Food Trip Invasion - Ipoh

Aron and his classmate plan to have a food trip to ipoh, since some of his best friends stay at Ipoh.

The trip is ON after few times of re-arrange.

20 Dec 2011

Aron pick up Sue An at 7am, and pick up Wai Yi, our tour guide of the trip at 8:30am due to sesat jalan (lost). And the journey begins.

On the highway, Aron noticed my hood is shaking while cruising with a Teana at 170kmh. He slow down, and it still have slightly shake at 120kmh. He stop me at 1 of the rest area and check, end up its the hood pin lock at the right is loosen.

It took me 2 hrs to reach the toll of Simpang Pulai. We head to Wai Yi's house to unload the luggage (actually its just 2 bags).

Aron contact Han Seng, the second tour guide of the trip. He suggest Wai Yi to bring us to Meng Kok to have dimsum as "brunch". After Aron fill up their stomach, he ask Han Seng for wrench set to tighten my hood pin lock. It took them around 15min to get it tighten.

Next destination - Gunung Lang.

Good view here - lake, fishes, flowers, boat, playground. Sue An and Wai Yi having a good time to shoot photo.

Aron and the tour guide, Han Seng + Han Seng's girlfriend:

After 2 hrs at Gunung Lang, we proceed to "Big Tree Leg" (Under Big Tree) to have some local meal - noodle with self choose fried dishes (they call it 料). They have variety of choice for fried dishes. Time to rest their stomach and body, they head to Wai Yi's house for bath,and nap.

Sue An made this at Wai Yi's house:

The food trip continue at night.

Around 7pm, Wai Yi bring us to try the local famous Claypot Chicken Rice, at Tasek.
The size of claypot is a lot bigger than KL, Aron was stunned when he saw the claypot in big size, because he is going to finish it, hehehe.

Beside the restaurant is pasar malam (night market). Pasar malam section is good for digesting. Chui Yew is meeting them up at Tesco. Long time didnt see her. Although they dont have sufficient time to chat, but they still happy to see her.

Let's call it a day. Aron overnight at Wai Yi's house together with Sue An.

Breakfast - Hakka Mee.
Wooo~~ different with Hakka Mee at KL, a lot of minced pork + cheaper =D

Digest Section - Perak Cave

Sue An and "Buddha" word:

Windy cave, good to peace down your mind. Aron and his gang challenge the 500 stairs to the top of the mountain, and they did it. =D

Very nice view at the top.

Next meal - Famous "Ding Ding Dang Dang"(sound of frying mee)
Although Aron is still full, but he still try his best to finish the delicious fry noodle. It taste great, the smell release from inner side of noodle.

Its not early, Han Seng bring them to buy the famous salted chicken as souvenir, Han Seng told Sue An: "Later wind down the glass, and put a peace to them" Sue An follow, end up the worker bring 2 salted chicken to Sue An.
Trust me, it is the fastest drive-thru EVER.
Sue An bought 2, Aron bought 1 =D

Next souvenir - famous homemade biscuit.
Bake at home, sell at home. 100% homemade + bake with charcoal.

After saying good bye to Han Seng and his GF and Wai Yi's mom. We depart to KL around 4pm, with rainy weather.

Still, the hood still shake slightly, Aron went down and check, the hood pin lock loose again, because it is aluminium, worry that the thread will lose and fly the hood away, Aron going to change it to steel.

Reach home around 6:30pm.

Total mileage traveled:

Conclusion of this trip:
-Salted Chicken Restaurant is the fastest drive-thru ever.
-2 days are not enough for a food trip at Ipoh.
-Sufficient time to eat, insufficient time to digest.
-DAMN A LOT OF LENG LUI~
