Although living so many years in Ipoh, I still miss out some local nice and delicious foods. It was one day my colleague passed me a kaya puff. I can still feel the heat when holding the puff and at my first bite, the crispy shell and smooth kaya stuffing simply melted me. I quickly asked for the address and later made a trip to New Town searching for this shop. It was not too hard to locate it because there are only 6 blocks of shop on both sides of Clare Street and when walking nearby this shop, probably 4 or 5 units away, I could already smell the aroma of biscuit. I arrived with a long queue of customer patiently waiting for their turn to make an order. The owner and workers were non stopping packing like a machine. There are not only kaya puff but also many other choices of biscuit, such as "heong peng 香饼", salted egg biscuit, Tambun biscuit, "kah lui peng 嫁女饼" and many ready-packed famous local products. ... Unfortunately, when I reach the shop, my camera battery ran flat and I can only capture its image with my mobile phone's VGA camera at lower resolution. Anyway, you should still see the popularity of its product from the long queue of patient customer. For larger quantity purchase, a pre-order by phone is advisable.

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.
