First Old Town Cafe in Ipoh

White coffee is originated from Ipoh in a tradition coffee shop at Old Town. This tasty local milk coffee is upgraded to fast food style cafe by the newer generation owner but started in Kuala Lumpur. Only some time later it is introduced in Ipoh. This is the first of its type located in Ipoh Garden Plaza. Now there are more than 5 branches in the city.
