This man, is a bit of an Ipoh enigma. They say, that he was once such a rich and successful business man that he had more money than he cared for, or knew what to do with. So, instead of putting it a side, he took a fancy to horses. Specifically the thrill of the [...]
Every time I get to go back to Ipoh for work, I get really excited. 1. it’s my hometown 2. I get to see my grandparents (aged 94 and 89) and 3. I get to pig out on good food. Also, being from Ipoh and everything, I thought I knew most of the great places [...]
Another one of my ex-colleagues has started up his own business in Ipoh. I am so proud of him! It’s called Happy Cones and they are in the business of making ice-creams and yogurt fixes for everybody!

Tan Cha – Herbal Tea with Egg Yee Fatt in Ipoh is famous for laid-back breakfasts, slow leisurely late morning tea and coffee sessions whilst browsing the newspapers, old-timers sitting around killing time and young guys grabbing a quick bite before the sales pitch starts.

Look at this structure! It’s such an eye-sore. My fav place for Ngau-Lam Mee (Beef Brisket and ‘bits-and-bobs‘ noodle.. !) in Ipoh is near a dilapidated, abandoned, ex- feng tau (ecstasy) joint… It’s really run down and horrific to look at. It kills the entire scenery. It really does. Not only that…. … it’s located [...]
