Penang definitely beats many cities in Southeast Asia in the eyes of a group of foodies. There are world-famous "Nonya dishes" and "Mushan King Durian" here. Fried noodles, laksa, Hokkien noodles, red bean smoothie... these delicacies alone are enough to inspire the desire to visit.

The most famous food in Ipoh is probably the sprout chicken. At first, I thought it was one dish, but it was actually a plate of white, thinly sliced chicken, plus a plate of scallion sprouts, and either a bowl of smooth and delicious pho or a plate of steamed chicken rice. If you come to the night market to eat, don’t miss Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong (Old Soybean Sprout Chicken). The diners sitting on the wooden stools at the food stalls had a variety of tastes and were very pleasant.
The Hometown of White Coffee
You can see the "Old Town White Coffee" signs everywhere in famous cities in Malaysia, but few people know that the hometown of white coffee is Ipoh, and "Old Town" refers to the old streets of Ipoh. . So if you want a flat white coffee, you have to go to Ipoh.
Located at the end of Jalan Bandat Timah Street, Ipoh’s old street, Ipoh has two of the most famous tea rooms, Nam Hong and New Yuen Long. An old store with a story, coffee is everywhere in the store. Come here to miss the past time, taste a cup of white coffee and kill two birds with one stone.
