The MY World
a month agoIt's Chicken Rice restaurant. They call Tauge Ayam. This is the most famous restaurant as Chicken rice, also sprout in Ipoh. The chicken was really good and sprout was also. The sprout was very fatty and short. It's different from the one in the other area. At leat it's different from Japanese one and also Vietnamese one. Anyway it's very crowded, so you cannot expext their good service Lol. Just wait, have a seat and eat. Then get out once you finished. If you expect comfortable and slow lunch or dinner, then better to go the other shop.

2 weeks agoVisited this popular spot that’s often crowded with tourists, but I found it quite overrated. Presentation was poor, and the soy sauce used for both the chicken and tauge was far too sweet for my liking. They also drizzled too much oil. The rice was mushy and lacked fragrance, definitely not to my taste.

2 months agoWe enjoyed a group lunch at this restaurant, which features an open shop layout without air conditioning. The drink selection was interesting, allowing us to choose options like sour plum and chrysanthemum. We ordered a whole chicken, tofu, and a variety of vegetables. The food was quite filling and flavorful, making for a satisfying meal. However, the dining experience was somewhat marred by the presence of numerous houseflies, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Despite this drawback, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would consider returning for the tasty dishes and casual atmosphere.

2 months agoThe chicken was tough and served cold, while the bean sprouts were too oily for my taste. The fish and meatballs were decent, but the highlight of the meal was the chicken feet, cooked with a herbal flavor that was uniquely enjoyable.The restaurant was mostly filled with tourists, and the servers were pleasant.

2 weeks agoThe quality seems to have dropped. 1. Chicken feet stew: rather small size, however taste is fine. 2. Steam chicken (half chicken): good portion for 4 pax, however the chicken is dry and a bit greyish, doesn't seem appetising or fresh. 3. Bean sprout: big and juicy 4. Hor fun soup: smooth noodle 5. Drinks: DILUTED sour plum and chrysantemum drink. The sweetness is all from the sugar itself. Bill came at RM80++ for 4 pax. I don't know what has become of their food recently. I will give this a pass next time. There were better chicken rice shop than this within Ipoh.
