If you are looking for a new place to chill out along the famous food street (Jalan Yau Tet Shin) in Ipoh, there is a new player in the bean sprout chicken game. Lou Leong that stands diagonally opposite the most popular Lou Wong is a newly established restaurant, serving bean sprouts chicken rice and Yee Thye White Coffee in the heart of the silver state's capital.
Lou Leong @ Ipoh Food Street - opposite Lou Wong
Lou Leong that features bright yellow facade started their business recently. lt is an air-conditioned restaurant with see-through glass walls. When we were hunting for bean sprout chicken rice on a Sunday evening, a glance at Lou Leong was inviting. They had plentiful unoccupied tables, spacious in addition to the contemporary interior. I must try Lou Leong one day!

While the sight was a total opposite at Lou Wong, with many spies at work (to self-reserve tables), standing beside the occupied tables, rubbing shoulders with Lou Wong's waiter staff and fellow diners.

A quick gaze at their 'old' rival - Ong Kee Bean Sprouts Restaurant was similarly. According to our host, Ong Kee (or Onn Kee - typo error I guess) serves the chicken from the wild variety, or what the locals refer to as 'kampung chicken', hence the meat is slightly tougher (less tender) compares to Lou Wong that takes pride of the commercially bred chicken. Ong Kee offers two choices of dining atmosphere namely air-conditioned place (next door of Lou Wong) and open air kopitiam-style (right across the t-junction, mirrored of Lou Wong).

On top of a good tummy treat, Ipoh food street never let you leave empty-handed without treating your loved ones back home. Food goodies shopping is a favorite activity after tuck in. The bright pinky facade of Wan Li Xiang offers salted chicken and duck, made available for take away at this bustling juncture. Native biscuits (e.g. Heong Peng and Chicken biscuit), instant packed white coffee and plenty of tit-bits or finger food variety are for grab around every corner. Look out for the brightly lit up confectioneries as they welcome food-goodies hunters in the evening.

Arriving on weekend is a bonus, the night market or 'pasar makan' operators offer bargaining deals on the same stretch, boosting merriment to the young night!
