When my brothers are in Ipoh, one thing is almost guaranteed — we eat! 😂 With everyone home, we went on our little family food tour around Ipoh, revisiting some of our favourite restaurants and discovering a few new ones along the way. Sushi Zento is everyone’s top favourite for celebration dinners, so of course…
