Onn Kee Bean Sprout Chicken Rice at Ipoh, Perak

Onn Kee Bean Sprout Chicken Rice (N4 35.639 E101 05.057) is located along Jalan Yau Tet Shin of Ipoh old town, the shop is just next to Lou Wong which is selling the same dishes (Bean Sprout Chicken Rice).
We had tasted the Lou Wong chicken rice, this time we wanna try his competitor - Onn Kee Bean Sprout Chicken Rice.

It was full indoor and outdoor session during we walked in...10 minutes waited for our table.

Took our order as same as we had it at Lou Wong Restaurant. The boss (who prepare the chicken) seems like not as friendly and patient as the staffs in Lou Wong Restaurant...

The Famous Bean Sprout from Onn Kee Restaurant

The chicken looks better than Lou Wong Restaurant

Not to forget the chicken feet

Actually, I don't take chicken feet, because I don't really enjoy and don't wanna waste it! So my wife had it all! :)

The Herbal Tea drink provided by the shop

Overall, Satisfied!

The Damage : MYR40.00 for 2 adults and 1 child included drinks and A pack of 'half chicken'! Hehe! Gonna taste it again later....Reasonable price.

Now, I don't know which shop to step-in (between these 2 shops) during our next visit?! Both are equally good!

Yong Tau Foo under 'The Tree' in Ipoh, Perak.

We accidently spotted this stall after we finish the Dry Curry Mee breakfast and just driving around the area.
The Famous 'Under The Tree' Yong Tau Foo (N4°34.942' E101°05.154') is located at Jalan King of Ipoh, Perak.
There are two stalls on the both side of the tree below.....

I think this is the 'Tree' they referring to....

Even we had our breakfast, but just not to miss the chance already came across here...we Eat again!
We were not sure which one to chose, but friends from Ipoh told me they are from the Same boss. So we just decide the stall on the left, because it looks more clean and spacious.

Before order, we were observing what are the popular items other customers picked. Then only we licked the same as others....haha! Our 'picks' as below....

That's what we had chose! (Above photo)

All of them were good! But I still gotta mention that the Ipoh 'Coffee' still perfect!! The walk-in customers were non-stop while we having the Yong Tau Foo! I'm impressed! Rated : 4.5/5

Beside that, I noticed there was a stall selling noodle on the side is from Geylang Singapore?! Wah! It's travel more than 600km to here, I wondering...

After finish the Yong Tau Foo, we said 'Bye-Bye' to Ipoh and continue our journey to Cameron Highlands...

Yee Fatt Dry Curry Noodle in Ipoh, Perak

Before we leave Ipoh to Cameron Highlands, we need to have a good breakfast! After check-put the hotel and packed everything to the car, we drove to Yee Fatt Kopitaim (N4°35.166' E101°05.081') which located at begining of Jalan C. M. Yusuff. This kopitiam (Chinese restaurant) serve one of the Best Dry Curry Noodle in Ipoh. (Recommended by MFM member)

While we walked in to the area, I saw most of the customers were having their Dry Curry Noodle! The situation told me that it's must be Good! So we just placed our order...

The traditional type of kopitiam

Dry Curry Mee (noodle)

I noticed they also serve this Special Egg called - Wu Yi Egg Tea. Without hesitation, we ordered it too! :)

Wu Yi Egg Tea

And...of course with a cup of Ipoh Coffee! I wonder why the coffee is so nice that I never taste it at Johor Bahru. Almost all the Simple coffee shop also serving this good aroma coffee.

The curry noodle was marvellous! The Egg had a strange taste but it's good. Overall, I rated : 4.5/5.
Try it if you happen to be this area...

Tat Seng Salted Chicken at Ipoh, Perak

Hear about it quite some time...only taste it this time! We just simply read from the MFM Free GPS map and drive to the nearest Salted Chicken stall - Tat Seng Salted Chicken stall (N4°35.704' E101°05.107'). It's located along Jalan Raja Ekram, which is just about 500 meter away from the hotel we stay...

My wife bought one whole chicken for MYR12.00 and we gonna enjoy it in the hotel room! Haha!

Tat Seng Salted Chicken

The chicken was well cooked with the herbal and tasted delicious! You can easily 'tear' the chicken slice by slice. The salted taste was every part of the chicken, and it was No Fat at all!
I love it! Maybe because we can't easily buy it at Johor Bahru...

Tat Seng Salted Chicken

With the price we paid, I rated 4/5.
There are many other Salted chicken beside Tat Seng, if you be able to taste the rest...hope you don't mind to let me know which is the Best? Thanks.

We didn't really go anywhere on the second night at Ipoh. Just wanna have a good rest to drive to Cameron Highlands tomorrow. So we just have a walk at the Night Market along Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar, and it's was nothing interesting about the night market...

