I went up North to Ipoh yesterday for work. Left early in the morning at 6am and got there by 8.30am. Not too bad considering its my first time driving up there. I’m usually driven. 
As usual, when I go places I must eat the local offerings so I had:
- some Famous Hakka Mee stall I stumbled on
- Ipoh White Coffee
- Ipoh Chee Cheong Fun (rice rolls)
- Ipoh Sar Hor Fun (rice noodles with shredded chicken and prawn stock)
- Custard from a coffee shop that I saw everyone eating at.
Note that having the name Ipoh (insert name of food) immediately makes it a local speciality) hee… Comprehensive reviews will be posted up in time over on my Kitchen Experiments to keep the clutter here to a minimum (and also to generate traffic there lar….hehe) .
Anyway, no offence to Ipoh-mali people but my family and I have no luck with Ipoh. Everytime we go there, something’s bound to happen. Dad lost his mobile phone (in the days when the basic-est of the basic mobile costs over RM1000), Mom had her handbag snatched with her engagement ring in it ( 
she’s stopped carrying handbags because of a phobia of getting snatched again).
In my case, this happened:
My story will follow soon.
p/s  Photos were taken using my Samsung SGH-E830. Not too bad for a 2.0MP no auto-focus camera phone eh?

Oh dear.. I’m so sorry that it had to happen to you (though I can’t see how bad it was). Trust me, I know exactly how you’re feeling right now.
But yeah, do blog it, it’s a form of therapy too
*hugs*
Oh noooo….you got your car towed???
*waves hand up wildly* I know where you got that custard. At a corner coffee shop called Yeh Lai Hong or something like that right?
Sorry to see what happened up there. Hope the car has been sorted out
Oh no! What happened to your car?
The custard looks good though…
What happened to the car??? Oh no, hope it’s all ok now.
Each time I think of Ipoh, I think of the miserable 6 months I spent there during my stint in Sales. I hated every minute of it, the only good thing about Ipoh was the food and cheap rent.
I am so going to have Ipoh sar hor fun this weekend! you got me craving for it… *slurp*
PB says: That’s the beauty of Oz – you get everything!

Everythings sorted now
