Motormouth From Ipoh – Asian Food & Travel Blog

By now, if you haven’t heard of Burps & Giggles in Ipoh, then you probably should read up on that review first. Will save me a lot of effort in relaying the story behind this extension of a project named “Buku Tiga Lima”; literally translated to Triple 5 Book.
