Nam Heong (南香茶餐室) @ Ipoh Old Town

Nam Heong Restaurant is a well known kopitiam @ Ipoh Old Town.  Here, you must try their original White Coffee and silky smooth flat noodle (怡保雞絲河粉).

As for Hakka Mee and Char Koay Teow, nothing is so special.

Big Tree Foot (大树脚) @ Pasir Pinji, Ipoh

Next stop, 大树脚 @ Pasir Pinji, Ipoh.

Look at the banner below, the coffee shop has been operating for the last 40 years, wow. Look at the Yong Tau Fu stall, look like on promotion, some sort like buy one free one, he he. Just joking.

We ordered Ice-Blended Dragon Fruits (RM5), Ice-Blended Red Bean (RM3), some Yong Tau Fu with Koay Teow soup and Curry Mee (RM8), Chicken Porridge (RM2.30) and Popiah (RM1.70/pc). The one must mention here is Yong Tau Fu, very freshly made and taste very good. As good as Ampang Yong Tau Fu.

Kedai Kopi Keng Nam (Ipoh)

As I said before, I will be back to Ipoh for more foods. This round, we stop by at Keng Nam, along Jalan Raja Ekram. Here, you must try the curry mee and pulut kaya.

Instead of curry chicken or prawn as preferred in the North, here you have a combination of shredded chicken, char siew and seow bak. I must mention the curry gravy is very much better than those selling ordinary Yong Tau Fu in Ipoh.

The pulut aka glutinous rice is very soft and served with thick kaya paste. What a perfect combination. Almost every table ordered this. You can't go wrong, right?

Impiana Hotel, Ipoh

First of all, I am not affiliated to Impiana Hotel.

I stayed at this hotel on a recent visit to Ipoh. Impiana Hotel (formerly known as Casuarina Parkroyal Hotel) is located at Jalan Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah (formerly known as Jalan Gopeng). It is a 4 stars rating hotel with 200 rooms. Room rate at festive season at RM300 nett per room (Superior Deluxe room), sigh....

The likes: Very strategic location. Famous Ipoh's bean sprout chicken rice and Dim Sum restaurants just nearby. Ipoh Oldtown also not far away, good for those kaki makan like me. Nice and clean swimming pools (voted by my kids).

The dislikes: Very old hotel. While the exterior maintained well, not on the hotel room. Still with 21" CRT TV with blurred image, no CNN/HBO. Everything inside the room is aging liao... Observed exposed cables. Road noise, yup, my room facing the main road. Anyway, just for a night stay.....

Enjoy the photo. Still perfecting my photography skill with my newly purchased Nikon D90 DSLR camera, with Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 lens. To me, picture of perfect moment is priceless...

Lost World of Tambun (10-Sep-2010)

Lost World of Tambun, the hidden ancient city within Ipoh town. I thought we have found the lost ancient Mayan city in Ipoh, he he...

Ticket prices at RM38 for Adult and RM32 for Children. If book online, you get discounted price at RM32 for Adult and RM28 for Children. Immediately I got saved RM20 for whole family.

The weather is perfect and it is a great outdoor activity for the family.

As usual, the cameramen stands behind the camera :(

Walking to nowhere...



Nice, a mini Zoo to please the kids.










This is something I wanted to try for very very long time already. To overcome my phobia about cold and elongated reptile, i.e. the snake. Guess what, my wife and kids also touch the snake. Too bad, we still don't have the gut to touch the snake head.
