1997: Kampar, Perak

Kampar (Chinese:金宝）is a town in the state of Perak, Malaysia. Founded in 1887, the town lies within the Kinta Valley and located in the newly-created Kampar District, an area rich with tin reserves. There were many tin mines on the outskirts of Kampar during the height of the mining boom. Most of them were established in the late 19th century, flourished in the 1900s, only to stagnate and decline after World War I, with the exception of an exhilarating boom in the 1920s. Most have closed down following the collapse of the industry.

you know what? I think Wikipedia should change their description of Kampar soon to maybe something like this; Kampar (Chinese:金宝）is a town in the state of Perak, Malaysia. The town which offers too much of good food that you feel guilty for not eating but after you've ate it, your tummy will become bigger and happier and once you've ate the food that this food-filled town offers, the numbers on your scale will increase.

without further ado, let the food make you hungry.

left the hous around 7, reached around 8 something! this was a road-side store that's kind-of popular among the people here!

the store sells really really good kuih especially the yam cake and the white cake thing that's taken out from a tiny bowl!!!

the noodles were pretty good too!

I TELL YOU THE BEANCURD SKIN AND THE CURRY FISHBALL IS AMAZING. SERIOUSLY!!

Some of the kuih that they sell! The white one has coconut in it, when I ate it, it was so chewy, I almost choked. No lie!

Yam crust things with meat inside? I don't know what's it called in English lah, I just know it's called wu tau kok and it's superbly good man.

WHEN I TOOK MY FIRST BITE, I TELL YOU, THERE WAS LIKE FREAKING STEAM COMING OUT, AND LIKE THERE WERE LIKE SAUCE OOZING OUT. OMG.

The woman behind all the good food!

When I took this picture, she purposely "posed" for this and told me to write nice things about her shop.

hahahahahahahahahah so cute right!!!

told you it's quite popular! there were like super lot of people coming and going just to get food!!

the stuff that I couldn't eat while walking. I asked for extra potatoes and fishball. omg.

ordered another bowl of curry pan mee, super lot of filling and the total of everything was only RM18 FOR THREE BOWLS. THREE I TELL YOU!!!!

No Malaysian breakfast will be completed without these two.
Milo ice and coffee! RM2.60 ONLY FOR BOTH. Everything here is omg cheap.

Went to the really famous Yau Kee restaurant!

My grandfather goes there almost everyday that my grandmother and my mother secretly thinks that he had bought the shop over or something. wtf.

Duck soup! This goes with the duck noodles, forgot how much it was but it was pretty cheap. Didn't try it so I couldn't comment on it. Sorry! ): BUT IT DID SMELL REALLY GOOD.
