A short 5-minutesโ walk away from Thean Chun and Nam Heong are another two old coffeeshops which are famous for their Ipoh white coffee - thick, rich, sweet Ipoh-style coffee brew - Sin Yoon Loong and Nam Heong. They face each other across the street at Jalan Bandar Timah.
You can also see Hoong Tho (the restaurant featured in this post) on the Google Map below - itโs only a couple of minutesโ walk away from Nam Heong.
Ipoh Old Town is very walkable, so you can actually cover a lot of places within a short time. The challenge, of course, is how much you can eat within that period, as youโd want to try so many things.
A good place to chill out in Old Town is Plan B at Sekeping Kong Heng. Often, when I make day-trips to Ipoh from Kuala Lumpur (I did that a lot back in 2015-2016 when I was still in KL, and before I moved to Penang) and I needed some place cool to rest and have a beer, Iโd go there. Itโs just behind Kong Heng/Thean Chun.
