Restaurant Lou Wong Tauge Ayam Kuetiau49, Jalan Yau Tet Shin,
Ipoh, Perak.
Open 5pm to 2am (until 3am on Saturdays and public holidays)
Days off not fixed.
Lou Wong is known for its chicken rice and hor fun with blanched bean sprouts (some locals, however, dismiss it as an attraction for “tourists”.) There are two other competitors on this street, no doubt getting a lot of the spillover business when customers cannot get a table at this hugely popular joint. Business is bustling every night but service is fast and diners don’t linger.
The chicken rice is very good – flavourful and fluffy, with well-greased grains. They only use tender meat of the free-range woo soh kai (a kind of chicken), and this is flavoured with soy sauce and garlic oil. The taugeh (bean sprouts) are fat and juicy, and side orders include fish balls and meat balls in soup.

The slightly oily hor fun is slippery smooth, a quality much appreciated by the Cantonese diners. Overall, the food here is very tasty – but the MSG and the greasiness can get to you after a while. Lou Wong has recently opened an outlet in Sunway Mas, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
