ABOUT IPOH
Ipoh (/ˈiːpoʊ/) is the capital city of the Malaysian state of Perak. Located by the Kinta River, it is nearly 180 km (110 mi) north of Kuala Lumpur and 123 km (76 mi) southeast of George Town in neighbouring Penang. As of 2010, Ipoh had a population of 657,892, making it the third largest city in Malaysia by population.
Originally a village, Ipoh began to grow rapidly in the 1880s after huge deposits of tin were discovered within its vicinity.[3] By 1895, it was the second largest town within the Federated Malay States, which also consisted of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang.[4] Ipoh was declared a city in 1988.[3][4] However, following the depletion of its tin deposits and the collapse of tin prices in the 1970s, the city suffered decades of decline and neglect.
In recent years, Ipoh's popularity as a tourist destination has been significantly boosted by efforts to conserve its British colonial-era architecture.[7][8] The city is also well known for its cuisine and natural attractions, such as its limestone hills and caves within which Buddhist temples were built.[9] In addition, Ipoh has managed to maintain its reputation as one of the cleanest cities in Malaysia.[10]
Ipoh's location between Kuala Lumpur and George Town has made it a major land transportation hub within West Malaysia, with both the Malayan Railway's West Coast Line and the North-South Expressway cutting through the city. Aside from the land transportation links, Ipoh is also served by the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport.
Ipoh is known as the Hipster Capital of Malaysia by various tourism rating and official agencies.
IPOH CUISINE
Ipoh has a significant food scene with many hawker centres and restaurants. It has dishes derived from Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisine. Ipoh is well known Sar Hor Fun (Chinese: 沙河粉), a complete one-dish rice noodle meal with prawn, meat, fish, vegetables and a savoury sauce. Other well-known dishes from Ipoh include Hor Hee (Chinese: 河嘻), flat white rice noodles served with fish cakes and/or fish balls; Nga Choi Kai (Chinese: 芽菜鸡), chicken with soy sauce and beansprouts topped with pepper; Kai Shi Hor Fun (Chinese: 鸡丝河粉), rice noodles with chicken; Hakka Mee (Chinese: 客家麵), yellow rice noodles served with mincemeat (pork) sauce; Tau Fu Fa (Chinese: 豆腐花), soybean pudding; and Ipoh's well-known pastry Heong Peng (Chinese: 香餅), literally translated to "fragrant biscuit". The city is known in Malaysia for its Ipoh white coffee, in which the coffee beans are roasted with palm-oil margarine and the resulting coffee is served with condensed milk. Ipoh is also known for its fresh fruits such as pomelo, durian and seedless guava. Ipoh is the home of Ipoh nasi kandar or Nasi Vanggey.
In recent years, Ipoh has seen an increase in international restaurants, bars and gastropubs which have become popular with locals and tourists.
