let me tell you this short journey. a journey of travelling Ipoh with with the Taylor's University Orientation Leader aka tuol2013 :)
we departed at 6:30am to our first destination which is
Sungkai Hot Spring. thank you to waze that provide right direction to the place. is super cool apps :] we reached at 8am. it took only 1.5 hours from PJ area. i spent RM12 to enter (this is why i dislike being adult coz i have to pay the most expensive entrance fees :P). there are lot of things you can do here ! tips: the earlier you came, the lesser people you will see and the more you will enjoy the moment.
we continued the trip to Ipoh. we had to drive another hour to reach ipoh. the first place that we attacked is the Onn Kee (Tauge Ayam) ! is basically the chicken rice that originally come from the town ! i rank it 9/10. i never taste chicken rice like this before...
and within 5 minutes walk, we reached the famous
Funny Mountain Soya Bean. they are famous with their Tau Fu Fah and Soya Bean :) its too famous and its over rating in internet. in the shop, there is a board written this "we open from 1030am till sold out". the business just too good... the tau fu fah texture is so smooth and easy to digest. it tastes so good until yekai and leo finished their third bowl of tau fu fah :D
we dropped by to
kedai teh Purple Cane Tea House. is just opposite the tau fa fah's place. it looks like an office building but don't judge it from its cover. is really pretty and cooling inside. thankfully jie yan introduced this place. the sun is just too hot and i need to rest my legs too. from that moment, my friends started to give each other IQ questions till the end of our trip and the questions are not easy. i still can't forget mok and yekai serious face when getting this question and think hard for the answer. they really can answer the questions. so unbreakable. but there is one IQ question from trecia that no one can get the answer. i believe, no one can answer it :D
next stop !
Ayam Garam Aun Kheng Lim. is a take-away kind of chicken and it taste salty (as it say ayam garam in the title xP). one of the famous food in ipoh. you should try coz this is one of a kind. 9.5/10. they pack it nicely in a box if you travel far and the price is affordable. RM 17 per box. just need to re-heat it when reach back home.
after bought some snack to bring back home, just a few blocks away, there is a street called as
Ipoh Mural Art. a street that full of drawing on the wall. finally i can stop eating for a while and just took some photos :) at the moment my tummy filling with joy instead of food :P
well, Jie Yan never gave up to feed 9 of us. she tried her best to do any possibilities to let us eat and eat and eat. so, she went to take-away some of the best kaya-puff, curry-puff and portuguese egg tart to the car. we had to eat it in the car because when the car stopped, we arrived at another destination to eat again...
대박 ! (meaning: awesome)
it is about 6pm when we reached
Ipoh Tuck Kee. they have varieties of noodle and this is my favorite because i love noodle. we ordered wan tan horfun, yu kong hor, hokien mee, braised mushroom chicken feet, and baby octopus in soya milk. they are all recommended ! rate this place 10/10 !
after that meal, i can tell that half of us were showing "i will not survive" kind of face. haha ! all the shops and foods are located in one area that we don't need to walk so much. it is a good and bad news. good thing is that we don't need to move the car and bad thing is that we dont burn the fats inside yet we didn't stop eating
this is another food that i ate. ice kacang ! i am lost here, i don't know where they brought me to. i just blindly sit in car and let them bring me to the next destination haha xD too full make me can't think.
last but not least ! jie yan's family brought us to
Hillview cafe where they had really nice coffee, rojak, satay and etc. it is a kopitiam. i rate this place 9/10. i don't have any picture of it because the place is outdoor and it was dark. unable me to take any photos hix. but i promise, it tastes good (although i don't eat all, but i can tell from my friend's face reaction). is so funny to see the boys eating all the food without complaining coz jieyan's parents treat us for that meal.
i had really a great trip ! we ate non-stop from 1pm up to 9pm. i really respect with kenny and tong-yang who gave us a safe ride till we reach back home. i thank to jieyan the ipoh girl who want to spend her time to bring us around and feed us with good food. lastly, i thank to the people who went for this trip and make it so happening.
*psst, 2013 will over soon
