If you’re looking for old-school baked goods to go with your cup of Ipoh white coffee, Nam Heong White Coffee Shop is the place to be. This humble kopitiam is one of the pioneers of Ipoh white coffee and the inspiration behind the now-popular Old Town White Coffee.
Nam Heong White Coffee is most famous for their freshly made Egg Tarts (RM2.70 a piece) — with their flaky pastry and creamy egg custard filling. This delicious treat is best enjoyed at the coffee shop itself. Of course, don’t forget to pair the egg tart with a cup of white coffee for an authentic Ipoh experience.
The queue for a table might be intimidating but thankfully, the turnover is pretty quick. This coffee shop is a must-visit if you’re planning a trip to Ipoh. Sure, they have Nam Heong White Coffee Shops in Kuala Lumpur as well, but to quote a friend from Ipoh, “It’s not the same when you’ve had the original one”.
