Quite a busy little place for lunch. Service is very quick though. I normally get the Hainanese Chicken Rice which is good value for $12 and you can even request if you want the breast or leg. Roti is average here, tried it a few times and it can be hard and dry.

I agree it is a very busy place but that food is nice. Quite pricey though

I regularly go to Ipoh for lunch. Their noodle dishes are always excellent (especially the char kway teoh). Drinks are also excellent.
Don't get the roti it is usually dry and hard.
Lines are very long during lunch hour, make sure to get in before 12:15. There are 2 lines for cash payments and 1 for credit card so bring cash to order quickly.

Approximate cost: $12

Had an early breakfast here so choices were limited to toast, banana bread, roti canai and murtabak. Had a malaysian style coffee with condensed milk, and shared a toasted banana bread and murtabak. Generally ok but the murtabak was super tiny for $9 so I cannot ever recommend it.

The restaurant is down in the basement from street level, and during busy lunch time, you can expect about 5 lines all the way up to the stairs.

You order, pay and stand on the side until your order is up and number is called. Then proceed to your table which can be hard to find sometimes cos it is so busy.

I love their char kway teow with seafood costs around $12. It was done just the right way, right portion and very delish! don't forget the extra sambal with no extra cost

To think about it, that is the only dish I always order when I visit Ipoh...with iced milk tea. YUM!!

Definitely will go back and recommend it

I ordered a wonton noodle,the Wonton was too big and didn't have enough prawns. very stingy with the food. Pretty average compared all other malay restuarants.
Craving for a laksa and the serve was huge. Flavour was good but not intense, and no clams. Probably won't get the laksa again but they have a huge variety of Malaysian foods such as kuay teow, beef rending, satays, roti canai.

I had the Ipoh Sar Hor Fun which is flat rice noodle soup with shredded chicken & prawns and it tasted good. Even the cut red chillies given were not hot so I used all of it. It is only an average portion. After that I had the ice kachang which is crushed ice dessert with syrup but it lacked the authentic taste that would have been better if palm sugar (gula melaka) was used. Have tasted better. Service was pretty quick though as we came before the lunch crowd.

Approximate cost: $10 - 12

New discovery. Beautifully clean restaurant and you can see right into the kitchen where they prepare your food. I noticed their food safety certificate of excellence from the City of Sydney on the way out, confirming my overall impression. The laksa was delicious - just the right amount of chicken, packed with noodles and fresh curry leaves floating on the broth. Just the right amount of coconut too - ask for chilli if you like it spicier. All the staff were friendly and happy. The manager came out to talk laksa with the woman at the table next to me and I heard her remark this is the best laksa in town. I have to say it is pretty close especially when you consider the cleanliness, restaurant setting with food hall prices and they accept all the major credit cards. I like my laksa and I definitely appreciated my laksa here. It also arrived in about 1 minute - super fast, super friendly, overall 5 star experience!

Approximate cost: $9.50
