Taiping Part II

I was back in town the last weekend to visit mommy. Since I was back there, just wanted to show you around this small little town called "Taiping" which means peace, where I grew up in.

Taiping Wan Tan Noodle is always unique for me and no where else tasted the same. This shop is just next to the KFC in town. Only RM2.40 / plate.
I am surprise that during a recent 8TV review on budget holiday, they did not feature Bismillah as one of the must-go place for roti canai breakfast. Above is a glass of Teh tarik with fresh cow milk. It's creamy.
What is so special about Bismillah's roti canai is it's "kari serbuk". Ask for that if you were ever there.

Weather in Taiping has been very warm the last trip I went back. This is the place to go. It's right below of Larut Matang building or opposite Chinese Methodist Church. This is the place I normally hang out after a hot day marching under the sun during St. John weekly meeting on a Saturday.
They called the place "Shuiet San" in mandarin which means Snow Mountain. There is no snow mountain ice kacang on this picture simply because we didn't order them. What we have here is Lin Chi Kang with blended ice on the right, white sugar in the middle, and a normal ice kacang with ice cream. Here you can get a fruit juice for only RM1.20.
One of Taiping's signature Fried Kuey Teow is the one fried with fish ball and char siew.
Fried oyster or o-chien is quite popular in this hawker building too.

Jalan Panggong Wayang. The hill at the back is Maxwell Hill. A bit hazy though.
One of the place where you can get good bargain is the Bazaar.
Countless sweat and tears I have poured out for the sports called swimming. The place where I grew up as a kid. But I am glad I went through it.
Evening sky in Taiping.
The Taiping Prison was built in 1879. 129 years ago.
Clock Tower. Still "ringing".
One of the streets of Taiping where I once roamed. The second house was actually my grandma's house where I used to hang out.

This was my mode of transportation to school. Nope, no mountain bikes, or any fancy bicycles.
New addition to the town in Taiping. It's one of the most happening places around in Taiping now. Just right opposite the housing area where I am staying.
This is going to commence soon. End of the month. Apparently there will be Starbucks and also Cineplexes in this building. It is just right next to Tesco.

There you go. Will try to take more photos of the Lake Gardens in my next trip back.

Do pray for mom, as she is not feeling well.
