For over 30 years, Crazy Ice Cream and Salad House has been a beloved spot in Ipoh, weathering the pandemic and drawing locals and visitors. As one of the city’s first dessert and salad houses, it’s a place where diners who once came as kids now return as adults.
True to its name, the place is famous for its ice creams and fresh salads, but also offers a variety of Western and Chinese dishes, with standout Western set meals.
The Chicken Chop with BBQ Sauce (RM24.90 set; RM21.50 ala carte) is a must-try bestseller. Made with a special in-house recipe, the BBQ sauce perfectly enhances the chicken’s savoury flavors without overpowering it. Served with fries, corn, and greens, the dish is hearty and satisfying. The set meal, which includes creamy mushroom soup and refreshing iced lemon tea, is a fantastic deal at just RM24.90.
Another favorite is the Lamb Chop (RM38.90 set; RM35 ala carte). While it may look like a typical lamb chop at first glance, it’s actually exceptionally tender and flavorful, marinated to eliminate the usual strong aftertaste. Paired with a sweet and tangy mint sauce, it perfectly balances the flavors. Whether you choose the ala carte or set meal, it’s sure to impress.
If you’re in the mood for a snack or appetizer, the Crabstick (RM10.50) is a crispy, soft treat served with fries and mayonnaise, perfect for sharing. Another highlight is the Homemade Cheese Garlic Toast (RM13), with crispy toast, fragrant garlic, and melted cheese, paired with creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes for a comforting indulgence any time of day.
For something unique, try the Melbourne Coffee (RM15.90), a refreshing coffee float where vanilla ice cream balances the bitterness beautifully. Alternatively, if you prefer something fruitier, the Crazy Summer (RM13.90) is a concentrated watermelon juice that’s perfect for cooling off in Malaysia’s tropical heat.
No visit to Crazy Ice Cream and Salad House is complete without the Watermelon Ship. This vibrant treat features a watermelon base topped with ice cream, marshmallows, cookies, and waffles. Customize with three (RM19.90) or five scoops (RM21.90) in flavors like vanilla, chocolate, yam, and mint. Sweet, crunchy, and refreshing, it’s perfect for sharing with family or friends.
To make your dining experience even more thrilling, the restaurant is hosting a lucky draw! Spend RM80 for a chance to win prizes like Labubu vinyl plush dolls, Popmart blind boxes, and cashbacks. Spend RM160 for two entries. With school holidays and Chinese New Year approaching, it’s the perfect time to enjoy great food and festive fun!
