When it comes to Ipoh, none is more famous than their chicken rice and those sweet, crunchy bean sprouts. While many places offers the same dish all over town, tourists and locals alike will often congregate around middle of new town for this dish over lunch.
ipoh pak kong chicken rice
One of such place that is favored by the locals is none other than Restoran Nasi Ayam Pak Kong, a stone’s throw away from the more famous Ong Kee (often packed with tourists).
The shop offers quite a good selection of dishes you’d often associate with chicken rice – roast chicken, steamed chicken, roast pork, bbq pork, bean sprouts, and some of the other dishes you don’t usually find at these sort of establishments, such as sambal petai, acar, spicy sour vege, and more.
chicken, pork, and most importantly, petai side dish
Prices at Pak Kong is more “local friendly” compared to the more touristy shops at the intersections, dishes here are very good as well, I particularly love their chicken (either version), and really lovely charsiu (bbq pork), the wild card here is their sambal petai, if you like them pungent and full of aroma, this is is not one you’d want to miss.
Roast pork and spicy sour vege would be something I skip the next time around and perhaps order a big plate of bean sprout instead. (and more of those petai!)

Tekkaus: good eyes!
I spy with my little eye…sambal petai!!! High 5, Tekkaus! LOL!!!
suituapui: hahaha I can agree with both of you.
i also can’t get enough of petai, so i’d get that plate of sambal. wonder if ipoh petai is sweeter and crunchier like ipoh bean sprouts are 😀

Jyoshna: this is a spam isn’t it? Hm.
Wanted to try this place on my previous few trips, but always long queue 🙁
Choi Yen: go early!
I see their style is to drench their chicken in lots of soya sauce here. Hope that’s not too salty. They’re also quite liberal with oil (I spy in the petai & vege dish). >_<
eatwhateatwhere: oh, definitely not too salty luckily, the petai yesssss
