Lou Wong Bean Sprout Chicken
Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong
The most famous bean sprout chicken shop in New Town, serving white-cut chicken with Ipoh's stubby, crisp bean sprouts and sar hor fun rice noodles. It is a representative of Ipoh's food.
Ipoh bean sprouts are short, plump and crisp because they are watered with local limestone groundwater. Paired with tender white-cut chicken and sar hor fun noodles, they form Ipoh's best-known “bean sprout chicken.” Lou Wong sits on a street corner of Jalan Yau Tet Shin in New Town, and On Kee across the road is equally famous. Chicken is priced by size, and bean sprouts can be ordered separately for about RM6 (prices vary, so check on site). It stays open until late at night, and queues are noticeable in the evening. From Old Town it is about a 15-minute walk across the Kinta River.
