This longstanding establishment has earned its place among the must-try eats in Ipoh, consistently appearing on food guides as one of the city's top 18 iconic dishes. The stall specialises in hearty bowls of beef noodle soup featuring tender slices of beef, tripe, and handmade beef balls, all bathed in a sweet, daikon-infused broth that recalls the comforting depth of Japanese oden.
The menu centres on its signature beef soup, served either with flat rice noodles or dry, accompanied by a vibrant chilli sauce on the side. Diners can choose their preferred cuts and offal, with the beef balls being a particular standout mentioned by regulars. Operating primarily in the evening from around 6pm onwards, the stall draws a steady stream of locals and food pilgrims who know to arrive early for the best picks before items sell out.
For an authentic taste of Ipoh's hawker heritage, Sup Lembu Kay at Tong Sui Kai is an essential stop. Pull up a plastic stool, tuck into a steaming bowl of beefy goodness, and savour a dish that has nourished generations of Ipohites.

Good beef broth and noodles. A bit pricey, but I guess raw meat and the ingredients are expensive.
