Ipoh Nam Heong Coffee Shop




While we observe more and more of Ipoh Old Town Coffeeshop mushrooming everywhere like nobody's business, let us not forget the authentic brew from the town itself.

Our gracious hostesses brought us to this bustling little coffeeshop, named "Nam Heong"... loosely translated into Southern Fragrance.



Their Ipoh White coffee is the real thang, bay-beh! It's so full of oomph that you'd never want to touch those watered down generic java again. Exaggerated? Maybe. But hell it's good.




Tucked at the shop front is a Char Kway Teow stall with a winning recipe that will keep you asking for more. Fried to perfection, the kway teow was neither too oily nor too dry. The wok hei wasn't too overwhelming and really whets the appetite. I have no qualms going for seconds even if it's a code red dish (read: cholesterol laden).


Give me more... give me more!
