Sin Lean Lee (Golden Char Kuey Teow) @ Old Town, Ipoh
April 2, 2008 | 7,339 views
On most days, when I run out of ideas on what to eat, I would order glutinous rice with kaya (RM1.40). The kaya is homemade, delicious, may be a bit sweet, but the flavour is pretty enticing. Serving may be a bit small, but would be enough for a light breakfast. The glutinous rice is slightly sweet, not too sticky, and just perfect with the kaya. Yummy ….
Other options include chee cheong fun (OK only) which they serve with the usual condiments, and curry pork skin, yong tau foo stall that sells pretty good beef balls, prawn noodle, and some other stuff I have not even ordered before. 😉
Location? Hmm, tough one. It is a corner shop occupying 2 shoplots on Jalan Bandar Timah/Jalan Panglima, in Old Town area. It is opposite of Kong Heng Coffee Shop, though not directly. Anyone who needs further direction is welcomed to ask. Glad to be of help. 
gosh! long lost dish in ipoh I think. We used to have great fried kew teow but I think not many left!

yeahla! nowadays pretty hard to find nice CKT in Ipoh la! compared to Pg ones, I think ours reli lacking. Sigh. The one in Woolley not bad, big portion, but tastewise not enough burnt(wokhei) taste.

yup, and a curry mee. also has the beef noodles + yong tau foo, and a CCF stall with pulut kaya. one of the most crowded place for breakfast, even more than Kong Heng or Thean Chun.
come public holidays or schoool holidays, you may have to wait for an empty seat!

Is the stall open on pubic holiday i.e. Good Friday?

Yes, except on major holidays, like CNY or Merdeka, you have to try your luck.
Just don’t go on TUESDAYS, for the shop is closed.

[…] if you’re in Kong Heng, go for the tea more than the white coffee. For coffee, hop over to Sin Lean Lee or Nam […]
Hi, bet you never tried the ngau lam fun at this place at the beef ball stall. It’s normally sold out b4 lunch time! So you gotta go early my friend!
