This restaurant is famous for the Curry Chicken Bread as well as other dishes. It is located at the town centre along Jalan Idris. The owner was inspired by the Beggar’s Bread from Hong Kong to come out with the idea of stuffed curry bread in 1986. This is the first time I tried curry chicken bread, and I love it. It is delicious and will make you eat non-stop, the curry chicken is baked inside the soft fluffy bread, very aromatic. If you are not able to take spicy food, settle for the equally tasty herbal chicken bread. This restaurant also serves the typical Chinese dishes. Food is nice and reasonably priced. Occasionally there are tour groups that come here to enjoy this specialty during lunch and dinner time.

Great experience for a newbie cave explorer. There are 2 tours offered - dry tour and wet tour. Both tours is divided to two more options - one is longer route than the other. You will be guided throughout the tours and can listen to so many facts explained by the guide. It would be much more interesting if you come in a group. We tried the dry tour (the longer route) since we did not bring any extra clothes. Took us around 40 minutes to the end of the tour back and forth to the cave entrance. There were thousands steps make sure you are fit enough to enjoy the walk. Next time for sure will try the wet tour it looks so much fun!

#favouriteitinerary #thingstodo #beautiful_malaysia Nestled in the charming town of Kampar, Castle Avenue is a whimsical destination that feels like it’s been plucked straight out of a storybook. This enchanting spot, with its European-inspired castle architecture, is a dream come true for anyone who’s ever fantasized about stepping into a fairytale. As I wandered through the cobblestone pathways, I was mesmerized by the towering turrets, arched windows, and intricate stonework that make Castle Avenue so unique. The atmosphere is magical, especially in the evening when the castle is illuminated, casting a warm glow over the entire area. It’s the perfect backdrop for photos, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few (or a lot!) of pictures.

#favouriteitinerary Yau Kee Restaurant is a well-known culinary gem, famous for its Curry Chicken Bread and signature noodle dishes. Famous Curry Chicken Bread: This iconic dish is a must-try, featuring a rich and aromatic curry chicken wrapped in a giant, fluffy bread loaf. The curry is slow-cooked with tender chicken and potatoes, infused with fragrant spices for a deep, flavorful taste. The bread itself is soft yet slightly crispy on the outside, perfect for soaking up the savory curry. Signature Noodles: known for their springy texture and flavorful broths, the noodle tastes super delicious especially mixed with their chilli. Don’t forget to order some fresh vegetables to go with your balance diet dinner.

#favouriteitinerary Staycation here was cooling and far from the sound of busy city. Great escape from the concrete jungle. Perfect stay, you can feed the fish during your stay and the coolest thing, the hot spring is natural and very smart they build like a swimming pool just for the hotspring. It is located in Gopeng Perak, while you can enjoy activities like white water rafting around there, here is nice stay

#celebrateit #cny2025 #kampar My visit to the centennial temple during Chinese New Year was nothing short of magical, and it was an unforgettable experience. The temple, with its historic architecture and intricate carvings, was beautifully decorated with vibrant lanterns and the scent of incense in the air. The lively atmosphere included locals and visitors offering prayers, lighting incense It was amazing to see how the temple’s spiritual practices blended with the festive celebrations. If you're visiting during Chinese New Year, it’s a peaceful yet lively spot to reflect and experience both history and tradition.

#favouriteitinerary It’s not easy to find itinerary tour to the indigenous people, most of the trip I’ve been usually city tour or to famous landmarks. Hence, if you found one, you are the luckiest. The tour is so unique, it’s authentic, it’s real-life experience, it’s humbled trip. The whole experience makes me realise, I need only little in life, nothing really matters but the connection to another human being. The people are the friendliest, shy but kind. From the home-cook foods we eat, to the activities and the peaceful nature surrounding. They had it all, they only need just enough to share with everyone. Highlights: - Rajah Brooke Butterfly visit - Rafflesia Flower biggest flower in the world - Hike to Waterfalls - Sleeping in a hut with slim mattress #favouriteitinerary

#newyearnewtrip Every time I enter this Orang Asli Semai village, I feel peaceful. There’s no possession material, just basic needs. Kitchen, toiletries, foods, foldable mattresses & clothes. No furnitures maybe only tv when they need. Even then, you can always welcome to neighbours house to watch tv. They seem always happy! Their main income is from Durian Orchard. Then from ecotourism. Tourist come to see the village and also go to waterfall and see Rafflesia Flowers. Can stay overnight as well, do local activities like weaving, cooking, blowpipe and trap making

#newyearnewtrip To the European, American and Australian, staying with the local in their homestay are adventurous itself. They usually prefer to stay and learn indigenous cultures. But of course not all. This is in Orang Asli Semai village in Gopeng Perak. Swimming in their clear crystal water is refreshing, eat homecook by the local, play together with the children. Or just read your book in their hut. Waterfall is nearby also, about 20 mins walk and if you lucky, if it’s blooming time, you can hike about 30 mins to see the biggest flower in the world, Rafflesia Flower

#newyearnewtrip For a change of scenery, we decided to take a trip to Kampar, Perak, Malaysia where life is slow paced, and everything here is so peaceful. We tried doing things the locals do - going to the mall, the night market, walking around this relaxing town and trying their foods. Everything is so affordable here. Do come here if you want to laze around while sampling good foods!

#ipohtrip I recently explored Gua Tempurung, the largest limestone cave complex in Peninsular Malaysia, and it was an unforgettable experience! The sheer scale of the cave, standing at 578 meters high and 1.9 km long, left me awestruck.
