A plate of fresh tender kampong chicken, crunchy bean sprouts and a bowl of hor fun soup both fresh from Ipoh. That is all you need, to savour the authentic must-try Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken, a dish synonymous with Ipoh, an old town in Malaysia.

Affectionately known as ‘Nga Choi Gai’ in Cantonese to the food enthusiasts, Ipoh’s signature dish is famous among the locals and well-travelled foodies from different parts of the world. The secret for its fame and popularity lies in the originality and fresh, locally grown ingredients that looks deceivingly simple, yet distinctly scrumptious.
