We were picked up right on time at 7:30 AM and enjoyed a smooth, air-conditioned drive to Ipoh. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history of the railway station and the colonial-era buildings, which really enriched the experience.

Lunch at the original Old Town White Coffee location was a great choice — the signature white coffee and bean-sprout chicken were delicious. Afterwards wandering through the city markets and sampling Heong Peng and muah chee added an auth..entic local flavour to the trip. Read full review
