If you are a foreigner or first time visitor to Ipoh, YES! this is a great location to experience Ipoh. Yau Tet Shin St. is a famous street: Night vendors, famous Ipoh chicken and taugeh restaurants, shops selling pomelos, Ipoh snacks, souvenirs, etc lined this street to the next. The dark back lane has its share of interesting story. Ask any local to tell you. At Tuck Kee, there is a variety of fried noodles to try. Best go in a group so you can order as many types of noodles; Wat Tan Hor, Hokkien Fried Mee, Moonlight Noodle (a must try ), yellow noodles, etc . Though it is called a restaurant, the experience is much like a street hawker style - oily floors, crowded, table seating are extended out to the street, dirty plates and utensils are swept into a big 'trash' bin, servers who work hard at trying to keep up the orders and demands of customers, hence the lack of smile and friendliness. But then again, this is Ipoh.For locals, especially those coming from Selangor/KL, if you did not get a chance to try Tuck Kee, you did not miss anything really. There are many good ones in KL as well. For novelty sake, go for the Moonlight Noodle and Wat Tan Hor. The rest on the menu, nothing much to shout about.For die hards Ipoh 'Malis', as some have shared, it is not about how good the food taste but instead, how the food experience triggers off that part of your brain that brings out ol' memories of childhood days. And for some reason, you go 'hmmmm.... so goooood'.Tips: On weekends and holidays, go early about 6pm onwards. 7.30pm to 9pm is peak and looking for a car park space can take anything between 10 - 20 mins.
