You just have to remember to go as early as possible! There is almost always a line up. After you order, you can expect to wait 30 minutes or even more for your food. So, go early!

CHICKEN RICE — Restoran Nasi Ayam Pak Kong

Looking for some chicken rice? I have just the place. Again, you need to go early and during off times. If not, you can expect another huge line-up for dining in or taking out.

The chicken rice here is famous. You’ll see it being recommended everywhere.

STEAMED BREAD — People’s Park Chang Jiang White Coffee

Who would have thought? This was the first time I had steamed bread here. I was pleasantly surprised! The bread was hot and so soft.

Fried Food — Big Tree Foot

Yes, it’s a strange name, but don’t be fooled. This places offers a few food stalls and it’s absolutely delicious! People go here for the fried food! The environment is quite interesting too, because you are sitting on some big tree roots! Be careful not to trip over a branch! Too cool. 🌳🌴

Restoran Choong Kee “Pokok Besar” 兵如港忠记大树头炸料粉

1213, Jalan King, Taman Hoover, 31650 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia +60 12–505 9562

I tried to provide the names and addresses of the restaurants as best as I could, but it was a bit difficult. It’s especially hard when some of the places are specific hawker stalls in a large food court! I added what I could find on the internet above. I promise you won’t be disappointed. 🥰

Please feel free to tag me if you visit any of these places! I’d love to see your food pics and hear about your experience.

Is your mouth watering right now? Mine certainly is! 🤤
