Looking for a place for fine Chinese food, air-conditioned, elegant and good service in Ipoh? Look no further than Classic Dining Restaurant 玲珑轩!! (pronounced as Ling-Long-Xuan). This restaurant is rather new, probably less than 2 years, serving Chinese delicacies with a local twist. Outside the restaurant hangs with very big Chinese lanterns, and the interior is decorated with elegant woody furniture and antiques.
Me and my family have been here twice for both lunch and dinner which they serve the same menu. It is better to make reservation before coming to avoid disappointments. Haha.. During our first visit for dinner, we came here around 6pm with booking.
This dish below here is a GuangXi-dish, known as “Wu Tao Kao Yok”, braised-pork with yam. Strong flavored of chinese 5-spices (五香)

Indonesian-style Squid, spicy and fresh

Thai-styled Fried Fish fillet, this is by far the best and my favourite

The second time we went was for lunch, we made a reservation but was not necessary as there were not many people at that time. This round we tried to order something different to get a feel of their varieties.
Mixed-vege (Sei-Dai-Tin-Wong), stir-fried with garlic
Satisfaction level : ♦♦♦
Thai-styled Fried Chicken Fillet, super good – the sourish and spicy tangy taste can really bring up your appetite
Satisfaction level : ♦♦♦♦
Steam-Tofu with Choy Bou, to neutralized other stronger taste dishes
Satisfaction level : ♦♦♦
And finally, Sambal-Squid, simply awesome
Satisfaction level : ♦♦♦♦
Their tea cups are so cute !! This one looks like fish swimming in the tea..haha..XD
Overall Satisfaction : ♦♦♦♦
For both occasions, the bill costs slightly above RM100+ inclusive of drinks and taxes for the five of us, which I think is quite reasonable for the elegant ambiance, quality food & super good service.
