Visit the Malaysian city of Ipoh on this private day trip from Kuala Lumpur. Roughly 120 miles (200 km) north of KL, Ipoh is known for its British colonial architecture as well as its street food. You'll see limestone caves and heritage sites like Ipoh Old Railway Station and Kellie's Castle, plus enjoy lunch in the Old Town.
Begin your adventure with a delicious breakfast. Visit the best spots to savor the mouthwatering kaya puffs (flaky pastry with a jam filling) and the amazing hor hee (light fish cakes served with white rice noodles). Discover the landmarks of British colonialism such as the impressive Ipoh Town Hall, the exquisite Ipoh Railway Station dating back to 1894, and the majestic Birch Memorial Clock Tower. Take a break to sip a cup of Ipoh's famous white coffee.
Walk through the array of local markets where you can feast on a wide variety of local Malay treats: curry noodles, fried turnips, caramel custard, chicken rice, and hakka mee – meatballs with cuttlefish and noodles. Next, you can try the yummy traditional dessert named muah chee or stop by a local cafe to try the amazing ice balls. Ipoh people are also big on snacks, so don’t miss the unusual tapioca chips, fried beans, and murukku (crunchy rice twists).
