The Gravy For Dip For Side Dishes

(The thick gravy is a perfect match with the side dishes. You should not miss this.)

Curry Mee + Bee Hoon

(The curry gravy is marvellous, the best in Malaysia and of course Ipoh. Not so milky taste which is great, course you won't feel bloated even though you whacked 2 -3 bowls. A bowl without meat is only RM 1.50)

Side Dishes

(MUST TRY: It goes perfect with the gravy dip dip above)

Kuey Teow Soup

(FYI, kuey teow produced in Ipoh is famous for its smoothness. Cannot find elsewhere in Malaysia. Only in Ipoh. The clear soup is so fantastic. Simply awesome combination with the smooth (wet wet) kuey teow.)

Front Liner Army
