Whoever comes to this place sure must be loving the old-Chinese-shop vibe and the food was surprisingly good and cheap - Must try; Hainan Chicken Rice, the prawn Char Kuey Teoe with soy sauce, Yong Tau Foo. Got nasi kandar also, looks people are queuing. - Waiting time very fast, you just need to order at the stall and pay straight away and give ur table number. - Bring my kid, the waiter understands so they give us better table and spaces - Price is reasonably good

A classic old-school Chinese kopitiam with great local food at affordable prices. The atmosphere brings back memories — simple, nostalgic, and full of character. Tried the chee cheong fun, char kway teow, loh bak and curry mee — all were excellent. It’s no surprise this place is so well-known. A must-visit if you want to experience authentic Ipoh vibes.

Variety of stalls and a lively atmosphere, making it a good spot for breakfast. The char kuey teow was good with wok hey and shrimp.

I’ve visited this spot for breakfast twice, both times around 8 am, and it was not too busy, so we simply walked right in. The service and atmosphere here is typical of casual eateries (kopitian) in Malaysia. Please note when I left there were a few families lining up to get in. During my first visit, I tried the Asam Laksa. It may have looked plain (I didn’t take a picture), but it was bursting with flavor! I couldn't resist coming back for a second visit to sample the Hokkien Mee (also known as prawn mee or mee udang). This time, I made sure to snap a photo before diving in. What’s great about this Hokkien Mee is that it’s made with our Muslim friends in mind, so there’s no pork in it. I genuinely think the flavor competes with some of the best I've tasted in Penang (I am from Penang)! The portion size was generous, and it looked fantastic too. Overall, I had a lovely experience at this place. Thanks for reading about my breakfast adventures!
