Crystal Custard & White Coffee

For our final foodie destination, we decided we needed to try what Ipoh was truly known for: White Coffee. Although there were many restaurants that had White Coffee as a staple drink, we ultimately settled on a place that was hustling and bustling with people.

Restoran Ipoh Kong Heng was nestled only a few meters away from Sin Eng Heong. A closer look at the restaurant revealed that it was a hawker-style establishment with many vendors selling chicken rice and classical Chinese pastries.

Similar to Yong Suan Coffee Shop in terms of interior design and environment, Restoran Ipoh Kong Heng was very busy. It took us a little to be approached for our order. We intended on settling for one glass of iced White Coffee for all of us to share, but in the end, the attendant convinced us to try something else that it turned out Ipoh was known for - Crystal Custard.

Total price: RM7.20
The White Coffee was quite sweet, so it was a hit-and-miss depending on how each of the four of us preferred drinks in general. Underneath the sweetness, however, we all agreed that there was the taste of robust, earthy ground coffee. The Crystal Custard arrived with an undeniable sheen across the top, and the bouncy pudding was drowning in a sinful (but marvelous) caramel glaze. It tasted as good as it looked. The only thing that was of our concern was the poor pairing that we'd resorted to as both the items we ordered were relatively sweet. Our experience at Restoran Ipoh Kong Heng was one that could have been made better had we settled for a better balance of items ordered.
