ipoh in a nutshell

ipoh is a small town. :P peaceful and serene most of the time. a perfect place to retire i guess.. but i believe it’s also the place where your kids will get the best education/schools in Malaysia (if u r the competitive sort or in other words, kiasu wtf). i dont think ipoh is where all the hot chicks come from tho… just look at me, i am the perfect example. ahhaha wtf. but then again, i would say, ipoh people have values wtf. :P values tht IMHO, people from bigger cities don’t understand.

anyways.. here are some pics from my last trip back home. ;)

DR Park. The best place for jogging, tai chi, football in the evening, and also photoshoot i guess. it’s my frequent playground when im young and it didn’t change much throughout the years. :)

ABC @ Ipoh Stadium. This is where i learn my driving from lol. The stadium is so huge you can basically just go round and round and round wtf. Buthenagain, the best ABC is no longer the one from the stadium. I still prefer “tong shui kai” in front of Sam Tet school where they serve ABC that taste heavenlyyyy!!! Another cold desert that i like from tong shui kai is the “oi yok ping/ai yu ping?” which is some sort of orange jelo served with lime… mmm :) very nice for ipoh’s relatively all year summer weather.

Lou wong nga choi kai @ jalan yau tet shin. I always get confused with the way to get here due to the night market at the area, but i think Lou wong is overrated and the “hor fun” tasted bland. =.= the best time to eat here is when it is not packed, which is highly unlikely :/ … to be honest, as an ipohrean, i have not tasted Ong kee before.. =.= i wonder if it’s better than lou wong.

Dai Shu Geok @ Jalan King Pasir Pinji!!! hahaa.. i seriously like this place a lot. and it’s super cheap to eat here as well. The best time to eat here is around 11-12pm when all the “liu” is just fresh out from the wok. :P hehe.. i know there’s another one in Kwong Heng gunung rapat which i have yet to try…

Gunung Lang, a recreational spot in ipoh which is used to be famous for eagle spotting. :/ Ipoh is famous with caves… mountains… temples.. etc.. Better visit em before they’re gone tho!

well… my house…. but im moving out … soon. :p

Oldtown shop in front of Padang Ipoh, where HSBC bank is. As an ipohrean…. i am not a big fan of oldtown. :/

Padang Ipoh in front of St Michael’s Institution… ahs.. memories………….

Foh San dim sum, which have recently been renovated into a two storey building. =.=” Gila besar.. =.= But always go early for foh san… It’s not decent to stare at people while they eat so that they get off their table :/

Moven Peak. Best place to have reunions.. gatherings… chilling out.. etc.. I love their dinner meals! i must say this is my regular spot everytime i go back to ipoh. I also like assam house which serves YUMMMMMMMYYYYY asam fish hahaha. forgot the name of the restaurant famous for thai food… =.=

ipoh railway station.

there r plenty more places of attraction in ipoh..
such as,
- funny mountain soya bean
- Hor Hee @ one of the shops in old town, cant remember the name
- Steamed egg(“Tan” Tan) @ sun yoon loong old town
- Chu cheong fun under this big oak tree @ Taman Merdeka
- Curry Mee at one of the shop in old town (cant remember the name)
- Yim Kok Kai (salt chicken) – can be found in town
- Kampar Curry Bread (CB ahhaha wtf)
- Siew Pau in one of the shops in between KFC, opposite the store in town
- La pause cafe (i’m not sure if this still exist)
- Fun House? (the little cafe before the carpark in ipoh parade).. cant remember the name
- Maria’s – best dessert
- Castle Roca .. nice place for western food
- friends cafe – nice to hang out
- yeolde english
- and many many more hahahaa.. lol

if you’re an ipohrean and you know any good place around, do let me know! i’d love to discover more eateries in my hometown!

some common traits of the ooi family…
- sinus problem
- rugged drivers
- the girls are rather careless and clumsy most of the time
- competitive
- sarcastic
- very well groomed

oh well..

such an emotional week. i hope my workload will keep me off things for now.

on the bright side, i got to know i actually have dutch blood in my family… my grandpa father’s dutch =.=” seems weird to me but then again, i am rather happy being a peranakan with a lil baba n nyonya culture like my grandma..

so to say, i lost both my grandmothers. my chinese new years will never be the same ever again.

:(
