Night Shift in Ipoh: An Overtime Escape with Signature Pebbles & Tasty Bites
Located on the ground floor of Wisma Ehsan, just on the edge of Little India in Ipoh, Night Shift isn’t just another restaurant and bar—it’s a space built on friendship, flavours, and fresh ideas.

Opened on 9th January 2025 by three childhood friends from Ipoh, this establishment is more than a business; it’s these young entrepreneurs’ way of keeping their brotherhood strong while sharing their gastronomic passion with the community.

A Game-Changer for Toddy Lovers: Signature Pebbles
Undoubtedly, the highlight of Night Shift Bar and Restaurant is its Signature Pebbles from the drinks menu. This collection of toddy-based beverages is unlike any toddy available in Malaysia, possibly even the world, as they are uniquely crafted by one of the founders of Night Shift.
Toddy is a traditional fermented coconut sap that’s naturally rich in probiotics. In its original form, it’s a flat, mildly alcoholic drink that’s typically enjoyed in rural settings. It’s made by tapping the flower buds of coconut palms and allowing the liquid to ferment, resulting in a subtly tangy and slightly sweet drink.

At Night Shift, however, toddy gets a modern makeover. Using a draught system and kegs, the drink is chilled and carbonated, similar to how beer is brewed and served. The result? A crisp, refreshing twist on an age-old tradition.
The Exclusive Signature Pebbles Line-up
Each Signature Pebble creation blends toddy with fresh juices, soda and other secret ingredients, resulting in a one-of-a-kind flavour experience.

Here are some of the standout options:
– A bold mix of toddy and ginger, offering a punchy, warming kick, making it a top seller.
– A tropical delight that combines toddy with fresh mango for a smooth, fruity finish.
– A citrus lover’s dream, blending citrus, tangerine, and assam for a tangy, vibrant taste.
– A lively concoction of toddy and fruit punch, bursting with fruity goodness.
– A daring fusion of toddy and Guinness, creating a deep, robust flavour with a malty twist.
Exclusively available at Night Shift, these drinks offer a fun alternative to traditional toddy, appealing to both men and women who love something uniquely different.
Want hot drinks like kopi, teh tarik, Milo and similar? Sorry, they are not available here.
A Diverse Menu with an Asian and Western Touch
Night Shift doesn’t just impress with artisanal drinks—it also serves up a delightful mix of Western and Asian cuisine, crafted by a local chef from Ipoh with five years of overseas experience.
The restaurant’s pork-free kitchen ensures a variety of dishes that cater to different preferences.

One of the must-try specialities is the Devilled section, a Sri Lankan-inspired selection of food that look spicy and fiery but surprisingly balanced in heat, rendering them acceptable to all spice levels.
During our dinner yesterday, we ordered several dishes, including:
– Comforting, hearty, and perfect for warming up.

– Crispy, addictive, and packed with flavour—a top pick!

– Deep-fried buns that’s simple yet satisfying.

– A fresh, no-fuss option that hits the spot.

– A nostalgic, crispy chicken dish smothered in rich, savoury sauce.

– Expertly cooked, tender, and beautifully seasoned.

– A classic dessert, yummilicious.

To accompany our meal, we opted for their fresh juices—watermelon and carrot, both served without sugar or ice, preserving their natural sweetness.
A Place to Unwind and Connect
The name Night Shift is a cheeky reference to “overtime”—a spot where people can linger long after work, enjoying great food and company as if they were still busy at the office. Teehee!
