After five years at Wolley’s Food Court, Vasudevan and his family have moved to the Ipoh Stadium food stalls, bringing along the same flavours that made them a local favourite.
Regulars who have missed their signature dishes can now find them right here, with the same dedication to home-cooked goodness.
This couple is back in action, keeping things running and making sure every dish is as fresh and flavourful as ever. “To all our regulars, you know where to find us now—STALL 49! Same food, same flavours, just a new spot!” says Radha.
Breakfast runs from 7 AM to 10:30 AM, so for those looking for an Indian breakfast, you can find a spread of thosai, puri, chapati, appam, and idly, all served with their tasty mint chutney—thick, full of flavor, and nothing like the watered-down versions .
All made on the spot by Grandma Letchumy.
Their Appam is another favourite here. Fresh from the pan, crisp on the edges, soft in the center, and served with generous amounts of sweet coconut.
Lunch kicks off from 11 AM to 2:30 PM, and as lunchtime rolls in, the stall gets even busier with familiar faces and new ones eager to dig into what made them famous — Rempah Chicken and Chicken Varuval.
The Rempah Chicken is crispy, golden-brown, and packed with their special spice blend, deep-fried to perfection, and topped with crunchy bits of fried onions and chilies. You’ll find yourself scooping up every last crispy bit.
Then there’s the Chicken Varuval—slow-cooked, rich, and full of fragrant spices. Both are best eaten with their signature Pandan Rice, and if you love some heat, pair it with sambal for an extra kick.
For something a little different, their Petai Chicken (RM4) is a must-try. Usually, Petai gets thrown in with Prawns or Ikan bilis, but here, it’s paired with spicy, minced chicken in a sambal that’ll keep you coming back.
For those looking for something meatier, try their Boneless Mutton (RM10)—melt-in-your-mouth tender, slow-cooked in a thick, flavourful gravy that’s perfect for soaking up with almost anything.
For just RM10, diners can enjoy a banana leaf meal—get four vegetable dishes, sides, and hearty curries. Depending on the day, you might get beetroot, stir-fried okra, or spiced potatoes. Papadum and rasam are available on request, because what’s a banana leaf meal without them?
Need a cool-down? Their Morru Ais (RM3) is the perfect balance to the spices—a refreshing probiotic yogurt drink that helps with digestion and keeps you feeling cool even after a heavy meal.
It’s all homemade, the way it should be.
And don’t be late – some of their best-selling dishes sell out before the afternoon is over!
Customers are encouraged to bring their own tiffin containers to cut down on waste.
And if you’re too busy to swing by, no worries—Nasi Pandan Stadium is on Grab, so you can get your favourites delivered right to your doorstep.
