Firefly Flies the Ipoh-Singapore Route! Come to Ipoh for some Hong Kee egg tarts?

May 30, 2009 | 406 views | 30 Comments »

Probably good news for Ipohans (or Ipohites, whichever sounds like music to your ears) working in Singapore, or Singaporeans intending to have a short vacation here in Ipoh (Or long, depends on each individual’s endurance run in Ipoh, or even the outskirts around Perak).

Firefly will be operating flights connecting Ipoh-Singapore commencing on July 12th 2009, flying out on alternate days (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun), with an initial plan for once a day flight. Finally Ipoh’s Sultan Azlan Shah airport (yup, we DO have one!) is being put to good use, rather than being an eyesore, with not even domestic flights operating since days of yore. But periodically, there had been flights operating the Ipoh-Medan route, if I’m not mistaken.

Sitiawan Food For Dummies – Half A Day’s Worth of Food Hunt

May 27, 2009 | 427 views | 36 Comments »

Third time’s the charm. Or so they say. For this month alone, I’ve visited Sitiawan/Seri Manjung not once, not twice, but THREE times. If you’re thinking, “What’s the deal with such a forsaken & ‘off-the-track’ town on the western coast of Perak?”

Kon Lou Mee – Dry soy sauce-tossed Foo Chow kampua noodle (RM2.40)

The FOOD, of course. And mind you, Seri Manjung/Sitiawan (the towns are almost borderless, both under the same district of Manjung) are NOT your idea of those idyllic, serene, backwater locations for the elderly to usher in the golden ages.

In fact, development has been rather rapid, with several shopping centres/hypermarket sprouting, a cineplex started operations sometime last year, new restaurants venturing into the scene, and a generally renowned interest in the district as a whole. (Lumut/Pulau Pangkor/Teluk Batik are also under the administration of Daerah Manjung, for your information) CONTINUE READING THE REST OF THIS ENTRY »

Indulgence Restaurant & Living, Ipoh – Teatime on a Lazy Saturday Afternoon

May 26, 2009 | 553 views | 45 Comments »

It’s been some time since I’ve dined at Indulgence (click HERE for previous instalment), hands down THE most exclusive, opulent, one of a kind restaurant in Ipoh. Wait, the term ‘restaurant’ alone just won’t do. Truth is, Indulgence is a Restaurant, & Living (A complete experience, referring to their boutique hotel), and has been performing outstandingly in the F& B scene, garnering various accolades from time to time.

Indulgence Restaurant & Living in Ipoh

For your information, the suites at Indulgence are elegantly designed with motives and influences from all over the world (think Moroccan, Thai and Shanghai). Different themes to suit different palates, so to speak. From RM420 ++ per night, it’s probably a once in a lifetime experience, given the posh location and painstakingly imagined, crafted and designed rooms.

From the exterior, resembles a bungalow more than a restaurant, is it not? CONTINUE READING THE REST OF THIS ENTRY »

One of the longest running on my list of to-try’s, Keng Nam coffee shop is a tricky one. Yes it was. You either come early for the curry mee, OR you arrive to witness them cleaning the deserted compound. CONTINUE READING THE REST OF THIS ENTRY »

Motormouth From Ipoh – Unveiled. Revealed. Exposed.

May 22, 2009 | 139 views | 18 Comments »

Sort of. Hahaha …. Got ya attention there, didn’t I? Nah, still no photo of this lowly ogre hibernating in a land called Ipoh (yet). But Feedmelah.com was miraculously enticed (in my own words, not theirs, hehe) by this Motormouth, hence the fruition of this e-mail interview.

Initially surprised, pleased, shocked etc to receive that e-mail from Stephen of Feedmelah.com. I was dumbstruck, dumbfounded, & plain dumb (that’s yours truly’s best trait). So it took some weeks before replying the questions imposed, which in nature, were NO mere pushovers.

Imagine ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ meets ‘Are you Smarter than A 5th Grader?’ … and you’ll get my drift. Good thing was that, I was not required to send a portrait of myself.

Else there goes the appetite of the millions and millions of readers. Not from my blog, of course. Feedmelah’s.

Anyway, seeing that it’s a FRIDAY after all, I won’t bore you any longer with my rant, but instead would like to leave you with the link to the interview. Do hop over, have a pleasant read, browse through, print out & frame it, feign interest, spit on your monitor if you would (but you wouldn’t, right? *puppy-eyed*) and do leave a comment at the end of the post. So Stephen can keep his job, and as the Cantonese saying goes, wont’ “Drop His Glasses“.
