Looking for all of the places we ate in Ipoh? Here's a map! puredetour.com/post/our-favourite-restaurants-and-dishes-in-ipoh-malaysia/
That bread with chicken curry. 😋
seriously good, it was right across the street and an easy meal on nights when we were too busy to go out or cook, so we must have had it 4-5 times in Ipoh!
Try the salted baked chicken next, could get it just around that areas.
my family has been loyal to nasi ganja for 3 generations. granddad has eaten there since the 60's. always get it whenever im visiting family there.
Oh wow, that's so cool. We had heard it was good, very good. But we were still shocked at the deliciousness! I think you can see in my face that I was expecting good, but got hit with awesome, lol 🤣
Thank god
I thought your 2 Ipoh chefs was your only Ipoh food experience 😅😅😅
Nope! 2 more videos to come after this one! How could we visit Ipoh and only make 1 food video. That would be a crime 🤣 Let us know what you think Billy!
Whammy! Take the plain(white )sugar first, then the brown one, then the ginger.
Oooh, you have a specific order in which to eat them?!? You sound like a pro, wish we had you there to give us tips, we're just there shoving food in our faces in whichever order, lol.
🤣am so impressed that Canadians liked tau fu fah from the first bite!! Courageous Praiseworthy foodies ❣❣❣
Really? It seemed like something I would like before i tried it, drown anything in sweet syrup and it's delicious 😂
That's the right ways to the the coffee and toast, Malaysia style!!
Yes! We have fallen in love with this, even had some this morning! Kaya toast is Geoff's favourite here. Malaysia is doing this right, aren't they?
Like I said before, you 're the savviest of them all!!! Cheers!
Ipoh is predominant Chinese food..Whatever u ate is all chinese food except the nasi Ganja. Will recommend that you try out the Chinese eateries for the Steam chicken not roast chicken, silky smooth tender. White coffee, like 1. Chang Jiang White Coffee · 2. Sin Yoon Loong ·3. Nam Heong and MANY MORE, different Chinese Kopitiam will result in a different taste of coffee, some more hazelnut, some more charcoal roast, etc in flavor. Dry curry, different eateries will result in a different version of dry curry, try it with Hor fun noodles instead of yellow noodles, example Yee Fatt Dry Curry Noodles. Also try Kai see hor fun like from Moon de Moon Restaurant and Sar Kok Liew ( Yambean Fritters), which u can get at Dai Shu Geok (Big Tree Foot). Ipoh shaved ice desert, Egg custard/flan, Char siew Sou, Egg tart, Kaya KOK etc..List goes ON
thanks for great tips. I will be in Ipoh one day on Jan 25th. Will take your advice and check out the places.
Thanks for the tips, we have tried many of these dishes, we just didn't get the chance to show them all in the videos. But there are still more fun Ipoh food videos coming up, let us know what you think when they come out!
Salted caramel white coffee 😋
@@nutzhazel Ooooh, that sounds amazing
Ipoh food are delicious because still following ancestor preparation & cooking method. Also use natural fresh ingredients.
Non or minimum MSG.
You can do a series of Ipoh food, delicacies & pastry, there are more goodies in Ipoh!
We agree, Ipoh food is so amazing. We are doing 4 videos in total about food in Ipoh, the last 2 will be released Saturday the 14th and 21st. So excited to hear what you think about them.
When ordering coffee or tea you can tell the waiter to be less sweet because in Malaysia all the 3 different races here have different level of sweetness.
Yes, we do order it sometimes less sweet or no sweet, and it's delicious any way. I had no idea that the levels of sweetness related to the ethnic mix though. Wouldn't it be more to each individual's taste?
@@PureDetour Usually the coffee/tea in Chinese coffee shops here is less sweet as compared to other races
You can also go for evaporated milk which is non sweetened instead of the normal sweetened condensed milk
@@PureDetour sorry but to say you both been to the wrong places for chicken rice and white coffee. Tips: if you never see a single Chinese customer at any Chinese foods restaurants or white coffee that's a unpopular place for it's tastes.
Thank you for your video. I love watching you eat
Thanks for watching! We love to try all the new foods, it’s so much fun!
You guys are amazing. Watching from Southern California. Eating like locals.
We do our best to get a taste of what it's like to live somewhere. Ipoh surprised us so much with all of its delicious food! Thanks so much for watching!
Glad that you enjoy sampling Ipoh's food.
Enjoyed is an understatement! We really loved the food, so fun to try so many new things!
