    This is a must order – slightly frothy, aromatic with pleasant intensity. Even though it is sweetened with condensed milk, I still found the sweetness level manageable.

    Nam Heong's signature foamy kopi (coffee with milk). This is the famous Ipoh white coffee. The white coffee had good body and its slight bitterness was balanced with condensed milk and sugar.

    This local coffee shop is most famous for their freshly made egg tarts and frothy Ipoh white coffee – this is one of our recommended places to try authentic Ipoh white coffee but it's not the only one.

    Absolute core memory unlocked ☕🔥 Wow as in WOW. Nam Heong is officially rent-free in my mind permanently! 🤯✨ We pulled up around 9:00 AM and joined the queue—only waited about 10 to 15 minutes to secure a table, which was honestly a…

    Nam Heong has always been the first spot I drop by upon arriving from KL every time. Their coffee is great, and the egg tarts are wonderful. There is a char kuey teow stall that is consistently good, but it was not as great on my latest…

    Nam Heong’s heritage beckons. Their legendary egg tarts feature a rich, wobbly, milky custard nestled in a warm buttery pastry. It paired perfectly with wok hey Char Kway Teow, silky Sar Hor Fun, and a tangy Assam Laksa.

    Above average price + below average taste + rock bottom service = Overhyped tourist trap. Please avoid at all cost. Any other kopi tiam will provide a better experience.

    Today I got takeaway from Nam Heong: egg tarts, shumai (baked buns), iced white coffee, and iced coffee (Yuenyeung). The total cost was RM19.60. Egg Tart: ⭐⭐⭐½☆ The crust was crispy and fragrant, and importantly, not too sweet.

    If you come on weekdays before 8am , will have more relak to enjoy the food. I have try the coffee, bread , egg tart and sai mai, I would say not bad. But not worth it you need to on long queue and squeeze with others

    Excellent food plus very efficient services. The kueh tiau soup, char kueh tiau, Tim Sum all taste delicious. Of course the hot 🔥 coffee is not to be missed. The iced coffee is even better. Enjoy

    White coffee is not bad tho not as good as oriental. Egg tarts have the consistency of agar agar but the crust is ok. Give it a miss. Other dim sum like siew mai and carrot cake are alright.

    Normally, they would ignore it, but some people will respond! The food was so-so, the service was so-so, the atmosphere was so-so, everything was so-so! The staff's attitude was terrible.
