One of the oldest, and most famous shop is Thean Chun, or fondly known as Hall Of Mirrors
Overall, it was a good breakfast. My choices would be their Caramel Custard and Chicken & Prawn Hor Fun. Definitely will drop by again for this.
Kong Heng restaurant is my favourite visit every time I am at Ipoh. This changed one day wheny family arrived at the restaurant late at 3pm and many of the stalls were closing. The chicken rice stall owner welcome us and we ordered from him. Bad experience started when the chicken rice stall owner deliver the food and my wife questioning the price inconsistency. The chicken rice stall owner clarify the price and become agitated, started raising his voice and claimed that we unfairly accused him charging excessive. I have to calm him down! He keep on raising his voice on us for a minute. I did not choose to quarrel with him as I do not want to show bad example to my daughter. His chicken rice is okay but the very poor service and attitude toward customer make us stop visiting to Kong Heng again. Other stalls in the restaurant services are good by Malaysia standard. The chicken rice stall leave a very bad name to Kong Heng restaurant Ipoh. I do not think I am the first customer to get bad experience from him. I advise future customer not to question or argue with him in order to have peaceful meal.
A highly recommended breakfast joint, even if only for the toasts and coffee.
The white coffee used to be really excellent, probably at the hands of the proprietor when quality came first before the urgency to churn out cups after cups ala fast food style.
Last but not least, if you think that the meats are just overwhelming and you crave for something more homely and tummy-warming, try their double boiled soups especially the one with groundnuts, chicken feet and wolf berries.
I can see most of the customer is local. We all also very happy and satified with Nam Chau.
