This is the oldest taiping food court, which located next to Taiping old wet market. Most of the local food still maintaining their standard. Price are very reasonable. A bit crowded during weekend or public holidays. However, worth it

Restaurant Doli

Reviewed By TShahrizam

I went to Doli Restaurant last month during my stay in Taiping. Surprisingly, the signature dish, the keuy teow was not that great anymore. In fact, the chicken rice actually tasted better. Even though the restaurant was once a must-visit place in taiping, but I guess, it has lost it's touches over the years and the foods were simply not that great anymore. But for those visiting Taiping, there is no harm trying this once-famous char kuey teow in Taiping.

Jia Yi Dao Vegetarian Restaurant

Reviewed By pianocello

This restaurant shares the same building with Soon Lee restaurant so we were initially confused when searching for this. Staff were also initially slow to respond when we asked for the menu. We ordered curry vegetables, butter prawns and asam fish. The visual presentation of the dishes could be better. Taste was slightly above average but not spectacular.

MJ's Cuisine

Reviewed By jeff1955malaysia

it is located along Kota Road near the District Office. they serve really good western food at very reasonable prices. the quality of the food is superb and the ambiance is soothing. Service is good and the staff are all attentive. Prices are high for taiping standards but in terms of quality it is worth eating.

Pusat Makanan Taman Tasek

Reviewed By IHumphrey

Just across the road from the stunning Lake Gardens is my favourite restaurant in Taiping. It has a modest collection of hawker stalls, but they are all of very high quality. I've sampled most of the stalls and I love them all. They are also absurdly cheap by Western standards. The Malaysian coffee (Kopi) with condensed milk is fabulous. I have to single out the seafood soup. Our girls loved the wonton mee and satay. But the chicken rice, laksa and everything else are delicious. I could have eaten here at every meal!

Restoran Kakak

Reviewed By Wingc633

This restaurant is very famous in Taiping. It has many good comments in tripadvisor, it was the main reason I visited there on 10 September 2017. I ordered its famous chicken noodle but I noticed that it had MSG added into it. It made me felt thirsty after taking it. My drink was a cup of milk tea, it was too sweet and not much fragrance of tea.I have not tried all of its signature food the noodle was quite disappointing.

Restaurant Light House Seafood

Reviewed By emptyreg3

The clams were fresh and juicy. Cooking method is just nice that the clams arent rubbery and retains it's natural flavour.The crabs were fresh and meaty. The chef prepared just enough for the two of us instead forcing us to buy the minimum 1kilograms (which usually is the minimum else where) and the owner is honest in the weight.The best is the seafood porridge. The portion for one is big! Lucky that we are starving and able to finish them considering we ordered porridge and noodles. Fresh chunky fish meat, three prawns (not tiny shrimps ). Perfect.Definitely recommended!

Larut Matang Hawker Centre

Reviewed By eddymaya

My lovely wife and I visited this hawker centre for lunch one day. It's crammed with food stalls and is popular with locals but we found that there wasn't as much choice as we'd expected as many stalls serve the same things. There were a number of dishes we'd read about and fancied trying that just weren't available e.g. tahu goreng, chee cheong fun, otak otak and gado gado. We did try popiah basah, a local speciality that's a bit like fresh spring rolls, which was pretty good. We then tried some mee kari, which are noodles in curry sauce served with prawns & sliced fishcake. This wasn't so good. In fact I'd say it was quite poor. I ended up throwing up half an hour later. Admittedly I has been feeling a bit off colour before lunch but I'm not sure this dish helped! It was quite fun looking around this place but given what happened I'm not so sure about the food hygiene. I wouldn't return.

Had a wonderful time here. Food was good. The ambience of the cafe was great. Overlooking a mini golf course. We were there at night so there was quite a lot of night animals coming out from the forest. Everyone enjoyed themselves here.
