More than 5 years back, the shop operated under the name of Ipoh Central (中央). The shop was known for its 'chung', a glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves. Today, new name of restaurant is Chong Yong (中央).
It's a typical coffee shop serving the usual fare of Malaysian street food like chee cheong fun, fried noodles, wantan mee, nasi leamk, popiah, etc. Nothing special about the drinks. Good business at the 'lei cha' (擂茶) stall. This Hakka cuisine is grounded tea consisting of a mixture of tea leaves & herbs served with roasted nuts and grains.

A convenient place to buy steamed pau of various stuffing. Quality is assured as it is a branch of the well-known Yei Lock coffee shop, Jalan Raja Permaisuri Bainun (Kampar Road). This branch is not a sit-in restaurant. Just takeaway business. The shop is new and clean. Worth a visit if you are shopping in the vicinity of Pinji Centrepoint.

This shop serves a variety of noodles and rice dishes for breakfast and lunch. It made a name selling Hainanese curry noodles. You choose: curry-soup based or dry curry. Both noodles type come with chicken meat, roasted pork pieces and BBQ (char siu). To make your meal more enjoyable, there is an add-on option like long beans, egg-plants, bean curds and pork skin. Overall the spicy meal won't disappoint customers. What stand out are the fresh ingredients and add-on that accompany the curry noodles.
The shop also sells traditional, home-made dumplings (饺子 & 粽子) and soft bean curds (豆腐卜). All are frozen, vacuum-packed and ready as convenient takeaway. Good quality food products.
Decor aspect, pay attention to the 8 nicely framed posters of damsels dressed in cheongsam. Will make your visit memorable.

Liang Tang (然登) strikes you as a friendly neighbourhood coffee shop. It has overtaken and outperformed Swi Sang (瑞生) as an eatery shop in Ipoh Jaya. You come here for basic Malaysian food like HK chee cheong fun, curry noodles, wonton mee, Hokkien mee, vegetarian food, western breakfast food, etc. My favourite is the HK chee cheong fun. The Chinese fritter stall (汶记) is a popular one. Can get cripsy and good quality youtiao (油条), also known as Chinese fried dough.
Like coming to this shop on weekends. A prevailing relaxing atmosphere and a comfortable airy environment where time slows down for you to enjoy breakfast.
Rating: 3 & a half Star.

You would get a satisfying Chinese food meal here, simple home-cooked style. Taste of food is quite above average with no over-flavouring. Price is reasonable. No complaints.
