What And Where To Eat In Ipoh, According To Joel Choo

The Titoudao star says Ipoh hor fun “is the most underwhelming dish" in Ipoh.

What And Where To Eat In Ipoh, According To Joel Choo

Think Ipoh is all about Ipoh hor fun and white coffee? Think again. In fact, if you ask Joel Choo for food recommendations, he’d tell you to skip it. “It is the most underwhelming dish Ipoh has. I was actually expecting a lot from Ipoh hor fun but it just tastes like hor fun in a broth. There’s nothing special about it,” the 25-year-old tells 8days.sg. Oops.

Well, the actor should know. He spent more than three months up north filming Mediacorp drama Titoudao: Inspired by the True Story of a Wayang Star, and when he wasn’t working, the self-professed foodie was eating his way around Ipoh. He shares with us his recommendations on where and what to eat, including Ipoh hor fun, you know, in case you really want to try the town's eponymous noodles.

Can you really sleep anywhere at Changi Airport? A recent photo showing several people sleeping on the floor at Changi Airport sparked discussion online, with many wondering whether it’s actually allowed. So we asked Changi Airport directly. According to Changi Airport Group, passengers may rest or sleep at the airport, but they should do so in designated rest areas and seating zones, and in a way that does not obstruct walkways, public spaces, airport operations or the movement of other travellers. Airport staff may approach passengers and ask them to move if they’re creating an obstruction or safety concern. Changi Airport also offers designated Snooze Lounges in the transit area and transit hotels for passengers with long layovers looking for a more comfortable overnight stay. Here’s what you need to know before planning to catch some sleep at one of the world’s busiest airports ✈️ #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #Singapore #ChangiAirport #Travel

Remember when Singapore flags seemed to fill almost every HDB block in the lead-up to National Day? A recent social media post showing an HDB estate with almost no Singapore flags on display got people wondering if hanging the national flag has become a fading tradition. Curious, we decided to check a few HDB blocks ourselves. In some of the estate we visited, we could count the number of Singapore flags hung per block on one hand. Of course, displaying the Singapore flag has always been voluntary, and our observations aren’t representative of every neighbourhood in Singapore. But it does raise an interesting question: are fewer Singaporeans choosing to put up the flag today, or does it simply feel that way? With National Day approaching and Singapore celebrating SG60, we explore why the simple act of hanging the national flag still sparks conversation. What does your HDB block look like this year? Are your neighbours flying the Singapore flag, or has this National Day tradition quietly changed over time? #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #NationalDay2026 #NDP #SingaporeFlag
