Feeling hungry after enjoying the beautiful scenery of Taiping?

Well, how about have a try with the Taiping special dishes. Most of them are fine dishes that has the recipe upgraded from time to time ever since i was born so that it would fulfill the majestic taste of the visitors.

Some of the recommended restaurant is:

Doli

Doli, the legendary stall in Taiping, would be probably heard by you long time ago if you were a Koay Teow fans. This not a Char Koay Teow but a Koay Teow dish and there is a difference. What sets Doli apart from the other Malay KT sellers is the fact that they still fry on charcoal fire. And, their Malay KT is not wet. If you go to Taiping, the birthplace of KT Doli, this place is perpetually packed at night, every night. The Doli Uncle fries the KT behind the counter. If you observe carefully, his unhurried technique is quite different from chinese styled ones. Hence the *major* difference in taste profile. Also, he has to compensate for the lower charcoal heat. His technique is a bit different. After the noodles are fried, eggs goes in last and spread across the wok. 1 wok, max 4 pax only. Once done, it goes up on a lazy susan and ringed up for table delivery

Bismillah Restaurant

Another restaurant that should be visited is the Bismillah Restaurant in Taiping. The restaurant is a century’s old establishment, and has been around at this same building for close to 80 years now. Yes, count them, EIGHT DECADES of legacy.

Famous for their Roti Canai, and also serving Roti Telur, Thosai, Nasi Briyani, and the usual ‘mamak’ (Indian-Muslim) fares, this charming eatery should not be mistaken for that famous Bismillah Cendol on Jalan Barrack, although they are sharing the same name.
