Founded by Mr Yan Khoon Yin in 1977, the shop in Jalan Gasing introduces the speciality of Ipoh, Bean Sprout (Nga Choi) Chicken to PJ folks and has since made a name for itself. It now occupies four shop lots with seating arrangements on both levels. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is friendly and efficient. They have branches at:

• No 1, Jalan 13/149L Bandar Baru Seri Petaling
• No 25G & 25A (Level 1), Mid Valley City
• Lot 10 Shopping Centre Lower Ground
• Kota Damansara, Dataran Sunway

For our party of 6, we ordered the poached chicken, bean sprouts, meat ball and fish ball soup, chicken liver (for my hubby) and from their new menu, char siew and fried siew yok. The gentlemen ordered the aromatic rice while we ladies, had Ipoh Hor Fun. I was actually undecided between rice and hor fun!

Poached Chicken

The poached chicken is served with soy sauce, cucumber slices and spring onions. The chicken skin is so soft and the meat is very tender. The cucumber soaked in soy sauce is crunchy and tasty. Great with the aromatic rice and Ipoh Hor Fun.

Chilli and ginger sauce

One very important thing at any chicken rice places is the quality of it’s chili sauce and in this regard, New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice did not disappoint. Apart from chilli sauce, they also provide ginger sauce to go with the poached chicken.

Ipoh Bean Sprouts

The bean sprouts (delivered daily from Ipoh) are blanched and served with the same soy sauce as the one in the poached chicken. Short and crunchy, topped with shreds of scallion, Chinese celery and a smidge of fresh chili, they’re utterly delicious.

Fried Siew Yok

Siew Yok is fried with spring onions, some chilli like sauce and black soy sauce, very tasty.

Char Siew

The Char Siew is so so only. The meat is a little hard. Siew Choo commented that her home cooked char siew taste better :) Both the fried siew yok and char siew is best eaten with rice instead of with hor fun soup.

Fish Ball Soup

Meat Ball Soup

The meat ball is very "springy" (tan nga) while the fish ball is so so only. Both the meat ball and fish ball soup is too sweet for me. Wonder whether the sweetness is from the chicken soup or added with msg. I was very thirsty after the meal.

Ipoh Hor Fun

Did not regret choosing Ipoh Hor Fun (kuay teow soup) over the aromatic rice. The hor fun is very smooth and tasty.  

Our total bill came up to RM142.00 including drinks and a takeaway Ipoh Hor Fun with chicken.

Better to order less dishes to start and if need be, add on more later as the waiter is not able to advise whether one have ordered too much. We ended up with lots of poached chicken, fried siew yok and char siew left-over and had to ask for takeaway.
