Ipoh Kopitiam - Alhambra

I've been wanting to try the southeast Asian food here for so long, and I'm glad I got the chance to recently! They earned the Michelin bib gourmand award for a couple years. They're also all over social media. I think the fact that they're so popular makes it hard to get seated here, and their hours were hard for me to work with (they're closed Wednesdays).The restaurant is hard to spot because they're within a medical/business building. You have to enter the driveway from a busy street and then right away make a U-turn to park underground. There is a stairway that connects the underground parking lot with the upstairs.I was here with only one other person, so we were able to get seated quickly. Between the two of us, we started with the roti canai with chicken curry (the server convinced us that it tasted better than the roti canai without curry) and the kaya toast with butter (again, the server convinced us that it tasted better with butter). Both indeed were very tasty. The curry chicken with the roti may have been unnecessary though. Then I had the dry wanton mee w curry chicken N1 $13.95. This curry chicken was delicious with the dark meat. I think they were very generous with the amount of noodles. My eating partner's Singapore style hainan chicken rice R1 $14.95 was ok, she said. To me it seemed like there was not a lot of chicken, but it is their signature dish/best seller.I would come back to try their other dishes and perhaps what they call white coffee. I might skip on the toast in the future because that's not really a meal to me.

Fast service and good food. They have great lunch specials. Be sure to try their Hainan chicken and hot milk teaParking: Tricky to get to the parking lot but ample spots. Top and lower decks

Very good food with friendly service. The price is reasonable.

Great food for a reasonable price. Wait times will average between 20 to 40 minutes depending on how busy they are. Lunch times are busiest. Would recommend their toast as an appetizer and bring a few people to try out as many of their dishes. The staff were busy and the check in was organized. Make sure everyone is with you when they call your name or they will not seat you.

Been there twice! Would recommend anyone who would enjoys the Malaysian and Singapore flavor.
