Ipoh is known for a variety of foods, and is growing in its reputation as a food tour destination in Malaysia. The must-eat foods have been highlighted by various food bloggers and food hunters who savor Ipoh with every chance they have to stop and take a bite of what has made Ipoh a foodie gold mine. However, as Ipoh is no stranger to pork and other non-halal items, it'd be best to exercise caution if you have such food restrictions.
There are various food and drinks for one to try in Ipoh, and of course, the choices are not limited to those made on our weblog. Some of the other foods that one definitely has to try in Ipoh are as follows:
1) Ipoh Dry Curry Mee
