As someone born and raised in Ipoh, I take immense pride in the local Ipoh cuisine no matter where I go. Two months ago, while I was in Southville City, I stumbled upon Mee Kicap Ipoh Restaurant. The sight of it immediately sparked a craving for the familiar flavours of home. I promised myself that I would return soon for a weekend lunch.
Well, here I am, wanting to share with you that I’ve finally fulfilled that promise. Look how happy I was in the photos!
I Enjoyed Having Lunch Here
The restaurant had a relaxed, cosy vibe—nothing fancy. It’s the kind of place where you can show up in flip-flops and shorts, perfect for a laid-back lunch with friends.
I remember my partner saying,
“There are several Chinese here. It must be good.”
We enjoyed curry noodles, mee kicap (soy sauce noodles), and dim sum, but the menu had plenty of other tempting options for next time. Ordering was a breeze with the QR code system. They even serve rice, though I’ve been trying to avoid it lately. I’ve cut back on rice because last year, when I stopped eating it, I lost weight and my stomach got flat! Haha, I’m aiming for that again, so I’m exploring alternatives!
If you’re ever in Southville City and crave some authentic Ipoh flavours, I recommend visiting Mee Kicap Ipoh Restaurant. It’s a little piece of Ipoh in the heart of Southville City.
I would definitely come again!
