Opss.. almost forgotten this entry!
A short getaway to Ipoh with love~
Happy Reading~
Planned a short trip with love to Ipoh to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary~
We managed to get this hotel from Booking.com or Agoda roughly about RM1xx..*can't remember clearly which website bf use to book and the price as well.. haha checked Agoda is RM110+*
Once you enter the Ipoh toll, the hotel is located ten minutes away from the highway toll, It is just behind a Tesco haha.. Booked this hotel because see the review and ratings quite good. the location is not bad as well. near to Tesco hypermarket, opposite this hotel has a mamak stall and you can easily find bank/ atm next to the hotel
The lobby of the hotel
Clean and Neat
The hotel is decorated with retro and antic furniture
So nice ~
The interior of the room
-unpack and rest awhile and off we go out to explore Ipoh city
1st Stop :
::: Concubine Lane - 二奶巷 :::
keep saw people post on Facebook so we decided to go explore ourselves hahaa..
It is something like Penang Armenian Street where they have painting on the walls, mini museum, stalls that sell crafts and foods, local delicacies and souvenirs
When we are there, the rain start to pour, luckily is just drizzling if not plan ruined
Bf spotted this jelly in one of the stalls. bought it because it looks so cute but if I'm not mistaken this jelly ball cost RM5 for one stick .. looks cute but not the taste.. a bit tasteless though.
most of them are selling souvenirs and each of the shops is decorated nicely for you to capture photo.. hehe like this one below got a mini windmill and sheep welcoming the guests who walk pass
Due to rain, many stalls started to pack. I guess normally will have more stalls
One of the shops if you purchase stuff they selling for more than RM10 then you get to enter their top floor photo area for free ~ if not the entrance fee is RM 3 per person :)
After the walking and photos moments ~
You can drop by to this shop to enjoy a bowl of tau fu fa or fresh soya milk
Hehe.. we ordered one Teow Chew Tau Fu Fa = RM 2.00
and
one Tau Fu Fa with ginger soup = RM1.80
Both are good, the taste and the texture of the tau fu fa! *feel like having this right now*
After eating the tau fu fa, continue our walking along the concubine lane and we walk pass this Thai shop .. spotted the ang mohs is having the boat noodle and is been a long time since I have one.
so we go in and ordered two bowls of boat noodle.. hahaa.. saja wanna try the taste.. the soup is nice! yum yum yum.. they also serve other food as well, fried rice, mango pulut rice and etc.. but I have planned to bring him to another place for dinner.. so we didn't order food, other than that two bowl of mini boat noodle .. hehe
RM 1.90 per bowl
I managed to get a handmade purse and accessories for myself and he get himself a eye mask.. around 4/ 5 plus all the shops started to close so we decided to go find the painting arts but then I couldn't find it through waze or online and the rain start to pour heavier .
so we straight headed to the dinner place..
Yes.. again Euro House.. hahaha.. because I don't like Ipoh chicken rice or their famous chicken shredded hor fun.. so Euro House it is ! been here for quite a number of times and previously road trip with besties as well (you can read it here)
both of us are not very hungry
we order a snack and a main to share.

while waiting for our food, let's capture a photo ~
Okay, this sausage platter is not snack at all.. is more to a main already. hahaha
**due to low lighting the food doesn't look appealing but the taste is good okay, the price is affordable as well**

this is huge!
After the early dinner, the rain continue to pour and we can't go Kinta Riverfront to walk so
We went to their mall --> Ipoh Parade Mall
Lepak for few hours there and before heading back to hotel straight, we drop by the dessert street for supper
from the start till the end of the street, all the stalls are selling almost the same things hahaa.
depends you want to eat at which stall.. we choose this one which has the brightest and nice sign board and having the most crowd as well. Beside this shop got another shop selling Hong Kong style kind of shaved ice - they call it Lolo but the shop quite dark and we didn't see many people ordering it so we just stick with our choice
The fruit ice we ordered
Colourful bowl! Yums to the tums
Heheh.. spotted other table order this prawn cracker serve with prawn paste
immediate I ordered one from the stall as well.. this one me likey.. we ofinish it within minutes and ordered another one.. yumss~
Besides, check Foursquare and people recommend to order the curry noodle and beef noodle
Indecisive want to other which one to try .. without thinking much. Bf say ordered both .. hahaha.. we didn't manage to finish the noodles though.
the curry noodle is nice.. the soup base is different compared to Penang curry mee.. besides, the curry noodle stall allows you to add extra ingredients like assorted fish balls, seafood and etc.. we opt for the normal one.. the portion is quite big even though we ordered small.. the portion is good for sharing if you are small eater
as for the beef noodle - According to Bf the beef soup taste is quite strong and the meat is tender
*see the picture also know. haha.. the meat not 100% cook*
if you like beef then you will love this beef noodle. hahaa.. but the two piece of white curly "meat" on top of the noodle.. we still can't figure is which part of the cow.. hahaha
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The very next day ~
Pack, check out and out for brunch and explore before heading back to Penang
we settle our brunch at here
it is a home style cafe.. luckily we reach earlier .. if not then we have to queue for seats.
this cafe has indoor and outdoor seating..
this cafe has indoor and outdoor seating..
we managed to get the indoor seating.
We Ordered their roti bakar - spread with kaya and butter and Omega half boiled eggs
Other than that, we ordered their signature noodle served with curry chicken
and
their signature noodle served with braised egg, tofu and chicken feet
-: Normal only ~ nothing much to shout out hahaa.. :-
After done eating, you can buy some of their 3-in-1 coffees or local biscuits inside the cafe for your loves one.. They also prepared some props for people to take photo
The outdoor photo area
after done eating you can go visit the tourist spot which is Qing Xin Ling Leisure & Cultural Village unfortunately when we are there, the place is closed for maintenance.. so sad.. a lot of cars also reach and u-turn back .. since we can't go in the leisure and cultural village, we drop by to a temple beside the qing xin ling and have a walk.. nothing much though so headed back to Ipoh town to get kaya puff before we head back to Penang :)
Short and sweet escape with boo~
Let's plan for the next escape xDD
Still got so many backdated entries,
My gawdd..Need to chase up the time :D
