My Favorite White Coffee Shop - Sin Yoon Loong

Sin Yoon Loong 新源隆 coffee shop is my favorite place for breakfast & lunch. This is a typical traditional Chinese coffee shop in Malaysia. Being one of the origins of the well-known Ipoh white coffee, its taste is hardly found elsewhere. Three more neighboring shops are also selling good white coffee making this area (southern Leech Street, or Jalan Bandar Timah, in Old Town) a famous spot for white coffee. The best thing is we can enjoy different foods from nearby shops without restriction (except drinks). If you visit Ipoh without having a cup of white coffee here, that’s not a complete trip :-)
