Ipoh Garden Malaysian Cuisine

We have been to Ipoh Garden quite a few times over the years and the food has been consistently good. My favorites are Kang Kung (water spinach), okra belachon, roti canai, and basil chicken. The food is very flavorful without being too salty. The coconut rice was a great accompaniment to balance out the flavors. The char kway teow isn’t quite as tasty as the ones I’ve had in Malaysia but it’s pretty good. The service was super friendly. They are very honest with how much you should be ordering because they talked me out of ordering too much. It was busy but they were hustling to make sure everyone was attended to. The restaurant is clean with murals from the Penang street art. There is parking on the street and across the way in a lot. They take credit card but there are signs that they prefer cash. Definitely a great place to go for Malaysian food!

We tried the popular dishes here. They have the best hainanese chicken in the area. I'm surprised as this seems to be a fusion restaurant while a Chinese restaurant nearby specializes in this dish. The sauce for this dish was spot on. The meat was still moist and tender. Roti Canan is another highlight. I like the texture. Charkoay Teow was just ok. Okra is the disappointment. Its shrimp paste sauce was truly underwhelming. They prepared the okra correctly but sadly the sauce didn't make it stand out. Nice setting overall but the air was stuffed with the cigarette smell.

Great food great restaurant. From a Malaysian perspective, this place is decent. Great Kangkong belacan, laksa was a bit disappointing but not too bad. The sambal they provide me at the side was not sambal. But I will give you a pass.
