Great for relaxing and sightseeing
Gunung Lang Recreational Park was quite a unique place to be at. The boat ride and petting zoo are definite highlights, and the tranquil environment makes it a perfect spot for a family outing or a peaceful retreat. There are several playgrounds for children, ensuring they have a fun and active time. Limited dining options within the park; it's advisable to bring your own snacks or visit nearby eateries. Free entrance and spacious parking but it was fully packed during holidays

Coffee in the mountain valley ⛰️ Kin Lorong Valley Chang Jiang White Coffee☕️
#ipohtrip
Kin Loong Valley Chang Jiang White Coffee’s major charm is the natural scenery around it. It is in the same area as Tasik Cermin. So, it’s a very convenient to just walk here if you feel hungry and want something more lasting than snacks or ice cream.
This is the 4th branch of Chang Jiang White Coffee (Kin Loong Valley Chang Jiang White Coffee) in Ipoh. And it officially opened its doors in December 2022. The eatery occupies a space in an area of around 2 acres and has its own visitor car park.
The café is housed in a brick building at one side of the valley. With a separate block for the kitchen as well as for gender segregated toilets and prayer rooms.
It’s an interesting tourist spot to experience in Ipoh.

Stg Tea House Cafe Ipoh
#ipohtrip
Brilliant Birthday Brunch at stg teahouse . 🥳 Yes, everything is for me, or is it? (Swipe to find out 😜)
Incredibly blessed to have pre-celebrated my birthday with some fantastic food and company before the government announced the second lockdown few days before my birthday. 🎂 🎉
Chose to celebrate my 22nd birthday at this heritage tea house due to its lovely, quaint, British Borneo ambience and extensive variety of delicious dishes. 😋
Just look at this diverse spread featuring a hearty breakfast plate with a humongous flaky croissant, baked beans, mushrooms, sausages, bacon and a double sunny side up to brighten your day. 🤩
Standing out with its contrasting yellow cheesy surface over the cool, crispy charcoal base made in house was the generously topped beef pepperoni pizza. 😍
For something more meaty and substantial, head for the lustrous and luscious smoked duck breast drizzled with an appetising citrus sauce or the herbed stuffed chicken doused in a rich creamy mushroom sauce. 🤤

Check out this new vegetarian cafe with an aesthetic floral interior design that perfectly aligns with its plant-based ideology. 💯🌱

You can even literally pick your own choice of greens when you order one of their customisable salads. Feel free to use the ladder to grab your desired plant if it’s too high up.
Tried their V Signature Salad Bowl consisting plenty of fresh romaine lettuce with an appetising medley of diced tomatoes, pineapples, cucumber tossed together with a crunchy family of crispy beancurd skin, Parmesan cheese crisps and breadcrumbs before drizzling it all in a tasty sesame sauce.😋

A cozy cafe, with nice food. The staffs were professional keep on checking if everything was OK.
The concept is unique but also aesthetic, making it a feast for the eyes. Every corner of the shop exudes charm and creativity, creating an inviting and pleasant atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed.
expected, it complemented the pasta beautifully. The smoked duck was chunky and accompanied by plenty of mushrooms, just like the beef strips, which were also plentiful. Both dishes were really good.
The chicken was properly marinated, and the soft, caramelized grilled pineapple balanced the whole dish nicely. What made it exceptional was the burger bun, which held everything together perfectly.
So loveeee the ambience , the music also good <3 interior also so classic yet modern . Cool . 🫰🏻

A really popular themed cafe in Ipoh that offers bread, dessert, coffee and pasta. Built just next to Kinta City in a converted terrace house, this place offers both good food, relaxing environment and plenty of photo taking opportunities.
Really enjoyed their mango cake which was sweet and doesn't skimp on the mango. The smoked duck pasta was also really good and loved their matcha latte.
Price may be a little pricey, but that service and food quality more than makes up for it. Definitely worth a visit.

The shop also provides boiled water and many game props that you can use at any time. Remember to put them back in place after use.

Wong’s Kopitiam Ipoh
#ipohtrip
Quite a unique cafe, however, be prepared for cafe prices too. Ordered green bean soup and black vinegar pork knuckles rice. Food was OKAY.
Visited this kopitiam again for the lovely food they served. This time tried their 3 meat (curry chicken, roasted pork and fried pork) nasi lemak. This dish was very good and satisfying. Liked the sambal for nasi lemak. Liked the way they served iced lemon water in a big mug, very cooling and satisfying in terms of quantity (at RM1 only). Toilet was clean during my last visit. Provide free serviettes at each table was the only sincere suggestion I can think of that they should try to improve upon.

Platf9rm Coffee Ipoh
#ipohtrip
Fans of Harry Potter should check out this cafe. The decorations are one-of-a-kind in my opinion. Make your purchase downstairs and bring it upstairs. Visitors can also rent costumes for more enjoyable photographs.
I got a cookie cream chip frappe, a butterscotch chocolate drink, and a matcha block cake. Given the size, the price is slightly higher. I'm delighted the drinks were tasty. The cake was ok, though it could have been better in terms of matcha flavour.
Spot the cafe tucked inside Concubine Lane, which is always packed with people esp on holidays.

Seong Man Tea House Ipoh
#ipohtrip
Love the old timey feel of this cozy Zen teahouse. The decor is sublime! Nice finishing touches and choice of furniture mixed in with real plants. I really love the bento vibes of the desserts and rice dish with the herbal mushroom and daikon. A real standout is the chrysanthemum agar agar and the angku kuih is so pretty and delicious. What I love is the sweets are actually not very sweet at all which is perfect! The sticky rice tea we ordered was perfectly balanced and I also enjoyed the curry bun. This is the perfect place with family, or a date or with friends. I wish I lived here and could come here every weekend!

Hillrise Coffee 16 Canning Garden Ipoh
#ipohtrip
A popular cafe located within a bungalow. Nicely done up space with various types of seating. Charming & cosy. Parking available at the side or a short walk away along the commercial lot. Service could be better, they seem rather uninterested. Quite pricey for what you get.
We came for a late lunch on a weekday. There were no crowds to contend with. Ordered their smoked duck carbonara & spicy pepperoni aglio olio. Rather small portion & lackluster presentation. Taste wise average at best. Could do with more ingredients.
