Ipoh has welcomed many new restaurants & cafes lately, especially at the new shopping arcade of De Garden Mall. One of them is a strawberry specialty cafe Strawberry Moment Dessert Cafe that originated from Cameron Highlands, the famous strawberry plantation in Malaysia. On top of the tasty food, the cafe interior is cozy, charming & relaxing. There are some seats at open space for those who likes sunshine during day time or fresh air at night. I had a good lunch here & I do hope many others are enjoying too.
Hey there chun kee. Glad to see a good Ipoh blog; emphasis on simple images of our beloved city. :) I went to Strawberry Moment just now, but have yet to sit down for a strudel or two.
Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
