A Weekend Lunch Outing at Mee Kicap Ipoh, Southville City

Posted on by Auri Duham by

As someone born and raised in Ipoh, I carry my love for Ipoh’s local cuisine wherever I go. It’s not just food—it’s nostalgia, comfort, and a reminder of home. So, you can imagine my excitement when, about two months ago, I stumbled upon Mee Kicap Ipoh Restaurant in Southville City. The moment I saw the name, something clicked—I was instantly hit with cravings for familiar flavours. I told myself right then,

“I have to come back for a proper weekend lunch.”

Fast forward to now: I kept that promise—and I’m so glad I did.

And yes, the smile on my face in the photos? 100% real. I was that happy.

✨ A Laid-Back Spot with Big Flavours

Mee Kicap Ipoh isn’t a fancy, high-end restaurant—and that’s exactly what makes it charming. The space is relaxed and cosy, with a casual vibe that invites you to show up in flip-flops, bring a couple of friends, and just enjoy good food without the frills.

When we arrived, my partner looked around and whispered, “Eh, ramai Chinese makan sini. Confirm sedap ni.”

He wasn’t wrong. From the very first bite, I could tell: this was the real deal. The noodles had that signature springy texture, the soy sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and savoury, and the bean sprouts—fresh, crunchy, and just like the ones from back home. The portion sizes were generous too.

Honestly, I don’t eat that much these days, but I wiped my plate clean. It was that good.

✨ What We Ordered

We kept it classic with:

  • Mee Kicap (Soy Sauce Noodles)

  • Curry Noodles

  • Dim Sum

The curry noodles were rich and flavourful without being too heavy, and the dim sum made a nice side treat. We noticed the menu also offered rice dishes and a variety of other noodle options—definitely something to look forward to next time!

Ordering was super convenient too. The QR code menu made it easy to browse and pay—no need to queue or wait for a server.

For the record, I skipped the rice (though it was tempting) because I’ve been avoiding it lately. Fun fact: last year, when I cut out rice, I actually lost weight and ended up with a flatter stomach. 😂 Trying to recreate that magic, so I’m sticking with alternatives for now!

 

If you ever find yourself in Southville City and you’re craving a slice of Ipoh, do yourself a favour and visit Mee Kicap Ipoh Restaurant. It’s simple, authentic, and oh-so-satisfying. For someone like me, far from home, it felt like a warm, delicious hug in a bowl.

Would I return? Definitely.

Till next time,
X, Hani 💛
