IPOH ONE DAY TRIP

Hello Everybody!

As usual, I'm going to share about my trip when I was at Ipoh. It's still the same 5 people that went to Melaka the previous day. 

WAZE & GOOGLE MAP  was our saviours during our trip at Ipoh.

Date : 19/01/2015 Monday

We left KL around 8.30am that morning and reached Ipoh around 10.45am. When we arrived, we realised that the car temperature is high after we found a parking. But we did not bother much. Just let it cool down and standby lots of water in case the temperature get high again when we're going back to KL later.

So our very first destination was :

MING COURT HONG KONG TIM SUM SDN. BHD. 

32.34.36 Jln Leong Sin Nam, Ipoh.

The food was good but the service was kinda slow at first because no one came to serve us after we were seated for quite awhile. But it was ok after the first serving.

After having Dim Sum as our breakfast, we went to looked for the famous Tau Fu Far in Ipoh.

奇峰豆腐花 FUNNY MOUNTAIN

No. 49, Jalan Theatre, 30300 Ipoh

Sadly it was closed when we found it. I'm not sure if it actually close on Monday or their Tau Fu Far had sold out. Because written there opening hours is 10.30am until sold out. And we were there around 11.45am. Is it even possible to have sold out in an hour?

We still went for Tau Fu Far in another shop though. There were quite a few shop selling Tau Fu Far so we simply went in and eat. It was not bad actually. First time having Tau Fu Far with ginger flavour. But we did not take picture of the shop we went. Oops.

After fill our tummy with foods, we walked around the town to look for some souvenirs to bring back. We googled and saw this shop is quite famous. 

We wanted to buy but the first batch will only be out at 2pm. It was 12.30pm that time and we cannot wait for it because we had another plan ahead. So we went to few other shops to look for something else. After we had bought everything we want, we went back to our car for next destination. And guess what we got? We got RM20 SUMMON! Expected. Because we don't know where to get parking coupon at Ipoh. So 1 of us went to pay for the summon at the nearby office. While he was queuing, 4 of us waited inside the car.

It was only within 10 minutes, the car temperature went high up again. It was MAX this time. While panicking on how, lucky that we found a parking right away in the middle of traffic jam. We quickly google to check if there is any workshop nearby. Guess what? We were lucky again. There's one nearby like 100m away only. 

This time 2 of us stay in case someone came to summon again. Then another 3 walked to the workshop for some help. But we were asked to drive there after the car had cool down as they cannot do anything at that moment.

While waiting for the car to cool down, we went to 

RESTORAN TAUGE AYAM LOU WONG

Add : Jalan Yau Tet Sin

Yes. We walked there. Because we found a good parking spot and it is just a few shops away. The food was super yummy! It makes me feel hungry now by seeing the pictures.

After having this delicious meal, it's time to go to the workshop. Then the boss came to checked the car, knock here knock there and it's done! No big deal. But I don't really know what's wrong when it comes to car. Then he asked his worker to test drive around the town. While the 5 of us waiting, he recommended a few places for us to go, proud to say that we already went the first few famous one. But not this :

It's actually a shop that sell indian food and just a few walks away from the workshop. My friends tried it and said it was good. I did not try because I was too full at that time after having Tauge and Chicken at the previous shop. This shop is very famous as told by the workshop boss so maybe you can give it a try when you come to Ipoh. :)

Done eating and the car is back! There's another MUST-TRY food at Ipoh and so we went!

HONG KEE MAH CHEE

550A, Jalan Queen, Pasir Pinji 31050 Ipoh.

These are yummy too! Highly recommend. Thumbs up for them! 

 

It's time to go back to KL now. But before that, we dropped by at Batu Caves since we still have plenty of time and the car seems good at that moment. 

I wanted to climb up that stairs but I wasn't allowed because I was wearing shorts. So girls, please take note if you wanna come here.

So after Batu Caves, we drove all the way back to KL. And when it's only 300m away from our hotel, the car temperature decided to went up again. What?! So we off the air-con and continue driving because there was no place to stop by. Luckily it went down back to normal after awhile. Finally, we reached our hotel safely.

WHAT AN UNLUCKY BUT LUCKY DAY!

Why I said so? Because it was so unlucky that the car spoiled our whole plan. But lucky that every problems was solved and we managed to make it back to KL safely from Ipoh. 

But it's such a disappointment that we did not manage to go Gua Tempurung. :(

DAMN CAR!

Ok, time to go. I won't be updating my blog for months after this post as I will be busy with works. Guess I will only be back at July. Until next time.

BYE BYE!
