Old Town: The Classics
White coffee at Nam Heong (the original), then walk it off through Concubine Lane's shophouses. Ipoh's old town is compact — everything worth eating is within 15 minutes on foot.
The Dishes Ipoh Does Better Than Anywhere
Nga choy kai — poached chicken with the famously crunchy Ipoh bean sprouts, fed by limestone spring water. Salt-baked chicken wrapped in paper. Dim sum from 6am along Jalan Leong Sin Nam.
Between Meals: Limestone Temples
Kek Lok Tong and Perak Tong cave temples are 15 minutes out — vast limestone chambers, turtle ponds and hilltop views to reset your appetite for round two.
