Sin Yoon Loong & Nam Heong White Coffee
Sin Yoon Loong / Nam Heong
One of the birthplaces of Ipoh white coffee. In an old-style tea house, a cup of white coffee roasted with margarine, paired with egg tarts, is a must-do.
Ipoh white coffee beans are roasted at low temperature with margarine, and condensed milk is added when brewing, giving a smooth and rich taste. Sin Yoon Loong and, across the road, Nam Heong are the two most representative old shops on Jalan Bandar Timah in Old Town. Sin Yoon Loong claims to be the birthplace of white coffee, while Nam Heong's egg tarts are equally famous. A cup of white coffee costs about RM3–4. Mornings are crowded, and most shops close around 2–3 pm. Both are within walking distance of the murals and Concubine Lane.
