Being in Ipoh part 2

This post is mainly on the place I visited over the weekend. Beware, it's gonna be picture-ful post!
南香蛋挞- Nam Hiong egg tart
One of the recommended (by friends) food I must have in Ipoh. I like the egg tart because its crispy crust and it is filled with a thick soft, aromatic layer of egg. You may  remember I did mention this egg tart in my previous entry and wondering why I talk about it again this time. Aha. The purpose of taking this pic is that I want to show my mom how the scrumptious egg tart looks like - the thickness of the crust and its filling, as she is learning to make egg tart now! oh Nom~Nom~Nom~


Bear Tree 
A tree that bears the resemblance of bear head which can be found outside Kellie's Castle. It took me quite some times to figure out where is the bear head. Can you spot the bear head?

The interior design of their room (daughter, Helen and Son, Anthony ).. Wondering if the wall was meant to hold the big portrait of the family members! You can find 4 frames like the above in each room!

At the top of the castle..Beware of tripping and falling down from the castle! There are no walls or fences here that keep you from falling~

My favourite picture of the day- It kinda reminds me of the building in the music video of  We Belong Together sung by Mariah Carey.

Kellie's Castle 
Ticket price to visit: RM4
Attraction point: Come here to take some pictures with the partly ruined castle. The wine cellar is dark and exciting!!



Then, we stopped at Sauk and had the chance to taste the local food.
Fried and steam fish balls at a chinese restaurant in Sauk
I like these fish balls. They are springy as you sink you teeth in them!
Their signature tofu
MEH...it is so so...I believe my mom's cooking is way better than their SIGNATURE tofu.
百须公- river fish
It is nice with its sweet fresh flesh.
they say it is paku-pakis....but is paku-pakis edible???

Me finishing off the remnant


After having the delicious (I dont think it worth the money and effort to travel this far into the secluded village just to eat) lunch, we went to Lenggong, Perak to visit an Archeology Gallery.
Archeology gallery
The gallery features the 3 main prehistoric eras (Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze age) existed in Malaysia. 

One of the creepy skeletons found in the gallery. There are a lot of prehistoric tools can be found here!





Back at home at night, my friend's brother came home from Cameron Highlands and Ta-dah....
