Diamond Kopitiam

The Yong tau foo is normal as the fish paste used probably added with enhanced flavour. Not even taste like real fish meat. Those fried liew is ok. Coffee is quite good and service is efficient

Regular customer since many years ago. Our favorite is the dry curry mee, it's comparable with those famous choice in the town. Ingredients tasted fresh & crispy. Ice blended red bean is refreshing & satisfying.

The kari meehoon kueh no more. So we order other dishes. It’s pretty tasteless and the fried stuff are a little hard.

Went there many times. I would usually order either their Laksa or Curry noodle with the side dishes. Their fried wantons are nice. Overall, services are fast. The shop is quite clean. No need to wait for long. Moreover, the drink section also serves ice shaved desserts.

Purposely drive another 20 mins extra from simpang pulai toll exit to here before heading to Cameron Highland. I think it is worth for the trip, they served tasty Asam Laksa/dried noodles/soup noodles/curry noodles with varieties of stuffed dishes. I like their taste and it is so tasty.

Overall: 2/10
Service: 8/10
Cleanliness:8/10

The fish meat is below average. The filling of the chilli fish meat is smudgy very disappointed. The Yong Tau Foo and the base noodle soup the broths is bland.

The cendol brown sugar the texture is gluey and the coffee a bit disappointing.

Famous spot for variety of stuffed veges and laksa in Menglembu. Usually crowded and may need to wait a bit for seats. Variety of iced are available too to counter hot weather.

Laksa tastes a bit diluted and not much fish flesh nowadays 😋 maybe it's late.

We came here following Google Reviews by local guides on our recent Ipoh Food Hunt in February 2022.

As Menglembu is one of our target areas, Kafe Diamond Kopitiam came up, and here we are! However, as we were already quite full from our last food hunt stop, we just ordered fishball from the popular noodle and "liu" stall, and the "die die must eat" recommendation rojak stall.

Fishball - just so so, not bad, but do not need to travel all the way to Ipoh or Menglembu to savour it. To be fair, we just ordered the fishball. Probably those reviews stating how good this stall is based on the whole package, i.e. noodles and "liu".

Rojak - this is the chinese fruit rojak version. If you are looking for the indian version, then wrong place. So is this rojak good? Yes, it is good. Fruits are fresh, and the crackers are crunchy hard (not easily crushed, as one needs to bite it a bit hard - it would have been better if it is less hard). What we like about this rojak, and probably what made it popular is that the stall owner is generous.with sprinkling of super tiny bits of dried shrimp. That adds to the umami of the whole rojak dish.

Verdict:
Blessed are the resident of Menglembu to have this kopitiam where they can frequent daily. As a visitor or tourist in Ipoh, if you so happened to be in Menglembu, yes, do visit and try out this kopitiam, especially the rojak.

We will not make a special trip to have the noodles or rojak unless we happened to be in Menglembu as this kopitiam did not make it to our "die die must eat" list.
