About birds, birdwatching and my Johor roots. Including the natural heritage, food, culture and wildlife of Malaysia, particularly Fraser Hill, Southeast Asia, China, Japan and beyond. Everything and anything bird, food, animals, travel-related and my family.
I was ready to walk and explore this section of Ipoh after completing my afternoon dessert which comprised of soyabean with grass jelly (Tau Fu Fah) and a cold glass of soyamilk at this shop by "Big Mom." This soya specialty shop was a walking distance from Cititel hotel, Ipoh. One of the ladies working in this shop was busy cleaning the gingko nuts (as pictured below). I did not try the soyabean with gingko nuts this time around.The duck noodles had sold out when we arrived at Bidor, Perak around 12:10pm on the eve of Malaysia Day. Nevertheless, this stall serves delicious wantan noodles. My mum had to order the thosai and literally slurped the dhal like it was a bowl of soup. She did finish off the plate of chee cheong fun with mushroom sauce, as well. Note to self to consider staying in Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites, their website of which can be accessed HERE. Ipoh was not as hectic as Kuala Lumpur that Malaysia Day week, and as long as there is ample & complimentary car park spaces provided by the hotel, that is sufficient. The railway station in Ipoh is within walking distance to some of these hotels but at my age, I seriously have to reconsider rail travel. Managed to have drinks at Red Brick Kitchen restaurant which is a lovely restaurant nestled in front of beautiful limestone hills. More information about this well-kept secret of a restaurant in Ipoh can be read HERE. Chui Chak, Langkap in Perak is lauded as the "Second Sekinchan" with beautiful views of paddyfields. A homestay named "Haako" is available via AirBnB HERE. I passed by Chui Chak previously when driving back to KL using the trunk road from Perak. The visit to Ipoh years ago was when I explored Batu Gajah, Perak with my birdwatcher & nature friend, Connie Khoo. We encountered the Pheasant-tailed Jacana and Cotton Pygmy Goose, the videos of which are available below:-
Limestone Hills at night from the carpark area
Red Brick Kitchen entrance - almost a full house that evening
Chui Chak is definitely on the to-do list for me, once I free myself up to birdwatch and travel again.
