春風得意酒家 • Oceanville Ipoh — Restaurant in Perak

Been to this restaurant 2 years ago after Malaysia government re-opened its door after Covid. Service was commendable, prompt & courteous. The victory fried chicken has been my favorite, and this is one of the “yardstick dishes” that I used to jugde how good is the restaurant. The quality & taste remain stable thought prices increase after Covid pandemic (it happen to all places..anyway). A few signature dishes to recommend: The Cashew Nut Prawn, The Yam Grouper Claylot, Pumpkin Toufu, Victory Friend Chicken. Not to forget the dessert Bubur Cha Cha (lower sugar level but rich in coconut aroma and full flavored soft Yam Cube) with sago balls. All made to perfection, except that the Prawn Cracker that accompanied the victory chicken, they use the small size crackers, instead of the large piece instant fried pinkish cracker, a little disappointed for missing out my childhood CNY prawn cracker…I missed the nostalgic mood though the chicken was meeting my...

Restaurant is at the ground level of Kinta Valley hotel. It has classical Chinese theme decor,very comfy and spacious seating. Service is top notch. But the night we were there there is a function going on, so it gets to pretty noisy.-4.5* We ordered their Eight treasure duck( 八宝鸭）,it is fragrant with Chinese herbs,the infills ingredients are cooked to perfection.Duck skin is intact,tasty and flavourful.Yum!!--5* The Chinese wine fish( 龙旦) has the aroma of sweet fermented rice wine,with the ginger and fungi it is heavenly.--5* The King Prawns are tasty,crunchy and pretty savoury but can be more fragrant especially the sauce.--4* The fry vege is tasty, delicious with crunchy element. The fried Toro matched wine nicely.--4.5* An enjoyable dinner, would had been perfect if not for the noises....

WARNING: One of the worst service I have experienced, please avoid this place at all cost. Ipoh is home to many good restaurants. This is overpriced and staff were rude, especially the captain/manager. Waited 1.5 hours and when asked the staff said it's cooking. No indication how long we have to wait. Was told it's because we ordered late and everyone else pre orders the food when come dine here. Was also told waiting 1 hour is normal when dining in Ipoh. When the food served it's not even hot. I wonder where the food went. And she event mixed up the prawns and just decided throw in additional prawns and said the kitchen forgotten about it, asked to take it back since we already finished our meal and was told it's already cooked . Please avoid this place...