Wow.. Wine + Bun + Curry.. Superb combination.. Luv your vids.. Keep it up.
Thanks so much! And yes, it's absolutely a winning combo, ahhah
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Hi Yasin! Thanks for watching, hope you're having a great 2023 so far!
@@PureDetour Thank u, u too. 😁
I still like the Malaysian local coffee especially the white coffee.when I go back to visit family if I want coffee that what I order.
Seriously good coffee, we're enjoying it so much!
Of all the vloggers to m/sg, you're the savvyiest!! Cheers!!
Oh wow, that's really nice of you to say! We do a lot of research and talk to the locals as much as we can. We love to eat so want to make sure we get the good stuff when we do, lol
@@PureDetour no wonder! I thought there was something different about you. You seem to get things spot on the first time round. Just keep going on your course.
This is so nice of you to say, thanks so much Eric!
Ipoh is the most underrated city and Perak is the most underrated state in Msia. Even Msians dont know too much abt this state, culture and its people. They think Perak is a state for chinese old generation only during communist era and malay live in very kampong2 areas doing kampung works. But many hustle and buzzle in Perak and Ipoh is now turn up..food, culture, rainforest etc to explore..
I totally agree. We had never even heard of Ipoh and Perak until we reached Malaysia and are so glad we visited. The people and the food were so amazing!
It was the previous politicians in charged who did not played the right things to bring up Ipoh and Perak globally.
Ipoh, the melting pot of Perak, where the old school restaurant and cafe foods will just keep you coming back. Try the Funny Mountain taufu fah, which is the no.1 dessert place in Ipoh. Be ready to queue, though. Lol!
Ah yes, we saw funny mountain, but didn’t try. We really liked the one we visited. Lovely family at Lai Kee soya. They were nice people
The beans are roasted at low temperature. Sometimes with butter. Maybe margarine. When roasted at high temperature it is black coffee. Retaining minerals in the bean.
Ooooh. Was delicious coffee. Best we’ve had in ages!
luar biasaaaa!!!!
🙏😍
Wow! Appetising food of Ipoh you all tasted and shared with food lovers. Good presentation.
Hey Andrew! Thanks so much, we had such a fun time going around Ipoh and trying all the food!
Curry bun chicken you can eat for lunch and dinner with 3 to 4 people. Can buy white rice somewhere for rm 1.5 and continue eating after you depleted the bun.
😂 we ate that whole thing, just 2 of us. Several times! Maybe we eat way too much, lol
Haha, made sure not to repeat the mistake of watching on an empty stomach again this time (while popping Reese''s in bed🙄). Am salivating over the pork lard rice (and enjoying Angela's constant appreciation of all things porcine perfection).
OMG that pork rice, you know it's not good for you, but it's hard to care when it tastes like that! Lol. I'm going to appreciate that porcine perfection right into 2 larger sizes of pants 🙃
At the local tourism office, they have a heritage walk map that takes thru all the popular food haunts...
Ah, that's a great tip! Thanks
Thanks for sharing this great video. The food looks so good. We’re in Georgetown, Penang right now for a couple of weeks and after seeing your video, I think we need to make a stop in Ipoh. I like the way you show different foods, like the unusual White coffee and the tofu dessert which looked really interesting. But the curry chicken in the bun sold me. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Georgetown is next for us! Can't wait to eat it all and show you what we're up to there. What did you love in Penang? And yes, Ipoh is worth a trip for the food alone. It also has a cute little town centre and the people are the warmest and most welcoming. If you go, let us know what you think. Enjoy!
Done subscribed...everything is very well explained
Thanks so much for subscribing! We do our best to explain, but sometimes it difficult when we are distracted by all the delicious food 🤣
both of you looks really enjoyed the malaysian cuisine 👍🏻
Enjoyed it an understatement! We can't get enough. Can't wait for you to see what's next.
Nasi ganja is nasi kandar I suppose. Because it was addictive (hopefully no poppy seeds inside), people called it nasi ganja.
Hahaha. Certainly addictive. Yes it’s nasi kandar but with clever marketing.
It cant go wrong with this simple dish. It reminds me of my childhood days
Aw that's nice. Happy to bring you back good childhood memories ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, you guys are real foodies 👍Subscribed! Can't wait for your next Ipoh vlog. Which Airbnb are you at and wld you recommend it?
Thanks for subscribing! A couple more Ipoh videos coming up, we ate so well there! Here is the Airbnb link: www.airbnb.com/rooms/31771762?source_impression_id=p3_1673134277_%2FDYkacZtJsIkq3AB We really liked it, lots of room, good location and the host, Mr. Lee, was amazing, made sure that the apartment was stocked with everything needed for your stay. Would 100% recommend
u guys are legends! great vid!
