Ipoh 怡保

Posted on January 23, 2023 by The Traveller

I took the coach from the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) in Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh for about S$8. The bus stopped at the Amanjaya bus terminal which is far from the city. From the bus terminal I could take Grab, which is about S$4.50, to the hostel where I have booked online but I did not. Instead, I waited for local shuttle bus to take me to the city and take another local bus to the hostel.

I stayed in The Beds in Garden Hostel which is run by a few young people. The place is clean and tidy and the people are friendly and helpful. There is a kitchen where you can bring your own food and cook your own meal. There is a self-service coin operated laundry shop next to the hostel. I had a nice stay in the hostel.

Malacca 马六甲

I took the bus from the Larkin bus terminal in Johor to Malacca. This is about 3 hours ride and costs about S$7. In Malacca, I stayed in this 4 Star Hatten Hotel with a Hatten shopping centre next to it. The main tourist attarctions are within 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Here are some pictures I have taken during my 4 days and 3 nights stay in Malacca.

Fast Food. Texas has unlimited refill of drink but I can drink 3 cups at the most.

Dim sum breakfast – very salty!

Johor Bahru 柔佛州新山

Posted on January 22, 2023 by The Traveller

People say that Johor is all about food and shopping. There is no much attractions for the tourists. I started my journey on the discovery of Johor Bahru by taking bus 950 from Woodlands interchange. I had to queue for about 3 hours to pass through the Johor Immigration and Customs which I think this is normal. The City Square and KSL City are the two popular places people will visit. I started my exploration from there.

The Kam Long Ah Zai Curry Fish Head (亚福街金龙阿仔咖喱鱼头) located at Jalan Wong Ah Fook is a must try because the queue is always long (long queue means good food?). There are also many other good and cheap food worth trying. Just look for the long queue and you wouldn’t be wrong.