We were having our dinner at this Hill Top Cafe (N4°35.522' E101°05.182'), which was some sort of Chinese Food Court. I ordered my favorite - Jawa Mee (noodle).

Jawa Mee (noodle) of Hill Top Cafe, Ipoh.

The noodle was not bad, but not as good as those selling at Penang.

The Lost World Of Tambun, Perak

"Time stands still in this Malayana civilization where ancient man hunted, gathered and built their temple. Now amidst the gigantic ruins are the five elements of fun rides and sights. Wet park, amusement park, twin waterfall sandy beach, natural hot springs and the home to a family of big cats. But one thing hasn't changed. The 400 million year old limestone cliffs that surround the park is still as majestic as if frozen in time. The Lost World of Tambun at Sunway City Ipoh, a theme park in a land 400 million years old. Now open to Homo Sapiens." Source from the official website : The Lost World Of Tambun.

The Lost World of Tambun (N4°37.555' E101°09.294') is located along Jalan Tambun main road and it's about 10KM away from the hotel where we stayed.

Main entrance of The Lost World

This water theme park is developed by the Sunway Group which is same as The Sunway Lagoon at Subang Jaya, Selangor.
When arrived at the park, seems like not many peoples and it's looks empty! I was so surprised because it's our National Day and it's a National Public Holiday! That's make me more curious to visit it.

The empty parking lot

The ticket booth

The entrance fee is MYR25.00 for adult and MYR19.00 for children below 12 years old. Small kid who below 90cm is free. It's reasonable because of the facility and the fun inside, I got to know from the map below...

The Lost World Of Tambun map

Too bad we were not prepare for the water theme park, and we don't have any spare or extra cloths! My daughter was nagging that she wanna go in! Haha!
Then we only can walk around the building...visit the souvenir area and have a drink at the restaurant.

The restaurant

They serve fast food like McDonald or KFC

Accidently I noticed there was a boat ride that cruise at the river in front of the park. The ride was 15 minutes and the ticket is MYR6.00 per person. So we quickly jump in the boat and we were enjoy the ride because of the beautiful scenery surrounding...
I managed to snap some photos along the ride...

The first bridge we passed through...

The Green and the Limestone Hill

The Restaurant on the right of the park.

Residential area

The ride and after short 15 minutes. It's actually nothing much around, you can skip it if you visit the park.
Suddenly we spotted a Gorilla running around the park and seems like it lost the way!! Haha! That's funny!

The spotted Gorilla

It's actually a small kid and his costume!

I believe all the fun are inside, and there's nothing interesting before you enter the park. And I cannot understand why this place is not popular at Ipoh? It's because of the entrance fee? I don't think they are charging too much! Or....peoples at Ipoh don't like water theme park? What do you think?

The special way they parked their cars

I definitely will visit the park on our next visit to Ipoh. I just curious to know....

Perak Cave at Ipoh, Perak.

(N4°38.663' E101°05.953')
Perak Cave (霹雳洞; Perak Tong), has a steep, tall staircase in the interior of the cave rising up to the top of its hill where one is greeted by a panoramic view of Ipoh and its surroundings. The statue of Buddha in Perak Tong was the tallest and largest of its kind in Malaysia when first commissioned. Source from Wikipedia.

Perak Cave Temple and the entrance

They are 40 Buddha statues Perak Tong temple, a main altar, and a passage that leads to the caves’ interior. Soon after, you will come to some 385 steps that will beckon to you. After climbing those stairs, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the countryside. Perak Tong was built in 1926 by a Buddhist priest from China. Source from allmalysia.info.

The Main statue and other Deities in this Limestone Cave.

This was our First time visit to the Famous Cave in Perak, Malaysia. The cave was so cooling while we enter, even it's under hot sunny day. I Love the cool air in the cave. We had a rest on the Rock along the walkway, and I can feel the cold! It's peaceful and cooling until I almost sleep on the rock!
We continue our journey by climbing up the 385 steep & long staircase. But we stopped at halfway, because my daughter was tired. The place has a nice scenery and I saw many tourist climb to the top...I wish I can finish it on my next visit...

The Steep staircase on the left after you enter the cave

The rest area where many peoples enjoy the scenic view of Ipoh town.

Along the way, I saw many interesting limestone in all kind of shapes...when you touch it. it's cold. Below are some photos of the Limestone.




After some climb, you will reach a small house which I'm not sure what was that for, and I had been attracted by the surrounding...

Another Steep staircase to the top. I called this 'Stairway to Heaven'.

There is another staircase going down at the back of the house...it's a small jungle within the city...

Tourists just came down from the Top of hill

After about an hour walk around the cave, we leave the cave and my wife went to the souvenir centre located at the left of the main entrance.

And we finish the visit at Perak Cave after we finish our two scope of Ice-Cream. Haha!
It's a peaceful place, I Love it!
