Food: 怡保旧街场天津鸡丝河粉

Many know one of Ipoh food goodies is "chicken slice noodles" (鸡丝河粉). If you are looking for 鸡丝河粉at Ipoh, go try the "authentic" stalls at Ipoh Old Town. OK, not really linked to the popular Oldtown White Coffee or Cafe, even though both shops located on the same street in old town.

Most people treated as the best (me too) is at Tian Jin coffee shop at Ipoh Old Town 怡保旧街场天津鸡丝河粉. One of the critical ingredients is the noodle "hor fun" or 河粉 if pronounced in Cantonese. It is the smoothest I have tried and the soup is excellent. First tried in the 80s where whole bunch of us (in high school uniforms) after school, stopped over for lunch, on the way to a friend's house a Kg Tawas. I had the 鸡丝河粉 and a sweet dessert Custard. More than 20 years later, this duo is still as good. Of course, I had been there many times in between.

Other goodies: satay (got to try it, haha) located at the alley in between the neighboring coffee shop 光兴and天津. Soup noodles w/ fried stuff at front entrance is another Ipoh goodies too.
