Ipoh Trip 2020 : What to Eat & Do in Ipoh (怡保)
Looking for a perfect family holiday in Malaysia? If you ask me, I would suggest Penang, Ipoh, Malacca or Johor. After staying home for a few months ever since MCO started in March, I decided to bring the kids for a short getaway to Ipoh. Why Ipoh? There are so many things to do, see and eat in Ipoh (怡保). If you’re looking for fun things to do in Ipoh, you may want to visit Lost World of Tambun. I brought my kids to the theme park during one of the school holidays and we had lots of fun there.

Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of Kai Si Hor Fun (鸡丝河粉) or Curry Mee because there are other stalls selling Chee Cheong Fun (猪肠粉), wanton mee, fried rice and noodles but I noticed most tables ordered either the dry curry chicken mee or kai si hor fun. After breakfast, we walked over to Hong Kee Confectionery (鸿记饼家) to buy their famous Sak Keh Ma (萨骑马) – a type of egg flour biscuit. Hong Kee Confectionery (鸿记饼家) is famous for their egg tarts, but I personally prefer their Sak Keh Ma ‘萨骑马’ which I thought is one of the best that I had. It’s crispy with a nice eggy flavor. It’s...
