The Old Town Coffee Face-Off : Sin Yoon Loong White Coffee vs Madras Coffee
April 30, 2009 | 497 views | 29 Comments »Old town of Ipoh is forever bustling with activities come morning until evening, a nostalgic part of Ipoh that’s far from forgotten, and no doubt a dream come true for all food lovers on a gastronomic trail; From north to south, and vice versa.
The one that started it all ….Previously, I blogged about Sin Yoon Loong white coffee, the oldest joint serving the now legendary white coffee of Ipoh. Though no doubt Nam Heong, or rather, Old Town White Coffee (those Kopitiam outlets that are mushrooming everywhere) is responsible for putting Ipoh’s white coffee on the map, both domestically and internationally.
The same old setting, albeit plastic chairs being used now, instead of those classic wooden ones from days of yoreSin Yoon Loong has been in business probably in my past life. Right until today, they’ve managed to retain the authenticity of their forte; the white coffee brew, a secret handed down from generations to generations.
Realise that having breakfast in Ipoh’s Old Town can be a stressful endeavour. Searching for an empty parking lot is one, while fighting for a seat is another. Thankfully, the row of white coffee shops consists of 3 shops in a row, and Nam Heong on the opposite side. So there is backup after all.
