...& Ipoh

(continue from previous post)

Around 12.30am, we left for Ipoh town... using the old road, it's jam the whole way cause is lunch time... we spend our time turning here and there.. after that we decided to park our car and walk... it's easier to look for the shops... we saw the famous 'Yim Kuk Kai' (Salted Chicken) and bought 1... they dont have places to eat there, only take away... then we walk to the 'Lou Wong Nga Choi Kai' (Bean Sprout Chicken Rice)... we order half a chicken and ate the salted chicken there...

A mountain of tauge... normal only lo...

The chicken also is normal... nothing much special...

This is the salted chicken... it's kinda small thought... erm... it's salty lo... hahaha... like that lo... after that we walk around the town and have 'Tau Fu Fa'... biasa only... I prefer Melaka one where we have it with ginger soup... I think only Melaka have it...

Later, we decided to go to the 'Pi Li Tong' (Perak Cave)... it's actually a temple build in the cave...

At the entrance, you'll see this wording which is 'Pi Li Tong'...

In the cave, there are paintings on the walls... some are huge and some are moderate...

When we reached there it's already passed 4pm... and there are closing the place... the dont allow people to climb to the top dy... so we might al well just took some photos around...


There's also monkeys running around the temple...

This is the outside of the temple...

After that, around 4pm, we decided to head to the infamous Old Town White Coffee... you cant leave Ipoh without trying the white coffee isnt it...

This is the original white coffee... it's an old coffee shop... the white coffee there is really aromatic and 'kao'... no wonder they're famous for it... it's really nice unlike any other...

They also have the cold one... it is different taste from the hot one... the cold one have more milk in in... I ordered the hot old... like that only could taste the originality mah... hehe...

After having some coffee, we decided to look for dinner... it's already around 6pm that time... we wanted to try their Curry Mee but the shop closed dy... so we drive around searching for food... then we stopped at a hawker like place to have dinner... most of us called the Hor Fun... Ipoh famous for it, isnt it... not bad la, I guess... after dinner we went back... and it rained the whole way...

The trip was tiring of course... but it was fruitful la... in a way... at least we tried the chicken rice, salted chicken and also the white coffee... maybe next time we could have another Ipoh trip... no more gua... just makan makan and jalan jalan... neway, thanks guys...

Time passed so freaking fast...
