#weekendgetaways 📍The Farm Café, Sitiawan, Perak, Malaysia Had a little road trip to Sitiawan during long weekends and stumbled upon this cute little cafe! The café is quite a small one, with a few tables and seatings. Love the huge transparent windows at the side of the store which allows ample flow of natural lighting in store. The ambiance was rather chill and relaxing, great hang out place for friends and families! They offer hot food and a few kinds of pastries, cakes and coffee! We ordered their tuna sandwich and coffee which was pretty good and decent. Overall, cozy gathering and hang out place whilst in Sitiawan!

#freehotelstay Tua Pek Gong Temple is located in the Manjung district of Perak, about 7.6 KM from Sitiawan, and it is a true hidden gem for the locals and foreign tourists. The temple was built with the largest eye-catching.48-foot-long Tua Pek Kong’s stone carvings in Malaysia at the entrance and there is a Guanyin’s stone and the Queen Mother’s stone, as well as a some other God sculptures of various sizes. Recent year, the spot has been expanding where the landscaped garden with koi ponds, artificial rocks and more statues are available in the temple now. However, the renovation is still on-going and it is believed that more surprises will be offered to the public soon. Tips: if you are going in the afternoon, remember to bring along an umbrella as the weather is extremely hot! Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

AMU Coconut seafood restaurant is famous seafood restaurant in Sitiawan.The seafood especially steam flower crab so fresh and delicious,fry squid is crispy too.Very reasonable price and service is fast.Highly recommended.

Our first stop while we arrived in Sitiawan due to the good reviews we saw online. In fact they did not disappoint! The fish ball is my favourite with savoury soup base and it reminds me immediately of the cooking of my passing grandmother. Braised pork rice is tasty too! The fried popiah is mediocre. Price is slightly higher but provided the restaurant is air conditioned, nothing to complain about! Recommended!

If you happen to be at Sitiawan area, and am someone who fancies pork, do try the local special - dry Bak Kut Teh available at Restoran Tien Kuan. Served in thick, starchy, black and sweet sauce which makes it flavourful mixed with ingredients - pork, small intestines, bits of cuttlefish is a bowl of authentic dry Bak Kut Teh which you can find uniquely in Malaysia. What’s important is, it’s done well here, with a fragrant cuttlefish taste. Try it especially if you are a pork lover.

#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #cuti²malaysia On my travels, I stumbled upon a hidden gem that felt like a sacred gateway between time and nature: the Tua Pek Kong Temple. This 19th-century Buddhist complex, perched by the serene seaside, immediately captivated me with its striking blend of spiritual grandeur and natural beauty. Statues of gods and mythical creatures greet visitors, while the elegant pagoda stands tall, offering stunning views of the koi pond below. Just a stone's throw away lies the tranquil Tua Pek Kong Paya Bakau, a lush mangrove wetland that beautifully merges with the temple’s tranquil atmosphere. For a truly immersive experience, comfortable shoes are a must for the temple’s steps and the peaceful wetland walk. Whether you’re here to reflect, explore, or simply marvel at Malaysia’s incredible cultural richness, this place is a must-visit for anyone seeking a spiritual retreat by the sea.

The tuo pek kong templer really worth to visit

#ipohtrip If you even consider to visit some hidden attractions in Malaysia other than the famous Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Sabah, Ipoh can be a great place for you to explore!! Not a super fancy big city but it is a small cute town embayed in mountains. For the 2-3 days trips, do not miss out the Perak Cave Temple as this is where you can climb up the temple to overlook the town view and Kek Lok Toong with the god statues inside the caves plus the paradise in the back mountain for you to chill and enjoy the boat riding. Not to mention there are some good cafe such as the Harry Potter themed platform cafe and some small small hidden cafe that offering good coffees and pastries. In term of the stay, The Heaven Suite is definitely the top 1 in my list as it offers more than just a hotel room. Swimming pool is the highlight because it just literally facing the majestic mountain view in front!! If you even have more budget for the trip, Banjaran Hotsping can be a good option considering the hot spring is available inside the hotel as well as the cave restaurant could provide you a memorable experience like once in a life time!! Not far from Ipoh, Sitiawan is somewhere you can pass by as well!! I am sure that the Tua Pek Temple that located there will amaze!!

nice place

#travellerswonderland I recently had the pleasure of dining at Restoran Makanan Laut Villa Sitiawan during my trip to Sitiawan. This popular seafood restaurant did not disappoint! The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, with a casual and relaxed vibe. I ordered the grilled fish, which was cooked to perfection. The fish was flaky and tender, with a delicious smoky flavor. The accompanying sauces were a great complement to the fish. I also tried the seafood noodles, which were packed with flavor. The broth was rich and satisfying, and the seafood was fresh and plentiful. The prices at Restoran Makanan Laut Villa Sitiawan were very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of the food. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable seafood restaurant in Sitiawan, I highly recommend Restoran Makanan Laut Villa Sitiawan. You won't be disappointed!

The most famous site of sitiawan, the temple grounds is huge, and is located off the coast of straits of malacca. The entrance of the temple is filled with huge statues. Situated near to the shore and mangrove area this tourist attraction pulls many tourists to the spot. The temple is rather clean and windy. Free parking area available. There is no admission charge and a few souvenir shops and food stalls on site.

#winhkflight Sitiawan is one small town about 1.5hours away from Ipoh city. Although it is small, never expect that there is such big attraction in this town! This area just close by the sea and it is very chilly here, but do apply sunscreen as my face turn dark after visiting this place 🌚 I wish to travel to HongKong to resemble the busyness of the city and start my shopping spree just like what I used to watch in TV!

Although Sitiawan is a bit far from Ipoh, there are endless sounds of firecrackers in the streets and alleys around the Chinese New Year. Although you have traveled across the ocean to visit relatives, you may be able to experience the feeling of being entertained during the Chinese New Year better than tourists. I still recommend that you drive around and experience the different colors of the New Year. #Malaysia #Sitiawan #Ipoh #Self-driving tour

bak kut teh is a local malaysian dish which is hard to find outside of malaysia. came to this store which is in a traditional setting - which you can simply already tell from the storefront, and called both soup and dry version. Remarkably, their taste is differentiated from others due to the inclusion of cuttlefish. This is the reason why we travel from ipoh all the way here for 2 hours just for this local delicacy. served in claypot to maintain warmness
