11 IPOH Best Chinese Restaurants (dai chou) – Sun Marpoh, Wong Koh Kee & more
** UPDATE – JAN 2018: 12 restaurants now!
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!
Roti Canai Kayu Arang @ Bachang, MELAKA – roti nachos, best nasi lemak, roti tampal
Whether the charcoal (kayu arang) enhances the roti canai in either aroma or taste is debatable.
I for one, couldn’t detect any enhancements.
It could be that our orders were roti tampal (eggs + roti canai) and Roti Nachos (a pizza with roti canai as base) and since both were not plain roti, the presumably added smoky flavours were lost on us.
Ipoh: Keng Nam best white coffee! Others – curry mee, chee cheong fun, pulut kaya
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.
IPOH – Foh San dim sum restaurant – 2016 review
While there has been a lot of flak on Foh San after their relocation, with many reports of the ever sliding south quality of food, uncomfortable dining environment coupled with unhelpful and brusque service.
Nasi Lemak Maki @ Boxes Cafe, BBCC Bukit Bintang City Centre
Nasi Lemak Sushi was at Ruyi and Lyn. And now we have Nasi Lemak Maki at Boxes Cafe, (BBCC) Bukit Bintang City Centre.
I’m not surprised really.
Nasi lemak sushi and nasi lemak maki roll is not that difficult to replicate considering that both make use of rice as the main ingredient.
However, while the nasi lemak sushi at Ruyi and Lyn was delicate, pretty and tasted remarkably close to the real deal, the nasi lemak maki at Boxes Cafe BBCC was a bit of a miss.
