We booked the KTM tickets few days before the departure day. With the E-tickets in hand, we're waiting for the sot taxi to pick us up. It was Friday and we forgot that it was JAM LIKE HELL!!! While waiting for the ordered taxi, we took some pictures to mark the start of our Ipoh journey..The last for me and the first for Subha..

[18.20 | 30/10/2009]
Thanks to Sally that helped us to take our picture..haha..
Subha was overly excited and willing to take pictures everywhere and everytime during the journey..haha.. We just realized that the taxi is not coming, and we'll be late for the train!! ARGH..So, we walked out in front of Sri KL to catch a taxi, but couldn't get any...and the road was full of stopping cars..Friday=Jam!!! ><
So, we walked to Mcd and got a taxi there..it was way to jam and the taxi can only drive very slowly..I almost gave up because the time was really packed now..No idea if can reach KL Sentral in time..

[19.35 / 30/10/09]
In KTM from Subang KTM to KL Sentral.
Can you even imagine? The train to Ipoh is 20.00 and 19.35 we're still in KTM going to KL Sentral?? Reaching KTM during that time was even a miracle..maybe a part of my 94% luck on that day..haha..We ran to Subang KTM from the bridge in front of Carrefour..that's why my hair really looks bad in the above picture..haha..
After we arrived in KL Sentral, we ran till our last breath to the Ipoh train. We got in to the train at 19.55...just 5 minutes before the time..wow..94% luck really...I was really happy that we made it to the train on time..
The train got a canteen inside..luckily..haha..so I could buy drinks and food from it..Just that the food was not nice, small, and expensive..=.="..monopoly really...
When we reached Tapah Road Station (the train stop in every big station on our way to Ipoh), the train stopped there for 1.5 hour..DAAAAAMN...there was something wrong and they need time to repair it...luckily I walked out and asked a guy...He said that a train is coming and we can change to that train if we want to go to Ipoh..
So, we ran our ass off again to pass the bridge to another platform..just in time that the train come..=.=" We had to stand on the train, because no seat was available..the train was also an intercity train...We had to wait for other people to get down from the train, then only we can sit somewhere...
We reached Ipoh by 1.00 am...CRAZY...5 hours from KL to Ipoh...We rode on a taxi to Joyce's condo and this time, Joyce was the one so excited to take the night pictures in Ipoh..Cox it's my last time here..I was not in the mood already, cox I can't eat wan tan hor once I reached Ipoh!!!! GYAAAAH!!
Once we reached the condo, we changed and chat...Ended up sleeping around 3 am...Woke up at 10 am and cleaned the house...And we're ready for Ipoh Parade!

[12.23 | 31/10/09]
Best green tea ice cream you can ever think of~!
Reached Ipoh parade around 12 and we bought a bread, just to keep us a bit full...cox we're not going to have lunch here..Chicken rice is waiting for our lunch~!
We walked around and Subha shopped some stuffs..I bought 2 packs of food erasers for Lania...those kind of erasers are really cheap there..
The only thing I like in Ipoh parade is the green tea ice cream there..Best that you can ever have!!! It's only RM2.50! When you lick it, you can feel the small particles of green tea entering your mouth, and don't forget the mouth watering smoothness of the ice cream.

[12.39 | 31/10/09]
Playing in Living Cabin.
We went to Living Cabin there and Subha is really excited about all the soft toys there..haha..Gotta drag her out of Ipoh Parade to meet the best chicken rice around..

[14.41 | 31/10/09]
Too late for lunch? No! Never late for the juiciest chicken here!
The time was almost 3 pm when we reached the nasi ayam store and we still have to queue to get a seat. Imagine how famous is the chicken rice store...=.=...It's not really a lunch time already right...

[14.46 | 31/10/09]
Best soya milk I ever had...Not that sweet, but just NICE..
Luckily didn't need to wait for so long..and the drinks came very fast...While waiting for the food, my herbal tea egg fell down and all the soup poured out =.=" What a mess...

[14.46 | 31/10/09]
Herbal tea egg doesn't have soup anymore =.=
The herbal tea egg was bought from the same store as the green tea ice cream...it's very nice because you can taste the flavour even from the deepest part of the egg.

[14.47 | 30/10/09]
Waiting for the food...

[14.50 | 31/10/09]
All the food was served...
The beansprout here is not as nice as the one in nga choi gei shop..hahahaha...but the chicken is very juicy..not hard like those you eat in KL...The soya sauce that came with the chicken also is very nice...The best chicken rice that I just can't resist...

[15.14 | 31/10/09]
Less than half an hour the war is finished..haha
Very full and satisfied..haha..But still, the culinary journey is ON!!!

[15.19 | 31/10/09]
In front of the Ipoh Famous tau fu fa..
Just walked across the road, there's the famous tau fu fa...Full and almost dying, still...I can't resist the tantalizing dessert..

[15.21 | 31/10/09]
The tau fu fa with soya milk.
This famous tau fu fa didn't come with brown sugar or any other sugar..It came with soya milk. The tau fu fa texture is very smooth. So soft and so much better than KL's. Soya milk gave a whole different experience in eating it. The first tau fu fa that came with a soya milk for me..I'm still craving for it now...=.=

[15.22 | 31/10/09]
Posing with tau fu fa..
We only ordered 1 bowl of tau fu fa and 1 bowl of cendol...share share together...I wish I could eat more tau fu fa...=.=...The cendol also very nice!!!

