What to do and see in Ipoh, Perak: The Best Shopping

March 2, 2022 Almeta Stockton

The British colonial city of Ipoh had humble beginnings, but has blossomed into a beautiful cityscape that marries old-world charm with modern amenities. This is a foodie's city, offering endless street stalls and restaurants all eager to serve up a sample of mouthwatering local fare. Walk it all off on a jaunt through breathtaking limestone caves that seem carved by the capable hands of a higher power.

Guan Heong Biscuit Shop

Reviewed By 225matthewn - Singapore, Singapore

This shop offers a wide range of local pastries though limited in tasting opportunities. We bought some assortment - their specialty being lotus paste with either pork floss or BBQ meats. Prices are reasonable. One should not leave Ipoh without buying their local specialties.

“Seong Man” is a teahouse (vegetarian & muslim-friendly) in Ipoh, Malaysia. A place where we share our love for local and oriental traditional art, crafts & cultures. It's also a space for art exhibitions and cultural events. We mainly serve tea and desserts (and meals on weekends). Calm and soothe your mind while enjoying your tea time at Seong Man, appreciate the beauty of oriental antiques and local vintage furniture.

22 Hale Street

Once an office, hotel, and home of many families, two shophouses built in 1900 fell into disrepair over the years. After an extensive conservation process, they have been given a new lease of life, and is now home to 22 Hale Street Heritage Gallery. Nestled in Ipoh’s historical enclave, 22 Hale Street connects the past with the present. Discover the history of Ipoh and her people in a fun and interactive way as you tour the galleries. Check out the products in the gift shop and bring home exclusive merchandise and publications. Also, on display are creative products and crafts by local creatives and social enterprises that 22 Hale Street aims to support. The gallery also has an event space open for rent where exciting arts and culture initiatives happen!

I booked this visit via Airbnb (because that's where I saw it first), RM 10 for a guided tour. I was led by two guides and they were both super friendly, knowledgeable and humourous. I learned about the history of Ipoh, and I got to see some great artwork on display in the museum too. Definitely would recommend this visit.

Miniature Wonders Art Gallery

We're promoting art and culture with our miniature figurine and scenery through more understanding about history.

Reviewed By AnnT364 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

From the moment we stepped into the place, we were taken in by these little scenes depicting the life and culture of the common people, soldiers and royalty from ancient China. All the figures are made from dough and the attention to details is simply amazing! The buildings and other structures are made from other materials such as cardboard, wood, plastic or anything that works. Very educative. Free admission to view the displays on the ground level and RM5 to see more upstairs. Highly recommended.
