We dropped by OldTown White Coffee while exploring Ipoh, and it ended up being a really solid pick for a casual meal. We tried the nasi lemak with crispy chicken, and it came as a set with a drink and an ice cream sandwich for dessert – super worth it for the price! The crispy chicken was satisfying, and the whole set felt like a complete, comforting meal.
Of course, we couldn’t skip the iced white coffee. We both went for the less sugar option, and it was still rich and smooth. The freshly pressed coffee beans really made a difference – there’s a noticeable freshness when you dine in, and it blends so well with the milk.

Read moreOld Town Ipoh Café is a must-experience spot if you’re in the city. The café delivers on taste — the food is delicious and authentic, bringing out the rich flavours Ipoh is known for.

The charcoal bun is not the highlight here, but the 3 types of kaya that goes with it! You get to taste the difference in the type of kaya. The cheese cap coffee was surprisingly good! As a person who doesn't really drink black coffee, i was weary of the colour. But the drink turns out to be super smooth! Just the signature oldtown white coffee taste with a distinct hint of cheese!...
