Yum Yum is unique in that it serves Nyonya food consistently well over years, in a lovely restaurant full of character (reflecting its owners), and the service is fast and friendly. The food is awesome esp the pandan chicken (my son's favourite food), and fish head curry enthusiast will be satisfied totally with their offering. The Mango salad is refreshing,... More

This was among the best restaurant experiences we had on our 5-week trip in Malaysia. Along with Fu Tien, this was the best in Ipoh. The service was fast, friendly and sincere. It was easy to get recommendations and help with the menu. Even the vegetarian was satisfied, as the waiter was understanding and proactive with suggestions. They serve Nyonya... More

Food here is generally quite good. It's Chinese mixed with some Nyonya influences. The outstanding dishes are the pandan chicken (sold per piece) and yong chow fried rice (which has that traditional yong chow taste and wok hei). On Fridays they have a very nice Nyonya laksa set, which is delicious and value for money.

We went there for dinner. The pandan chicken was outstanding but the rest of the food was forgettable. My relatives in Ipoh strongly recommended me to eat their set lunch which consists of Siamese laksa, but there was simply no space in my stomach for all the delicious food in Ipoh.

A group of us had lunch at Yum Yum and it was a Friday afternoon. They have their regular set lunch (only on Friday) and also house special. We decided to try their Siamese Laksa (to be shared) and their special asam pedas golden promfet, mango salad, fried terung, prawns, sambali kangkong and chicken curry. The good is really beautiful... More

I went there with my wife and daughter and had a lovely dinner. The food is interesting and slightly different to 'normal' Malaysian food. There are lots of great places to eat in Ipoh and this is one of them. The bill was less than RM50 for 2.5 of us (my daughter is 18 months old so doesn't eat too... More
