I have to admit that pork-free dining isn’t high on my list.
Like, why would I want to eat chicken when I enjoy pork more?
But beef and lamb?
Sure!
More so when the meat is cooked in thick, rich curry. I’m particularly smitten with lamb, pork or wild boar curry.
I’m back with more of my Ipoh’s best food lists! 🙂
Short on the heels of my Ipoh Best Dim Sum list, today it is all about my quest in seeking out the best Chinese restaurants in Ipoh.
This whole compilation is possible thanks to Brian, an Ipoh-lang true and through with a discerning palate that I trust wholeheartedly.
With his input, the list below are outlets popularly known as “dai chow” or the family dining (chinese food, cook upon order, eat-with-rice and dishes, family sit-down dinner) type of restaurants.
DISCLAIMER:
I’ve personally tried 12 of them in Ipoh so far and you can be assured there will be more over the coming months.
As per my standard protocol, I paid for my food, all visits are incognito and the number of diners varies from 2 – 6 partners.
I’m open to suggestions/recommendations so do drop me a message here (under comments) or fb.com/wackybecki or fb.com/RebeccaSawBlog!
The charming and old but definitely lovingly kept 27 at Concubine Lane may not be your average boutique hotel with all the sparkles and decor in place to recreate the nostalgic vibe.
At 27 at Concubine Lane, it is as real as it gets.
I’v heard of the pulut kaya at Keng Nam and although it sounded intriguing it hasn’t been appealing enough to entice me to Keng Nam for it.
After all, pulut with kaya is like kuih kaya or pulut tekan, just minus the blue color.
Besides, the kaya is too sweet for my liking.
The best dim sum in Ipoh?
Well, I’ve tried so many and while I can’t guarantee you that you will like the ones that I prefer, I’m certain that you would be able to find one that you enjoy from the list of Ipoh’s best dim that I’ve compiled here.
Like always, I paid for my food, all visits are incognito and the number of diners varies from 2 – 6 partners.

This is my first stay in 1981 Guest House Ipoh though I had visited before in October 2015 for a light snack at the Wheel Noodle Cafe downstairs.
The egg tart was overly sweet, the noodles decent (RM1.90 each) and the coffee thick and rich.
They are famous for their giant bowl of ramen which I haven’t tried.