What a nice compliment, thanks so much! What can we say, we love eating 😋
Glad that you both enjoyed the foods..
Have a great time in Malaysia 🇲🇾👍✌️😊
Enjoyed is an understatement! We loved everything about Malaysia!
My hometown. Glad u enjoyed ipoh food
We loved Ipoh so much. Great city, amazing food, wonderful people.
New sub 😂
Yay! Welcome, lots more amazing food coming up!
usually if we eat beansprout chicken at ipoh , we will go for the white/ yellow skin steam chicken instead of roasted. Please try also ipoh salted chicken. Personally prefer Aun Kheng Lim Salted Chicken.
We have tried the steamed before in other Malaysian cities and Singapore too so we tried the roasted this time. Both are delicious! We have been told Aun Kheng is amazing, we didn't try it this time. We can only eat so much! lolol
It is salted baked chicken, not salted chicken.

Hi! Oh wow, that is a big list. How much do you think we can eat?!?!!? 🤣🤣🤣 We have wrapped up all of our filming in Ipoh, 2 more videos coming, then off to another city for more Malaysian food!
Bos, top halal spot in ipoh u tahu tak? Been to perak for almost 3-4 years tapi tak pernah ada chance nak explore ipoh because of study 🥲
@@Ali_art Ada. Restaurant New Holly Wood Canning Garden Ipoh. Confirm Halal.
After watching you eat that curry bread, that made me want to find curry bread...lol.
Yup, it's tasty!
Curry mee is my absolute favourite! So tasty 😋
That curry bun looks so delicious. We'll definitely have to hunt that down the next time we're in Ipoh!
Hi! YES! You must try it, so tasty, and fun to eat. We were lucky to have it across the street, we ate a lot of them in our month in Ipoh, lol
@@PureDetour ooh a month in Ipoh - we're jealous! We were there for a few days back in 2013 and absolutely loved it there. Such a cool vibe.
I love me some mizzy ganja
We had heard it was good, but we weren't prepared for that level of delicious. Perfection
You did it. Good job.
Thank you Ken!!!! Thanks for all of your amazing support and recommendations ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Absolutely Devine!!!🤤
Unbelievably delicious! What's your favourite?
Usually when you end up in a restaurant full of tourists, the food can be not great. This was definitely not the case in Ipoh! We found some restaurants and dishes popular with visitors to find out why they're so popular, turns out, it's because they're delicious! Where have you been, and what were the dishes you've eaten that are totally touristy, but absolutely worth it?
Thanks so much for these recommendations. I’m heading there in January. The places you showed don’t look touristy at all. They look like places that are full of locals.
In Malaysia hunger, being full and eating are three separate things. You do not have to be hungry to eat. You still can eat even when full... 🤣🤣🤣
This is no surprise to hear 😂😂😂 I understand this entirely
I love your channel, and how you both enjoy all the food!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, thank you so much! We both love to eat so much and love for good food is something everyone has in common, so it's an amazing way to get to know a place when you travel. ❤🙏😋
Yay, I’m so glad you came to Ipoh! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thank you for watching
So good. Yummy 😋
Hey Suay! Seriously, Ipoh impressed us on so many levels, but the food is outstanding. They have high standards of deliciousness in Ipoh!
As Malaysian Malay, I would always go easy on the sambal, if it's not spicy, I would add more. I have gastric problem hence being cautious. Some sambal are too fiery for me.
Ahhh, we LOVE the spicy, can't get enough. And for us it's rare for something to be really spicy, so we had some surprises here!
Was researching ipoh food, and I saw your video .Love it~! will check out these food next month when i visit Ipoh..I think more than 10 yrs not been there...am from singapore :)
Check some of my other Ipoh videos then. This video, while all of it was fantastic, the food is a bit more on the touristy side
I was from Malaysia. I live in Australia now. Im munching on a ham sandwich now and imagining Im eating what your eating. 🤤
🤣🤣 I'm sorry, Nick. While there is nothing wrong with a ham sandwich, it just doesn't compare, does it?
If Singapore is proud of their hainanese chicken rice (using imported chicken from malaysia), they cannot grow bean sprout like ipoh does using ipoh water.
Really. The bean sprouts in Ipoh were like none we’ve ever tried. So juicy and plump!
@@PureDetour I told you they are fat. Yes juicy.
