Let's start with that one thing that is on your mind, yes we know what you're asking. It's food, isn't it?

Anyway, the point is, Ipoh has a lot of good food!

Endless varieties from halal to non-halal, you might need a week-long trip to try everything out. Famously known for its' bean sprout chicken, salted chicken, egg tart, bean curd (legit one of the smoothest bean curd you will ever taste), Ipoh coffees (better than the coffee you can get from any hipster cafe) and many more, like I've said, endless varieties!
