a month agoThis being a popular tourist destination, there's always a queue for a table. As usual, the bean sprouts was superb, plump, juicy and crunchy. The fish balls and meatballs were quite good. However, the chicken was a bit of a let down; it was tough and a bit overcooked. The rice was fragrant, but it was rather wet and sticky. It's good to try if you've never been there, but otherwise it may not be worth the queue.

a month agoGood place to have chicken rice but since this place is now part of a very popular tourist spot, you have to queue. For me, the tastes were great but not worth the long queue. If you have been to Ipoh, perhaps you may want to skip this place. However, for the first timer - perhaps can give it a try!

2 weeks agoExpected to be very well-known amongst the locals. The rice is mediocre but the chicken is very good. The marinated chicken feet and bean sprouts are very good.Staffs are as you would expected as a local restaurants: fast and uncaring.Trying to find parking to go to this place is crazy.

a month ago🍼Jun 2019 Bean Sprout Chicken is a must-try dish when visiting Ipoh. However, it's more of a set meal rather than a single dish, consisting of bean sprouts, chicken, and fragrant rice. The bean sprouts and chicken are served separately on plates, accompanied by a plate of rice. Eat the chicken and paired with the chili ginger sauce, it adds another tastiness to the chicken and rice in your mouth. The bean sprouts size is big and well cooked. Believe that only the exceptional water quality in Ipoh can grow such plump and crunchy bean sprouts, quite different from the thin, long varieties commonly seen elsewhere.

a month agoThis resto is really famous for tourism and local, so if you want to visit I suggest u come early. We order chicken feet, half chicken, tauge and hainam rice for 2 person. For us, the tastes is really good and it more delicious when u add the chili sauce. The chili sauce not really spicy but it will add more sensation and it really match with the combination from chicken and hainam rice. If one day i visit Ipoh again, I’ll come back here.
