"Ipoh Kopitiam in Alhambra is one of the few restaurants around LA specializing in Malaysian cuisine, and among dishes like beef rendang and kaya toast, one of their most popular items is a standout Singapore-style hainan chicken rice. You might not be able to pick Ipoh’s somewhat plain-looking version out of a lineup, but it’s got charm where it counts: the chicken is well-seasoned and perfectly poached until soft and supple, and the three dipping sauces on the side (chili, sweet soy, and garlic-ginger) pop with flavor." - sylvio martins, kat hong, brant cox
