Motormouth From Ipoh – Malaysian Food & Travel

This page is dedicated to Food Recommendations from the readers.
Yes, that’s YOU!!!

I am but a One Man Team; running this blog on my own, hence it’s near impossible for me to write about every single eatery in Ipoh, around Perak, or even food from the other states in Malaysia.

And that’s where YOU come into play. Drop me a comment on THIS page, or on the respective post that you feel compelled to comment about, and I will be glad to transfer over your recommendations to this page. (I shall also be seeking for recommendations from the All About Ipoh page on Facebook, to share with the other readers who are not fans of the page. Yet.)
