This large signage welcomes visitors to the historic city of Ipoh, the capital of the state of Perak. The geotagged location is an approximation as I'm not sure exactly where these large letters are placed.
This was shot from the passenger side through the windscreen of my friend's Volvo XC60 with multiple car stickers on the screen, so I had a gruelling task of cropping out the unnecessary parts of the images in wide angle shots.
It was no ordinary fried chicken. The chicken was boneless and the batter was superb. Crunchy, crispy and yet not tough, rather easy to chew. The slightly peppered batter really enhanced the taste of the meat. @Beacon Point, Ipoh (Pork free)
Perak Cave, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia
Perak Tong Cave Temple is one of the oldest and most beautifully preserved temples in Ipoh. Within the huge limestone caves of Gunung Tasik, this temple was built in 1926 by Buddhist priests from China.
The temple houses over 40 Buddha statues with the centre-piece being a 12.8 metre high sitting Buddha. The cave sits at the foot of a 120m high limestone outcrop – one of several hills in the area – behind a simple but pretty garden, decorated with lotus ponds, pavilions, pagodas and two bell towers.
Ipoh "white" coffee is a popular coffee drink which originated in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. The coffee beans are roasted with palm-oil margarine, and the resulting coffee is served with condensed milk.
The term "white coffee" originates from the literal translation of its Chinese name, which was introduced in the 19th century by Chinese migrants who came to work in the local tin mines.
The generic term "Ipoh white coffee" in Chinese is "怡保白咖啡". "白" commonly means white, has nothing to do with the colour in this instance, but is rather a reference to the way how the coffee is roasted. In Chinese, Bái also means 'without, or unadulterated, nothing has been added to the coffee during the roasting process.
here, it is served with the perfect South East Asian combination, the kaya toasts.

Ipoh, the first stop on our roadtrip, where we ate the slipperiest horfun and met the friendliest old man while wandering down a random alley.
Rope skipping was a traditional childhood social game when there was no tech toys or computer games for young kids
A old man sit on the wooden chair at Ipoh Old Town. He did't reject while I point my camera and try to compose to finish the shot.
