Taiping - The City of Everlasting Peace
On Merdeka Day, me and bee went to Taiping for our monthly event (Coti2 Malaysia..ngee). Taiping was mainly a Chinese town. But at one end of the town there were the British officers detached quarters, the military cantonment and the gaol.
Bertolak dari Kota Damansara kol 6.30am.. sempat Suboh di rumah. The ikot jalan dalam.. saje je nak tgk kampung org di waktu pagi. So, we started our journey from Kota Damansara - Rawang - Tg Malim. We had our breakfast in Tg Malim in front of UPSI. We continued our journey direct to Taiping ikot jalan dalam. Sampai tapah bee dah tak larat ikut jalan dalam as well as ikut bontot lori.. sloww seyhh.. so, masuk tol Tapah menuju ke Taiping.
Sampai Taiping town dlm kul 12pm.. ngam2 lapar. Time for lunchh..! Tp bee ckp nak check in dulu.. so we all pon pusing2 Taiping town tu 2-3 kali cari hotel. kebanyakkan nye fully booked bcoz of the public holiday + weekend. Last2 jupe satu hotel yg agak ‘old skool’ in front of Sek King Edward and near to lake garden. Ok jugak bilik nye.. and bathroom besarr sgt. bleh main kejar2 dlm tuh. So lepak2 tunggu zohor then keluar carik makan. I called my mom tanye tmpt mane makan bes. mak ckp blakang bomba. Sib baik jupe. Its quite mcm bazaar la.. tpt makan tu and all kedai mesti ada Yong Tau Fu .. pelik jap. Bee order yong tau fu and I lapaq nasik..
Lepas makan pegi ronda2 lake garden. Singgah jap Bukit Maxwell. Tak bleh bwk kete naik.. ingatkan leh panjat cemtu jek.. rupe nye kene upah ranger bagai.. hmm takpayah la. So lepak2 jek kat kaki bukit then pegi round Lake Garden. Mmg sgt besar lake garden Taiping. bee ajak main Swan kayuh2 kat tasik tu.. tapi mcm xde selera.. hehehe.. so, lepak je la di bwh pokok.. mcm citer P Ramlee. Dekat nak magrib, balik hotel lepak2 jap sebelom acara seterusnye..
Mlm,kol 8 cemtu kitorg gi Zoo taiping plak. Nite Safari die mmg bestt.. 5 star..! Binatang die pon class.. paling bes tgk burung hantu, cheetah, gajah, tc.. mereka ni sgt aktif di waku malam, thats why x boring.. kalo gi siang dpt tgk kandang jek. Dekat 3 jam jugakla dlm zoo tu. Takleh amik gamba sgt. nati minatang tekejot.. ehee..
Balik tu pegi ‘Wakaf’ for kue tiaw kerang ..*as per suggested by bee’s fren*. So muraahhh.. big plate with a lot of kerang for RM2.50 only. kalo kl dah kene RM4.50 dah tu.. Balik makan kue tiaw terooss lepak.. ZZZzzZZ.. and go to next post for our trip to Kuala Kangsa.. weeeee~
