3. Durbar Cafe at Federal Malay States (FMS)
Formerly, the FMS building was founded by Hainanese migrants in 1906. Patronized by Europeans and locals during the colonial days, the bar had its glory time but it could not continue its business due to high cost and decreasing patrons. But, Mr. Seow, a 40-year-old architect, with no experience in the food and beverage industry, decided to restore FMS with the owner, Mr. Lee. Seow had always wanted to give something back to his beloved hometown. Therefore, Durbar Cafe was opened, continuing the legacy of FMS Ipoh.
This cafe serves pork-free Hainanese and Western cuisines. The Oxtail Soup is 'must-try', together with the garlic bread.
