Last Saturday, my family and I decided to go on a short trip to Ipoh. We were planning to just relax, go for some shopping, and try new foods. We started our road trip journey at around 9:30a.m.

When we reached Ipoh, the first thing we did was to go for lunch. We headed to Onn Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant, which was located next to Lou Wong Restaurant. The chicken was really soft and juicy, whereas the bean sprout was fresh and crunchy :) If you're looking for the best chicken rice shop, Onn Kee is the one you should go to!

After lunch, we went to check in at our hotel (French Hotel Ipoh), and headed to Aeon Station 18 to do some shopping. My brother bought a pair of shoes, and I got a beautiful dress. We then went to have some tea at Pancake House. The pancakes served there were absolutely FABULOUS. The waffles were soft and tasty when added with syrup too! Oh, it's been so long since I've tasted something as good as the pancakes and waffles in Pancake House.

After Pancake House, we continued shopping till approximately 6:00p.m. Then, we went to search for restaurants to have our dinner. We ended up in Tuck Kee Restaurant, located just a few shops away from Onn Kee Restaurant. Let's just say that dinner wasn't that pleasant because a) we had to wait really long to be seated as there were so many people, and b) due to the amount of people I guess the chef was too busy to do some quality control.
Dinner was done, and we headed back to our hotel to prepare for bedtime.
The next morning, we went to the Big Tree Food Garden to have our breakfast. We tried some fried durian, cempedak, and rice cake, which were all delicious and super crunchy! We also ordered two bowls of porridge and a bowl of kuey teow soup. It was a filling breakfast after all!
We decided to head home right after breakfast because we know that many people would be going back to KL, and we have to avoid the traffic jam. Although the trip to Ipoh was quite tiring, I managed to take a little rest before resuming to my daily works.
Stay tuned for more adventures! Have a great day :)
