The colonial-style structure is built in 1917.
The Ipoh Railway Station continues the theme of adopting what local writers incorrectly call the Moorish architecture (in fact, it is Mughal style architecture of India) that also dons the old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.
The Ipoh Railway Station is often affectionately known as the Taj Mahal of Ipoh. It is indeed one of the more impressive landmarks in Ipoh.

Welcome to the famous Ipoh Flea Market (known as Pasar Kutu Ipoh in Malay language). One can find anything from used house appliances, footwears and clothes to roadside herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction, incessant cough and sinus, to second-hand CDs, VCDs, toys, reading material, etc, etc. Located at Horley Street in downtown Ipoh, the flea market (known officially as Memory Lane) is a major attraction every Sunday between 7am-1pm and is a must see for tourists who travel to Ipoh during the weekends. Ipoh is about three hours bus travel from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and about 2 hours from the Bayan Lepas International Airport in Penang.
You can order these "Yong Liu" (or popularly referred to as "Yong Tau Foo" in Kuala Lumpur) to go with the noodles. We had this at a famous shop at Ipoh old town. It's crowded on weekends and if you go there on a weekend, you have to queue and take your number from the cashier. They'll announce the number once a table is available. It's that gooooood.
I think everyone I saw with a camera or smart phone was taking photos of this crane at night as it was strung with coloured lights.
Guess what? I didn't bother adding to the mass, just this general daylight pic for reference.
Ipoh Riverfront park, costing 4.4mil Ringgit Malaysia, is developed under phase 1 of the Kinta Riverfront Project.
It is located just beside the Kinta River at the old town side (Kinta River is the divider of Ipoh Old Town and New Town). You will see the park on your left when you go along Jalan Sultan Iskandar Shah (Hugh Low Street).
This modern landscaped park has replaced the People's Park, which formerly used as car park and weekend flea market.
Knowing about the cost of building, I went to the park that day to take a look. I went passed the park before, and I was surprised when I went into the park instead and saw the children recreational pool.
Up from the crossbeam of pillars, water was pouring down. Children were playing happily.
There is a mamak food stall at the park. So, when you and your children are tired, thirsty and hungry of playing around, you have the place for food, drinks and even air-conditioned rest.
Despite the common garden with trees and flowers, and playground, the park is specially decorated with arches topped with mosque-like domes. So, it's a good spot for some photo shootings and dating too.
Oh yea, the last thing I want to mention about is the toilet! I think it's one of the prettiest public toilet of parks in Malaysia. It has a small roofless square placed with plants. My friend even took a picture in the toilet.
Ipoh Sar Hor Fun (沙河粉 ) is silky, smooth flat rice noodles served in a clear chicken and prawn soup with chicken shreds, prawns and spring onions.
One of the oldest curry mee legend in Ipoh - Chuan Fatt in Pasir Puteh serves their brand of fiery curry mee with sides of fried chicken wings, assam chicken, fried pork and more. www.j2kfm.com
Ipoh is named after a local tree known as "pokok Ipoh" (Ipoh tree) that can be found abundantly around Ipoh some time ago. Its tree sap is poisonous and therefore is used by the "orang asli" (native) on their blow darts as weapon. Sorry tree-huggers, this one can't be hugged!
Fat and fresh taugeh (beansprouts).
We were taken by my sister's friend's parents to this restaurant around 10pm for supper just to let us try out the famous Ipoh chicken & taugeh. To have such big meal around that hour is really not what I usually do, and I am not a bigger eater you know?? The family insisted on taking us for these Ipoh famous dishes as we were leaving Ipoh on the next day.
