The Nanyang Experience at Home
Just a few days after my flight back from PPS, I took a rest from hospital obligations and found my self lying on my bed as I scrolled endlessly through posts on my feed. I then stumbled on a video of chef Elizabeth Haigh (Uncle Roger’s Auntie Liz) as she takes on Malaysia’s National Dish in her Michelin-starred kopitiam in Central London. It instantly lit my hungry brain up and switched my phone to the Grab app.

Ipoh Kopitiam, 1411 S Garfield Ave, Ste 104, Alhambra, CA 91801
Ipoh Kopitiam sure is popular, perhaps because there are so few Malaysian restaurants in the area. The owner is from Ipoh, Malaysia. The menu includes Malaysian and Singaporean food, including kaya toast, roti canai, rice dishes (Hainan chicken, nasi lemak, beef rendang), noodle dishes (wonton mee, prawn mee), side orders, and drinks (including Malaysian white coffee, Malaysia black coffee).
Singaporean curry laksa ($15.95): round rice noodles of medium thickness, curry broth, fried tofu puffs, sliced fish cakes, two huge head on prawns, 1 hard boiled egg, bean sprouts. The broth is medium spicy and deep with the flavors of lemongrass, galangal, and shrimp paste. Everything was tender and slightly sweet, including the prawns, egg, tofu, fish cakes, broth, etc. I think the ingredients are better at Ipoh Kopitiam but I prefer the laksa at QQ Kopitiam in Pasadena – it seems more complex.
Malaysian white coffee ($3.95): similar to Vietnamese iced coffee, strong but sweet (it contains condensed milk), not as strong as Vietnamese iced coffee though
The space looks nice – new, clean, and bright with white walls and color pictures of hawker stalls. You can check in on the iPad by the entrance. There are parking spaces behind the restaurant and also in an underground garage.
4 out of 5 stars.
