"Okay for me — as for my taste buds, it was alright. Could’ve been better. It was a very nice place, super Ipoh santai style, which I love so much. The coffee is incredible — Vietnamese coffee and Ipoh white coffee. Sedapppp.

Also ordered mee kicap, mushroom soup with garlic bread, and mee kari. The curry was a bit lacking. I mean, it was still good, but I probably wouldn’t give it 5 stars for that.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. Such a nice innovation for the Vietnamese coffee — yeah, you can tell I’m excited >"

"Went to Silibin Cafe to try the famous Ipoh Mee Kicap for breakfast. Shop was packed with customers, have to wait at the waiting area outside for several minutes before allotted my table. First time having Mee Kicap, nice taste especially when mixed the set curry. Also took the Vietnam Coffee, first time served a table drip coffee."

"The coffees are really good and they do a variety of local and Vietnamese coffees.
Has many local usual favourites on the menu, generous portion, unpretentious and just wholesome.
Will return to try the other items on the menu.

"It's a great breakfast spot if you're in the area! The portion sizes were generous and definitely worth the price. I ordered the Roti Banggali with curry chicken, Nasi Impit with kuah kacang, and Lontong — all were flavorful and satisfying. The hot milk tea and hot coffee were a nice complement to the meal.

Service was fast, and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. Overall, it’s a solid choice for breakfast with a good variety of local options. It's definitely worth a visit!"

"Came in on a Monday morning during the start of the school holidays. The place was packed, and we had to wait outside for about 10-15 minutes before we could dine in. Although this system could probably be improved because they really rely on whether the customers are honest enough about saying that they arrived first, second, and so on. Maybe they could implement a queue numbering system, or at least a simple clipboard outside to keep track, since their restaurant is quite popular.

Between three people, we ordered 4 things to share — nasi impit kuah kacang, roti benggali with kacang pool, roti benggali with chicken curry, and garlic bread with mushroom soup. All of this amounted to about RM45 including drinks, which I think is quite reasonable, as the portions were moderately sized. We did not have to wait long to get our food, despite the restaurant being packed, which is very good and efficient of them.

The first three items were delicious and I’d definitely recommend them. The roti benggali was buttery, soft, and fluffy. The chicken curry and kacang pool tasted rich and flavorful. However, the mushroom soup set was quite lacking, and was the most expensive thing out of the four things we’d gotten—so probably not really worth the try.

All in all, the food was good, and I would come again. Maybe focus more on the local offerings instead of the more western ones."
