Ipoh trip....

hey guys... i'm back!!!!i just came back from Ipoh to visit my aunt and uncle...it was just a short trip(3 days) because my mom got to rush her work today before she has her Christmas holiday...but within these short days, i think that i've turned into a pig...i've been eating and eating and eating since i stepped into my aunt's car...i would say that this trip is food and sightseeing trip...so, be prepared for food drooling pictures and serene scenary pictures later on ( but mostly on food though.. :p)

so, here's the itinerary of my trip...we started our journey from Muar at 8.30am and reached KL at 11.45am...we bought our ticket to Ipoh at 3.50pm so that we could go shopping in Sungei Wang for a while..suprisingly, my mum and i managed to buy quite a lot of things with only 1 and a half hour shopping time...ok... back to the main topic...so, when we reached Ipoh, my aunt brought us to have our dinner...Kai Xi Hor Fun + Ipoh Tau Geh + Popiah + Yong Tau Fu Soup = Full...sorry, i didn't take any photos of those because i was so hungry to think of taking photo of it...hahahahaha....for those who know m well, i don't take taugeh but i'm so in love with Ipoh Taugeh because it is juicy and sweet... not like the normal taugeh we have in somewhere else..next day, my aunt cooked for us for BRUNCH....hehe... u guys should know why,right??as she cooked, i was standing behind her, watching her how she cook and asked many questions about cooking...oh ya... did i mention that my aunt is very good in cooking??in fact, she is also good in baking, knitting, painting and gardening...my uncle was telling me to come and stay long so that i could learn all her cooking and baking skills... because he jokingly said that if my aunt passed away, all her secret recipes will be gone with her... i would wish i can learn some cooking with her too, though... so, here are the food that my aunt cooked for us...

Our Brunch on the 2nd day...

The short but juicy Beansprouts from Ipoh

The Steamed Chicken

The Sweet n' Sour Prawn

The Tangy Jellyfish

The Raddish with Home-made Fishball Soup + the Home-made Chili Sauce

i see salive drooling down already!!!hahaha....after the meal, we went out for sightseeing...as we know, Ipoh is famous with mountains and caves...so, we went to a few caves....

The Park behind Kek Look Cave

Little monkey in the temple...

Sam Poh Tong

The Pavilion in Sam Poh Tong

I find this status of "The Smilling Buddha" cute....

The Tortoise Pond in Sam Poh Tong

Munching the "Kang Kung"...

A valley in Sam Poh Tong

what a nice scene....
so tranquil and peaceful...in my opinion, for those who like to explore peaceful and scenic place, u can go there and enjoy your life...maybe sit there, absorb the beautiful scenary, inhale all the fresh air and hear the birds chirping... or u can read books or have some tea with friends..ok... i told u that my aunt has a green finger...so here's her small garden...

I simply love this picture... the colour of the hibiscus was simply radiant...

Guess what is this???

A flower or leaf???

The Powder Flower Plant

Is it a grape??

The Egpytian Leaf Plant

The Mexican Chili Plant

The 100-Days Flower Plant

so beautifully bloomed, right?? it really needs extra care and patience to bloom it... and also the talent and passion to do it... as for dinner, we had traditional steamboat in Old Town... it is an old shop, operated for 20 years and it still remains so famous among the locals...as a matter of fact, i know why it is still so famous... it is simply because the "ching tong" soup is sweet and the curry soup is really superb... however, i forgot to take picture of it... sorry again... too busy stuffing myself with the yummy food... haha... so, the next day, i had roasted duck and "char siew" for my brunch before i set back to Muar...

The Roasted Char Siew

The Crispy Duck

The Tang Gui Roasted Duck

yummy yummy... i was told by my aunt that Ipoh is famous for roasted duck... no wonder i saw so many ducks in one of the picture taken by Jeanette during her filming in Ipoh... haha.... anyway, it was a nice short trip for this holiday... being so occupied with my Little Nyonya show, this short trip indeed made a better breakaway for me before i go back to uni... Christmas is around the corner...as we know, Christmas is a season for sharing and caring... i'm here to share my short but yet nice trip with u all... wish u all have a great Christmas out there...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

My Aunt and Uncle
