Best Chicken Rice in Perak (2026)

Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong

Jalan Yau Tet Shin, Ipoh, Perak

🐖 Non-halalRM15–RM30

Order: Tauge ayam: poached chicken with fat Ipoh bean sprouts and kuey teow soup

The name every Ipoh trip starts with. Silky poached chicken drenched in soy and sesame, plus those stubby, crunchy bean sprouts only Ipoh water seems to grow. Busy enough that it outgrew its four-decade home in 2026 and moved into a much bigger space on the same street.

⚠️ Last confirmed before 2025 — check it is open before you go.
