Fourth Day (Kota Bharu - Ipoh)

Hello all! Its been awhile since i updated the Road Trip. This is the Fourth Day where almost half the day is spent in the car, we decide not to use the same road back to KL hence we use the small trunk road to Ipoh. On the way we climb till Titiwangsa, Banjaran Titiwangsa which is the highest point of the road journey. This update might be bored for some people but i insist the purpose of this blog is to keep a journal of our memories. Hehe.... Enjoy k


From the left is Chang Yu and Shin. Still in Slumberland despite sleeping earlier than me

It's very monotone here and i find it rather interesting and peaceful

Jerry and Me out for a morning jog and to get breakfast for CY and Shin
Mengapa Bayar Lebih? Save money and Go Green at the same time

Chai's Random Photo - A square in KB where they got this clock tower

Chai's Random Photo - A different angle on the same view

The hotel is all white and black only with some selection of different 2 tone colour

While smoking i saw a small tug boat pulling a barge upstream

Damn good Malay Breakfast - Nasi Dagang and Nasi Lemak "Drools"

Interesting door in a Malay Kampung on the way to Pantai Cinta Berahi

Random Picture of Nothingness

The reason for shitting at every fast food joint, outdoor toilet and many different toilet

Pantai Cinta Berahi/Beach of Passionate Love which later on renamed Pantai Cahaya Bulan/Moonlight Beach. i guess the reason for that is the word berahi is almost similar to lust and simply deem not suitable in a malay state.

Very windy with violent waves maybe with violent lustful love. Hehehe

The view on our left
The view in front of us, the beach is clean but its not suitable for swimming. If you are able to swim successfully doing a few laps you might end up getting smashed by the waves on the rocks which would result in extensive bleeding of body parts. Hehe.. 

Pantai Cahaya Bulan 
I got no idea what is this building for, maybe for the passionate love. (=

On our way out we saw this strange Kuih called Bahulu Akok which is baked using coconut shell. 
It's texture kind of soft, mushy and taste lot like egg with flour. Real good too.

First Mcdonald we see in KB. No, Chang Yu did not shit in this Mcdonald outlet, or did he? Can't remember.

The Pasar 

Breakfast is great with all kinds of Malay Kuih. Its all damn good, salivating now.

Another stall of kuih-muih

Some gigantic prawn basically sold at every stall that sells nasi campur/mix rice

We found a big crack one above the other by almost 5-8 cm. Scary

Life shortening art! 

Some old traditional weighing machine with a special stall

Chinese Area of the market and this is telur puyuh/quail's egg

The stalls at the dry market area

The wet market area selling vegetables named New Central Market

There's lot to see here in this market. Nice architecture too 

Hunting for souvenirs - Handicrafts of some leaves.

Trying to bargain for the best price

We've got the family hat

Nice not? hehe

We stop to eat and this is some asam laksa. Not bad for not knowing what it is.

The fried chicken is not that good as expected

This is Asam Laksa and it sucks.

The stall selling for the noodle that look like Chee Cheong Fun and Asam Laksa. Damn cheap too. Each of those noodle only cost RM2.50

Our Lunch, from the left cold fried chicken, nasi dagang and plain rice, big farking prawns, the kuih. then below from the left is chee cheong fun noodle, asam laksa and beef broth noodle (this is good)

Beca - in line for Go Green

Our ride pack with pillows and all kinda stuff

This is some fried stuff i found at the pasar. i love this man. i am willing to drive all the way there to eat this. i can't find it in KL )=


Driving to Ipoh
After lunch we had some of the longest drive which is from KB to Ipoh passing places with funny names like Jeli.
Huge Pas Building

Some Sawah Padi

As usual - Shin Slumbering

Me and Chang Yu got bored so we took some pictures

We were stuck in a traffic jam and out of no where the lamb jumps out of nowhere tied under the scorching hot sun, Poor little thing.

We saw trees

Bridges
