WE WANT TO MAKE A TRIP TO IPOH TO SAMPLE some food and also because there is nothing much happening this Sunday. Darren and I set off at 6am from Serdang and we arrive Kee Mun's shortly after 9.00am.
There are reasonable traffic going up North and I keep to the speed limit of 110 kph. I exit Simpang Pulai after consulting our Ipoh Mali pal because I want to avoid exiting the wrong side of the highway ....
I ask KM to let me have this picture taken of my primary school for memory sake. Of course it looks and feels a lot smaller than I remember it to be.
Brekkie is at 文东记 (CHEAH BROS) my usual noodle and 料 joint. We are taken around 八角亭 to look at some old shop buildings that Darren is interested in. After which we adjourn to Old Town for a cup of coffee.
Of course we drive past familiar places such as Sam Tet, Ave Maria, old town pasar, Kinta River, Jalan Bendahara, Pasir Putih, Padang, St Michael's, Royal Ipoh Club, Tun Razak Library, Greentown, Chateau Garden, Tiger Lane (to admire nice homes there), the Haven and Lost World at Tambun.
Lunch is of course again my favourite Nasi Ganja (Nasi Kandar) opposite the former "Tanjung Rambutan Bus Station". Yum.
Then we agree to have foot massage at Huang Ting Reflexology (Jalan Foo Yet Kai) before having a cup of coffee at 新长江 and a plate of rojak which is nice. This is afternoon snacks for us.
We rest a bit at KM's house and have dinner near Simpang Pulai before setting off for KL at around 7.15pm. It is raining dogs and cats almost fro the word go. Darren "Be Careful" Low is nervous and keeps giving me his worried "be careful's". Ha ha ha. I HATE TO SEE how his face changes color if he goes flying with me or his son!
The downpour stops around Rawang and we are happy to be back and reward ourselves with the "salted chicken" 盐鸡from Ipoh. Nice day.
