Highlights of Ipoh

 

Obek’s kampung. I remembered going there when I was super young by bus. So this time we took a flight instead. 

It’s so nice that at least 3 of my cousins staying so near to her. Meriah. 

POV from above. Amazed by all the fluffy clouds.

This was our take-off. We had to take a bus to board the plane in the rain but SG being SG, the bus stopped directly at the ladder so that we’re sheltered from getting wet. Flight was at 7 so we had to be at airport by 4.45am. 

Had Popeyes, prayed subuh and managed to grab my perfume as well. Son got his soft toy from Changi Rewards redemption too. Happy je eh. And it’s a norm for planes to queue before take-off at Changi. 

Before reaching the homestay, Bro drove us to grab brunch. Bought nasi kandar, went Watsons (he even bought Hotwheels here no less) then finally reached homestay after almost 2 hours. While waiting for another cousin to reach, we went to this Callduck Coffee House.

The desserts were so ducky cute and we went to take pictures with real ducks after our tea break! Lucky la the son didn’t sulk cos we didn’t bring him along and I gotten him the Duck keychain.

Eldest cousin’s house just opposite Obek’s. 

Really huge piece of land. Wedding at kampung super meriah. Cousin got kambing golek, cendol and ice cream station. He even got Bawean silat group to perform.

So cool!

This was our homestay. It was great as it can accommodate all 10 of us and we have our own rooms. And we had our meals together.  

Truly Ipoh experience living among the locals.

This has got to be one of my fave highlights. 

It was hot and spicy and you see covered for hygiene kan. The one at Empire Sushi was exposed all the time and cold. Tsk. Wondered when I can return to have more. 

We spent almost RM100 eh just at the family mart for sandwiches and Onigiri.

I’m pretty sure the son enjoyed his Year End holidays this time because Alhamdulillah we went for our Umrah trip and ends the school break with a short Ipoh trip with the extended family as well as my cousins. Fun, challenging and so memorable. He experienced the Kampung wedding vibes, witnessed Silat and gamelan and hope he can learn not to take for granted what we have been blessed with.
