Opening of Kong Fu Kopitiam and The China Pavilion in Ipoh
On 8th January 2025, the historic Perak Ku Kong Chow Association building at 39, Jalan Panglima, Ipoh, played host to the official opening of Kong Fu Kopitiam and The China Pavilion.


Although both venues began operations in September 2024, this special event celebrated their facilities with a lively blend of tradition and community spirit.
A Spectacular Start
The celebrations kicked off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, graced by VIP guests Dato’ Sri Desmond Loh (Perak Chinese Chamber Of Commerce And Industry Adviser), Mr Chong Wei Lik (PCCCI Secretary General) and Datin Caroline Wong, alongside the proud proprietors of the two ventures.

The crowd was soon captivated by the double lion dance, with its pulsating drumbeats plus the clashing of cymbals, creating a sense of energy and excitement. To crown the festivities, firecrackers were set off, their bright sparks and loud crackles marking an auspicious start for both establishments.