[15.24 | 31/10/09]
Cendol.
After we ate, we took a picture with the seller uncle...just it's in Subha's camera..so, I can't post it yet..haha...The funny thing was, the uncle was the one offering to take picture with him..HAHAHAHHA..Aiyo uncle...now I know you like to camwhore also..haha

[15.39 | 31/10/09]
In front of yim guk gei shop..
Crossing another junction and you'll arrive in yim guk gei shop...haha..this is really a junction of food..all the best food in Ipoh is just steps away.. The building is really eye catching right...They sell hundred boxes of chicken everyday...I wonder how many chicken die in Ipoh every day...Let them rest in peace...
We walked to Ipoh food shop to grab some authentic Ipoh food...then walked back to Joyce's condo..passing through her high school and other famous food store..just that we couldn't eat anymore...haha..walking is the best way to know a city, right?! (and to digest food faster so that we can eat yim guk gei at home..haha)

[17.00 | 31/10/09]
Inside look of eaten yim guk gei..HHAHHAHAHA
Sorry ya...the photographer is not as fast as the barbars...they ripped off the leg of the pityful chicken...=.=

[17.01 | 31/10/09]
Sakai(s) eating chicken leg..=.="
Proven that it's just soooo nice...until these girls ate without manner...hahahahaha
After eating, we're really sleepy...cox it's raining...Rolled rolled a while on the bed and suddenly the rain stopped...So, me and Subha dragged Joyce out to SWIM!!!
Who knows actually still drizzling..Then, we swam in the rain..haha..f-ing cold wei...wahahaha...Did sauna after the swimming session as well...
Then, we bathed and got ready for Joyce's family..They're going to bring us for wan tan hor!!!! yayayayayayayay!!

[20.33 | 31/10/09]
Chicken leg..Joyce's favourite!
It was still raining when we reach Restaurant Tuck Kee there..luckily still can get a seat..hahaha..

[20.35 | 31/10/09]
Octopus..

[20.37 | 31/10/09]

[20.41 | 31/10/09]

After all the dishes were served, we really ate a lot...haha...my last chicken leg!!!! =.=
We watched some football matches at home and off to sleep...other food are waiting for us tomorrow!!!

[09.23 | 1/11/09]
Dimsum in Ipoh
This dimsum place is famous..and yet I have no idea what's the name of the shop wei =.="
The super big bun got a lot of stuffs inside..including egg..haha...Everything is nice..when I'm not thinking of weight gain..haha

[09.31 | 1/11/09]
Crispy yam dim sum.
The crispy yam is really CRISPY...got meat inside...it smelled very nice also. Then, off to some sight seeing place in Ipoh...

[10.35 | 1/11/09]
Turtle pond at the back of a temple.
To get to the back of this temple, gotta pass by praying area of the temple..I was really scared that my phone would ring there..no idea what will they do if it really happened..haha..There was a few temples there and they're surrounded by cliffs..

[12.10 | 1/11/09]
In front of Gua Kek Look Tong.
We drove to another place nearby...it's a natural Gua...that worked as a temple as well.. Inside it, a beautiful place exist...

[12.21 | 1/11/09]
Inside the Gua Kek Look Tong
Can you ever imagine that you're playing as a star in Narnia movie? You will when you see this. A marvelous place revealed behind a usual area...It's very windy and nice to sleep there..haha..Ipoh is really a mountain city...
Then, it's lunch time!!! Gonna eat D-U-C-K!!

[13.21 | 1/11/09]
The dishes...duck, shellfish, fish, and chicken..
It's Subha's first time to eat duck and shellfish..I'm really surprised to hear that...I thought everyone eat that..=.=...Really gotta hang out with chinese if you want to eat all the funny funny stuffs yeah..haha..After that, went back home and bath~~~

[16.32 | 1/11/09]
The last look of Joyce's room
Just before we left, I took this picture..the last picture I'll have there...and the first picture of the brother that I post here..hhahahaha..Off to Nga Choi Gei Shop now~~~ Last meal in Ipoh before leaving to KTM..

[16.52 | 1/11/09]
Nga choi gei.
The chicken is again..so juicy..just that the style of cooking is a bit different..the beansprout is even better than all the beansprouts before...and the hor fun is very soft and slippery...haha..very nice!!

[17.46 | 1/11/09]
Last look in Ipoh KTM station..
Now, another unlucky story in KTM will begin...In our coach, there's no aircond..the aircond is broken and the electrician can't repair it...what does M'sian engineers study actually? wtf..
Sitting down without aircond for 3 hours? CRAZY...I changed my jeans for a shorts inside the train toilet...felt better...15 minutes from reaching KL Sentral, suddenly the train stopped in the middle of nowhere...Stopped for 1 hour...damn...I asked the cleaners why...and the greatest answer you can ever have...is..LAMPU MERAH...wth...

[21.40 | 1/11/09]
The stupid lampu merah...I supposed to reach KL Sentral by 21.00!!!!
The train worker wrote a note for us so that we can refund the aircond fees in the counter later...Who knows, they take super long time to type in to the computer and ended up not refunding in cash..only will gave back the money in Joyce's credit card...1 person also only refunded RM4...wat la...dono they will actually refund it or not..=.=
Super super pissed off by KTMB...

[22.17 | 1/11/09]
Inside KTM back to Subang...
And there's the end of the Ipoh journey...I would like to go back to Ipoh to EAT someday..just maybe not by KTM if can...no quality and responsibility really...
