The coffee shop in the old part of Ipoh town. If you come in from the new town, turn right at the first junction after crossing the Kinta River… The coffeeshop is on the second block on the left.

Try beef noodles, popiah, satay (pork & intestines), kway teow soup.

Love the intestines satay. Good!!!

THE Pun Chun restaurant is a venerable 70-year-old establishment that’s well-known for its chicken biscuits and ngap pei meen (duck thigh noodles). Served with egg noodles, the steamed duck soup is cooked with Chinese herbs such as wolfberries (kei chee), pak kei, wai san, tong sum and dried longan. The herbal flavour is light and elegant, and the duck is steamed to flavourful tenderness.

The kopitiam has been run by the Khong family since 1938 and is now under the care of the matriarch, Chan Yoke Ooi.

Chan said the herbal duck recipe was taught to her father-in-law, Khong Hin, by a sifu back in China.

Apart from the duck noodles, the wantan noodles with plump dumplings and the taro puffs (woo kok) are also very good. But there is more: fresh batches of traditional Chinese pastries such as wife biscuits (loh poh peang), mooncakes and char siew pau are brought out throughout the day. The sha ket ma (sweet pastry made from flour, sugar and eggs) is considered one of the best around.

Duck Rice in Skudai (JB)

My brother brought us there as he had a craving for the duck rice. He was in awe of the duck and said that once we ate it, we would want to eat it every day. We set off from Singapore late and reached there about 6pm. I liked the white noodles but I find the duck abit too oily. This shop is supposed to be the first in JB. Remembered that the attitude from them was quite bad. Please do try the another stall recommended at the bottom of this post.
