Beautiful Ipoh

Took this photo from Kinta City, Ipoh, car park. 

It was a mesmerizing scenery showing Ipoh with its mountainous surroundings. 

Although it's not one of the best shot.. 

Yes, Ipoh is such a beauty. 

A friend who stayed in Hamburg most of his life visited Ipoh 

and told me that Ipoh is an exciting city, not boring and flat like Hamburg. 

It's true....

Driving to work everyday is not boring at all. 

I'm always in awe of the beautiful sky and clouds on the mountains top. 

Secondly, traffic is usually smooth. ;) 

Except for public holidays where tourists flock to Ipoh for good food la!

Talking about good Ipoh food, will try to update more on food post. *wink* 

Visit from a good old friend

My good old friend whom I met when I was studying in Germany was here in Malaysia for work early last month. I was really overjoyed that she took the trouble to come visit me in Ipoh. *big grin* 

So here we were at our first stop, all smiling because we were so full - Foh San Dim Sum! But we didn't take any photos of the dim sum, all eaten and forgotten. hehehe..

Foh San Dim sum

Next, I brought her to Perak Cave Temple for a walk up the hill since we were so full with dim sum. ;P The weather was nice with blue sky that day. Behind the temple, there were stairs going up a hill. Mind you, it was quite steep and when I was not even half way up, I was exhausted. See how weak am I. :P

We rested at one of the podiums/pavilions and enjoyed the scenery of Ipoh city. 

Well..next up is Burp & Giggles! ;P This place deserves an individual post but I'm too lazy to write..so here are some photos we took while enjoying coffee and juice and desserts. 

Behind Burps & Giggles is Sekeping Kong Heng where you can experience some of Ipoh old town heritage. The building remains as it is with its architecture. Some paintings from local artists were on display and they are also for sale. 

At night, we had dinner at church (yeah, i brought her to church, *grin*) and later we went for a walk at Kinta Riverfront. The next day, I also brought her to church...hahaha.. hope to bring her to know Christ. Had chicken hor fun for lunch and she left for KLIA. It was a great sight-seeing and eating trip for me as well as a Ipohan. I don't do this often and it was really fun showing her around Ipoh. :D
