Take A Break VIP Lounge

This cafe is located upstairs. I think Ipoh has learnt to accept that eating places that aren't at ground floors serve food that is as good, if not better, than those more easily seen. I must have visited it before it moved here. The ambience here struck me as loud. You either love it or hate it, but I think most patrons do return. The owners are two charming ladies. They love their teas, as witnessed by the tea paraphernalia tastefully displayed by one wall.

I didn't try the white laksa, possibly their signature dish. Instead I was curious to see how they combined laifun noodle with salad and olive oil, an innovation which I was not disappointed by. There was the usual Teh Tarik and white coffee. I liked the cempedak cake. It was so fragrant.

I'm not sure if food lovers have discovered this cafe, but it should be a stop on any eating list.

Quaint little space with a little gawdy interior. The cakes were scrumptious and had a home made flavor to them. I heard the creamy laksa was their specialty, but we were too full to order any mains.

Not easy to get here, but the foods here are nice. The owner is very attentive and welcoming us.

Food taste great
I like the beef Lai Fun noodle

relax place，every Friday have singer sing a song at there，very nice

Very best lakes in Ipoh.

Lovely people and welcoming spot. Good for a Friday night drink and sing a long.

A hidden gem... easily missed, though it’s exactly at the intersection of the busiest part of Ipoh Garden South‘s commercial area.
A warm and quaint eatery. Decorated with posters and pictures from around the world. You will have a difficult time selecting from a delicious array of original recipes; only found here, at Take A Break (TAB).
Must try their Ona Laksa! My children love their Chicken Stew, Roast Chicken and all their pasta dishes. My husband’s choice would definitely be from their noodle selection: green curry noodles (nothing like the Thais), yellow curry noodles, both of TAB’s lai fun dishes and he will always order their chicken salad!
What’s my choice then? Definitely the Ona laksa! I will order my coffee (black, no sugar) and later end my meal with a nice piece of fruit cake. Yummy!!
Do give TAB a try. Don’t trust me, experience it yourself!

Oh! And here’s a tip... drop by on Friday nights after 8pm for a wonderful surprise (Remember, ONLY Friday nights 🙃)

The restaurant has a kind of vintage aesthetic with decorations that are actually vintage. The food there is the best and the waiter there is very kind and polite
