Ipoh - A great place for a night stay and choice of good food

This is our 4th annual trip to Sg Petani. The first time we took our break in Penang. The last few trips we chose Ipoh. This trip Rocky is not available.

We arrived on Friday Night. As it was drizzling, we decided not to go for the famous chicken, bean sprouts. Last year we were introduced Restoran Yin Fai Kee, No 2 Jalan Leong Sin Nam(H/P 012-5086639) Speciality, crab with salted egg.. We love the "Claypot Lor See Fan". We enjoyed the food for two hours.

Next morning, breakfast and choice of "Dim Sum" at 30 Jalan Ekram, Ipoh (H/P 012-44677841, 016-5415877). The parking meter around this area is different compare to Kuala Lumpur. Lawrence and Ms Tee is reading the instruction. First, identify the lot number and key in the machine. There is no ticket that will be printed out to display inside the car. Take a look the next time you are in Ipoh.

Why don't the councillor find other revenue. One important criteria for choosing a restaurant is easy parking and better still free parking.

Talk by Adam Khoo - Nov 4, 2006 at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman's Centre for Extension Education

It was an opportunity to listen to Adam Khoo's talk in person. I bought his book I am Gifted, So Are You! I got him to autograph the book for my son Richard.

His website is www.akltg.com I would recommend any person interested to listen to him if he do give a free preview a your town

I am also amazed at the effort by Malaysia Mental Literacy Movement for bringing awareness that learning can be exciting, now that I know I am using only 1% of my brain. Imagine a genius used 3% to 5% of their brains.

EON KLUANG - Participated in one of the activity on the visit by Tengku Mahkota of Johor

Mawi is definitely popular. this boy wanted a photo taken with the life size poster. Some of the musical instruments to perform music. The music was nice and the singer sang very well. How I wish I have recorded a part of the music.

When I was in the primary school, the Sultan of Johor visited Kluang. We would wait with a flag along the road waiting for him to come. The car would passed by, but we could not see him except known that he was inside.

Recently, I have the opportunity to take photographs of the Tengku Mahkota of Johor and his son. They are very warm and friendly. They allowed the residents at this place to set up the stalls where foods are prepared to welcome him. They came, sat and have tea while some perform music and song. Then they visited the stall, sample the foods and drinks. The residents though were tired in the preparation were very happy.

I am very happy too.

Next year will be Visit Malaysia Year 2007. In Malaysia, it is either rain or shine. Domestic traveller always look for good food. For foreign tourists they will go first for cleanliness or "safe" food. I hope Kluang can bring in more tourists, we have enough reason for them to stay at least two days one night.

If you wish to go to Pulau Tioman, please stop by Kluang. I remember in the early days, Kluang been a valley and with a mountain, Gunung Lambak, is very misty in the early morning. Kluang was called "little England"

We will interview some locals, and find out more about Kluang. In the 1960's where triads existed we dared not visit some places. I am sure there are some good stories for me to hear.

Recently, my Company sent me to a training. Evry trainer I met mentioned that we are very lucky because few companies are willing to spend money on training.
In the "ice breaking" exercise I am asked to write my neme in alphabet in a slip provided, example YSH. The trainer Vick collect the slips, shuffled them and we pick up one each. We are to find out the person named in alphabet, asked him three questions. Name, hobby and Unique. For me hobby is looking for food.
