To state the obvious, there’s loads of awesome food in Ipoh. The capital of the Northern State of Perak, which oozes a charming small town vibe despite attaining city status in 1989, shines particularly in hawker food. Even before its long overdue recognition as one of the world’s most liveable cities and the sixth most attractive Asian destination according to Lonely Planet, articles touting Ipoh’s best foods were easily available.
