Restoran Min Kee - Gopeng

Another nice eatery we discovered on our last day in Gopeng. However, after being in the restaurant for a while, I recalled having been there once many many years ago!

Steamed Herbal chicken. Very nice. RM7.00


I saw the roasted ducks and roasted pork as well so I ordered those too. Bad mistake!


Roasted duck. Dry and not very flavorful.


The siew yuk/roasted pork wasn't very nice either. The skin was quite hard and not crunchy.

RM7 for the roasted duck and roasted pork.

The bill came to RM24.40 including 3 plates of rice and 3 herbal drinks. Very good price.

I saw fish head curry too but we already ordered chicken, duck and pork by then and definitely no room for another dish! But I know I will stop by in Gopeng for this the next time I go up north!






Edit: 2nd visit to Min Kee

Grouper fish head curry, the thick and lemak type. RM27 for this alone, not including rice nor drink!!! Too pricey I think.

The flesh was quite tough. Overall, I think it's not worth the price.

Restoran Peng Yew - Gopeng

I came to know about this restaurant when I saw my friends posting food photos from this restaurant. I was particularly attracted by the Yong Lam Pou (mutton belly in claypot) and sambal petai (stinky beans). Unfortunately, both items were not available on the night of our visit :(

Stir fried snakehead fish fillets with spring onions and ginger. Really yummy stuff! RM36


Fish bone wine soup. The bony parts of the fish were deep fried and then cooked in yellow wine soup. RM7


Stir fried celery. RM8


Ham Yu Fa Lam Pou (Salted fish and pork belly in claypot). RM12


The bill came to RM79.90 including one large Tiger beer, one tea and 3 plates of rice.

Kin Hong Food and Drink center Gopeng

Kin Hong is located in Kopisan, Gopeng. We got there at 7am on a Thursday and the place was almost full!

Many varieties to choose from.




Hakka yong tau fu...many different varieties to choose from.





I found the yong tau fu really very ordinary. Nothing special at all.

We had lai fun to go with all the yong tau fu. The lai fun here was much thicker than the usual type but really soft. A little too soggy for my liking.

3 bowls of lai fun and all the other items you saw above came to about RM12.xx. Quite cheap. Drinks not included.

Chicken congee, Gopeng Food Court

I used to think that Gopeng (and Kampar) were ghost towns until recently, when a friend showed us around town to check out some eateries. It was a pleasant surprise to see so many hidden treasures in the little town of Gopeng. I know I will be skipping Ipoh when I travel up north again next time!

We had only two days and one night in Gopeng but we managed to try out a few outlets.

The first one was this chicken congee from the Gopeng Food Court near the wet market (?). A little raw but still very nice. Lean, flavorful meat.






There was no signage at this stall. Stall M21.


Only RM16.70 for 3 bowls of congee/porridge and the plate of poached chicken you saw above.

Location: inside the Gopeng Pasar /wet market.
