Larut Matang Hawker Centre
Medan Selera Larut Matang
Taiping's most popular long-running hawker centre, where char kway teow, satay, cendol and other local snacks are gathered in one place.
Larut Matang Hawker Centre sits in the heart of the old town and is Taiping's best-known food centre. It is divided into Chinese and Malay/Indian sections, with stalls open from breakfast through late-night supper. Must-tries include char kway teow, Hokkien mee, chee cheong fun, satay, roti canai, cendol and red bean ice. They are cheap and generously portioned. It is busiest in the evening, so come after strolling the old streets or visiting the night zoo. Stall hours vary, with some serving only the morning or only the night market, and rest days are not uniform, so bring cash.