Chinese Malaysians vs Chinese Singapork
Pork lard fried rice? That cannot be healthy for me lol.
Omg. It was so so tasty. Totally worth the heart attack 😂
Talking about nasi ganja, you d missed the salted egg that merge harmoniously blend with curry sauce and end up giving the curry sauce a 3rd leg kick that you weren't expecting!!!
And yes the spout in ipoh is different from the rest of the country! These spouts will not spoilt itself overnight and can be kept for days in a fridge. Those found elsewhere will spoilt itself after 5 hours. Rather unique, don't you tbink?
Great insight. Thanks for watching
I still don’t care for Tau fu fah (soy bean pudding) even when I was a kid growing up in KL.
We weren't sure if we would like it, but were pleasantly surprised. Especially the palm sugar and ginger syrup versions.
Ipoh mali ipoh mali ipoh ipoh ipoh mali.....syok oooooo
Hi! What does this mean? Google translate isn't helping me here, lol
@Pure Detour it means....come from Ipoh....
Mali = come from
Mari = come to
Both also can be use....
I live in KL but my house in Tambun Ipoh.....everytimes im went back to Ipoh and saw IPOH signboard on sideway of the north plus highway, i do always say IPOH MALI IPOH MALI IPOH IPOH IPOH MALI and we sing it all together with my kids and my lovely wife....kinda fun 😀
Got a video song of IPOH MALI.....try search it in youtube.....hope you enjoy it
@@naimhansem OMG, I just looked up the song! That was fun, now it's going to be stuck in my head. I'm imagining you and your family singing it in the car on the way to Ipoh and smiling at the image. Love it!
Wow, giving so positive comments how good ipoh foods and drinks I like to thank you but this will make all this food vendors increase the price and we ipoh folk will bear the high price of this with influx of more tourists coming over here.
That's fair, but I just read an article out of Ipoh this morning where the government is moving some food vendors around to draw in more tourists. I think they will have a much bigger impact than our tiny TH-cam channel
Nasi ganja(Yong Suan) has lost it's touch for more than a decade, do try nasi kandar Dato Sagor next time when you're at Ipoh. And try eating with your fingers as it was meant to be eaten that way for maximum flavor & experience.
Some people hate bean sprouts something chronic!
Not everything is for everyone, I guess. For example I (Angela) don't like mushrooms and Geoff hates tomatoes. But bean sprouts we both like, especially the fat juicy Ipoh ones!
Ipoh has more than 6 delicious street food
Of course, but we never claimed these were the only delicious foods in Ipoh
That kaya must be so lemak
It must be because it was so delicious!
@@PureDetour lemak manis we say. You did lemak pedas yet ?
@@fisherman9520 I just put that into google translate and it said it means "spicy fat" and now I HAVE to eat something like this. It's the first time I'm hearing this term. PLEASE tell me how to find it, lol
@@PureDetour 😂 google translate is hilarious. "Lemak pedas" is a common spicy yellow gravy (bird's eye chilli & tumeric in coconut milk) eaten with with rice like in "nasi campur". It originated from West Sumatera. Yes it can be super spicy. You'd get this (and its variations) in almost any Malay restaurant in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Southern Thailand and Brunei. You'd have in it chicken or beef (smoked or not), cow's belly, fish, clam, mud creeper, prawn or lobster.
Lemak in Malay context is more often than not has to do with coconut milk in the cooking i.e nasi lemak. Some add coconut milk in curries. It is a must ingredient in "rendang".
Kaya, a Hainanese & Baba- Nyonya creation, prime ingredient is coconut milk & palm sugar, hence "lemak manis". It can't be sweet fats 😂.
Malays are obsessed with "santan" (coconut milk) that many dessert & pastries are "santan" based. Lemak manis that is.
We'd also say "lemak merdu" which means tuneful as in singing voice or the proverb "banyak lemak" referring to troublesome behavior in a person or being lazy. Literally "banyak lemak" does mean too much body fats.
That nasi ganja's special orange "sambal makes it so addictive. Maybe there's ganja is in it 😂. The only unpleasant thing about is the always long que.
@@fisherman9520 Ahhhh, that makes much more sense than the google translate 🤣🤣🤣and yes, now that we're in Malaysia we're obsessed with coconut milk too. So interesting the figures of speech, Thanks so much for taking the time to explain to us, it can be confusing not knowing the language well! As for the Nasi ganja, we got there early, we were the first ones there! So we beat the line by half an hour 🤣 we're always early
🤤🤤
Right? Ipoh was really deserves a bigger reputation worldwide as a food destination
Do you know bean sprouts in Ipoh has no 'tail'.
