Photo Sharing: My Trip To Ipoh - Perak

Hello my friends, it has been a really LONG while since I last updated my blog. I am not so much a photography enthusist that always carries a camera with me, but I try to practice my skill as much as possible mostly when I travel.

So because of the AH1N1 situation world wide, I have finally cancelled my trip to Bali, Indonesia last August. It was really sad not because I have lost the paid fare, it is more like I have lost an opportunity to travel to foreign country, which I normally do once or twice a year.

But with my very strong interest in travelling, I just gotta go some where, and that some where, happened to be Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. :)

I left Penang island on 22 Aug 2009 at around 9.30am from my house. Since I am travelling via Jelutong Highway, I stopped by to take my breakfast with my wife. We ordered our usual Fried Koay Teow, and a Wan Tan Mee. We took around 2 hours+ to reach Ipoh by car.

This trip was supposed to be an easy, and relaxing trip. It involved trying out delicious local food and also visiting some of the local attractions there. We finished our lunch somewhere in town, and we went to a few caves and temples. After that, during nite time, we went off to find a nice place for our dinner, it is a placee called Kok Thye Restaraunt somewhere near Jaya Jusco. The restaraunt was recommended by my friend so we dined there ordering 4 dishes : Steam fish (700g), salad pork rib, XL prawns, and a big bowl of see weed soup. :) It was a nice dine, but we ended up too full with the food we ordered. :)

Ipoh also has the ever famous (it is sweet and delicious) pamelo. The price ranges from RM6 to RM12 each, depending on the size. Not to forget the Green House tofu fa. Note that it has moved to a new shop also at town central. We did not try any of the hor hee, hor fun, chicken rice, and stuff because we have taken them before. We did try a few other dishes like sweet and sour prawn rice, pork rib wan than mee, roasted pork chee cheong fun etc. They are all near town central. Also, you may find the portugese egg tart at Genting (not the casino :)), and also the normal traditional egg tart at town central. Next time, I will take a few photos of the food there so that you can have a nice "finger licking good" feeling...hehehe...:)

OK, let me stop here. I am enjoying my cup of Coffee Bean hazelnut latte now, dont want to waste that moment to write too much...hehehe...hope you like the photos. I upload just a few first, will upload more later. See ya and do drop by again and leave me a comment.
