Ipoh!

Headed up north on Friday with the peeps while we were on a week of Deepavali break. Initial plan was to spend a night over at Genting but most of the hotels were occupied and the bad weather pulled us back from the plan. We wouldn't want queuing up for rides in the downpouring rain.

First stop, Pun Chun Chicken Biscuit & Restaurant at Tambun for herbal duck noodles! Could really taste the authentic Chinese herbs in it, likey like. And they serve generous pieces of duck meat. It's around RM 7 per bowl and 7 of us shared 4 bowls of noodles and 2 bowls of soup. And the famous chicken biscuits there were famous, though I didn't buy any.

After another 40 mins of drive or so, we arrived at Ipoh! Went for the famous dim sum at Foh San. Food was mediocre, nothing to rave about. But it's better than the normal dim sum shops that's full of lard. Urgh.

Amidst all that food we had, we still had space for tau foo fa! A drive thru tau foo fah store, apparently. Slurped down the silky smooth dessert in seconds!

Went over to 'San Bao Dong' for some sight seeing, the limestone cave that places the statues of Gods. Been there previously though, made a small offering to bless myself and family with happiness and health. :)

Cooled down ourselves on a scorching day like that with none other than iced white coffee at Nam Heong coffee shop! But I reckon Old Town's tasted better :P Piping hot egg tarts to go with it too! :B

Main attraction of the day was Kellie's Castle which is said to be haunted! First time there and I could feel the chills running down my spine. Jeng jeng jeng! There was filming done there by TV3 too, but couldn't recognise any actor or actresses. :/

Most of the parts were quite dangerous as it wasn't properly secured, as you can see the balcony doesn't even have railings and you could jump off anytime. Well, it was perhaps to maintain the spookiness and the authenticity of the castle.

500m away lies the Indian temple where there was an underground tunnel connected from the castle.

Spot Kellie!

Ended our trip with famous Ipoh hor fun! T'was raining and the workers there even welcomed us with umbrellas. Good service!

Arrived at Subang around 9pm and we had burger for supper. Fatties we are, non stop eating the whole day! T'was a good road trip though, am loving it and looking forward to more! Credits to Ryan for the pictures and being driver for the day!
