New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice is a long-standing eatery that has been around since 1977. With decades of history behind it, this spot has built a reputation for serving comforting, authentic Ipoh-style chicken rice that keeps generations of customers coming back.

The poached chicken is silky and tender, the rice is fragrant with chicken broth, and the condiments—chili sauce and ginger paste—bring the whole dish together beautifully. Their roasted chicken is equally popular if you prefer a slightly bolder flavor. To complete the true Ipoh-style experience, their crunchy bean sprouts are a must-order side.

What makes this place special is its consistency. After all these years, the flavors remain true to the essence of good chicken rice—simple, hearty, and deeply satisfying.
