Ipoh is famous for it's White Coffee which is actually brown in colour (instead of black). The lighter colour of White Coffee comes from roasting the beans differently. White coffee is very very aromatic and the taste can be described as incredibly smooth. It's one of Ipoh's must haves. There are a few famous places brewing White Coffee. The famous one I know is the Old Town White Coffee. My Ipoh friend brought me to this coffee shop called Sun Yuen Long (i.e. New Yuen Long) which is actually a branch of the old Sun Yuen Long coffee shop and I was quite impressed with the coffee.

If you understand Cantonese you might probably ask why isn't the branch called Sun Sun Yuen Long instead :)


There's a very interesting but short article on Ipoh White Coffee at Wikipedia. Check it out.
