Order: Ipoh white coffee, charcoal kaya toast, soft eggs

Widely credited as a birthplace of Ipoh white coffee, this Old Town shop still roasts beans in palm-oil margarine the old way. Breakfast here is the Ipoh rite of passage.

Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong

🐔 Chicken Rice · 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.
