Ipoh Kopitiam
Malaysian
The line outside this small Malaysian café in Alhambra is the first thing you notice, and it doesn't thin out much once you're in. The menu is short and focused on classics: Hainanese chicken, curry with roti canai, kaya toast. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which feels about right for a neighborhood spot where the takeout tickets never stop piling up. Come with patience and without a reservation, because neither option exists.

Hainanese chicken
“The Hainanese chicken is the default order for good reason: gently poached, tender and served cold with a trio of sauces and a dome of seasoned rice.”

Chicken curry
“Chicken curry shows an ability to layer finely tuned spices and is best paired with hot, flaky roti canai, while simple pleasures like kaya toast underscore the kitchen's strength with classics done correctly.”