👍🇲🇾
🇲🇾❤😋
Tofu fah is better with brown / palm sugar
The palm sugar was definitely Geoff’s favourite. I liked the ginger.
✌️😎✌️❤️🇲🇾
🇲🇾😍🙏
So how many kg did you add to your weight?
Thank goodness we don’t have a scale, we have no idea. My pants still fit, so that’s good. Right?
@@PureDetour those food you tasted on this vlog is just tip of the iceberg only. The pastries and dim sum is good too. And of course salt baked chicken. There is a restaurant famous for dry curry noodles not in this vlog of course. I shall try to find the name.
@@PureDetour Yee Fatt Dry Curry Noodles
not sambal actually curry
Where did you stay?
We stayed on Jalan Theatre. Do you know the area?
@@PureDetour No I don't. Plan to go there in a couple of weeks.
Oh cool! You're going to enjoy it there, how long are you staying?
@@PureDetour Well I'm here for 3 months so 7f* like it I'll stay a while. But right now I'm very tired and washed out and need badly to chill! Arrived Malacca today, for 10 days..
@@jackiemerino3910 Oh, we were in Malacca too! not sure where you're staying there, but Unicorn cafe and Asam Pedas Apak (it's spicy) have some great food there. And if you go to the Potrugese village, eat at Restoran Lisbon. try the curry debal (also spicy, lol). We also stayed in Malaysia for almost 4 months, it's a pretty chill place. I think I found Penang to be the most chill spot. 10 days is plenty of time to slowly catch yourself and chill out a bit in Malacca. If you have questions you can msg us on insta or fb, same user name. We just left Malaysia and miss it already
The worst is NASI GANJA. I really wonder why there are so many weirdos who said its the best.
Really? We thought it was delicious! What is your favourite Ipoh dish? We have one more Ipoh food video coming next week, maybe we tried your fave?
@@PureDetour pls dont take it personally. I appreciate your effort in making this video. There are many over rated places in IPOH... and Nasi Ganja is at the top of the list of the over rated ones. IPOH is not well known for Nasi Kandar. I should know, cos I grew up in Ipoh and still go to IPOH every 2 months so I am very much in touch with IPOH all my life and still do. The other over rated ones are LO WONG and ONN KEE...both selling horrible quality chicken rice. When I said Horrible...it means horrible for IPOH's food standard. Both are tourist traps so you will find majority of the customers are tourists and not locals.
All nasi kandar, do not ever take the crab, big prawn and big squid. The price will kill you.
Mmmmm nasi kandar is delicious. I don't like squid all that much but love the crabs and big prawns! Though you're right, your wallet is lighter after that, lol
Please don’t fly after u try nasi ganja 😢😢
Don't fly? Hahha, why not?
Quietly, according to history Sultan Perak is the most brilliant Sultan among others Sultans. Perak is the only state in Malay Peninsular that could repel the Siam invasion of Perak with the brilliant war strategy by its Sultan and its warrior by playing tin commodity trade strategy with British, Bugis, Selangor, Siam, Kedah to face Siam invasion, buying weapons, getting army assistance. Perak has many tin mines and with tin commodity British, Siam and other states bow to Perak. Perak never bow and never been invaded by Siam like Pattani, Kedah, Perlis, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu , Pahang etc but instead Perak could stole a large Siam territories in Yala and Songkla into its fold that now known as Hulu Perak district. Due to fail invasion of Perak eventhough many times campaign in Perak, King of Siam so frustated and stop his intention to attack and invade all other states. Perak has salvaged Malay Peninsular from fall to Siam. Thanks to Perak. You should learn History of Perak its very interesting.
Wow, that all sounds very interesting indeed
I have been living in Ipoh for the last few decades and most of the places you recommend I have never heard before. Don't pretend to be a food connoisseur when you are just passing by Ipoh. There are much more food which is more delicious and has been selling for decades.
Hahahaha. Where in the 140+ videos we have released did we ever claim to be food Connoisseurs? I'll let you know, NOWHERE. We only suggested some foods for tourists to try.
And of the 160+ comments on this video, with the overwhelming majority being people from Ipoh that have no issue with what we put out, you're the only one being an ass.
I'll bet you're a ton of fun at parties.
Great 👍 done sub
Thank you so much, Jocelyn
Thank god
I thought your 2 Ipoh chefs was your only Ipoh food experience 😅😅😅
