F.M.S. Bar (Ipoh)

Malaysia / Perak / Ipoh
 restaurant  Add category
Founded in 1906 by a Hainanese immigrant, "The F.M.S", an acronym for the Federated Malay States, was the archetypal European miners' and planters' bar. Reputed to be the oldest restaurant in Malaysia, it has occupied the present premises since 1923, with a hotel upstairs.

Today, it is operated by fourth generation proprietor Pang Chee Ein, "Nephew" of the late "Uncle" Cheam Yeow Toon, as they are known to regular clientele. A new heritage cafe serving Hainanese food has replaced the hotel above the bar.
