IPH Day 2 │ A Gastronomic Tour

The Morning Coffee Quest

Happy National Recovery Plan (NRP) Phase 3, Kuala Lumpur!

Day 2 of our Ipoh trip began early. We were up and about in search of some proper Ipoh white coffee, so we headed to the Little India district, hoping to have breakfast at Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong. Unfortunately, they were not ready to accept dine ins.

Across the street, Nam Heong White Coffee was in the same situation. After two failed attempts, we couldn’t help but suspect that the vaccination rate among adults in Ipoh might still be on the low side.

A Pleasant Surprise

But all was not lost. A very pleasant surprise awaited us at Restoran Makanan Yu Dan Mui (鱼旦妹茶室), where we were finally able to dine in. We were served by a boy and girl team — siblings, perhaps — who impressed us with their friendly service and cheerful attitude. It was a simple breakfast, but a memorable one.

Errands and a Dusty Alfie

After breakfast, we drove to Mydin Mall in Manjoi to pick up some household provisions. From there, we headed to Cyclone Car Wash because Alfie (the car) was looking a little dusty after the previous day’s drive.

A Taiping Detour That Wasn’t

We thought of taking a short trip to Taiping to visit its tranquil lake, but the heavy northbound traffic quickly changed our minds. Instead, we swung back into Ipoh town and decided to try Miker Pizza for lunch.

It turned out to be an excellent choice — delicious, satisfying, and a must try for all pizza lovers. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a large pizza to go as well.

Afternoon Rest and Evening Walk

Back at our Airbnb, we took a relaxing afternoon nap. As evening approached, we decided to walk to Gerbang Malam Ipoh, where we stumbled upon Ipoh Tuck Kee Restaurant, famous for its noodles. Dinner was excellent, and with our bellies full, we strolled back to the Airbnb.

I then spent the rest of the night editing videos from the past few days — a productive end to a long day.

Tomorrow’s Plan

We’ll be up early tomorrow morning to explore a diverse collection of Ipoh murals.

Please stay tuned for that adventure.
