You can try the famous Dimsum resturants (there are 2 opposite each other), within walking distance from Syuen Hotel. Turn Left from Syuen Hotel entrance is a shopping mall (around 4 mins walk). Turn right from Syuen Hotel entrance is the Timsum resturants (located near Excelsior Hotel) around 8 mins walk.

 

The dim sum restaurants are called Ming kok and Fu San, I prefer Ming kok. Open before 7am

The most famous one is in the Ipoh old town, a restaurant called Kwong Heng

hi

 

i have some relatives from sitiawan which i go back often and its enroute to lumut, i am not sure if its the shortest route but lumut is one of the places i will go if i am in sitiawan

 

if u really interested i can plot the route for u.

 

NSH exit Bidor to sitiawan is about 150-200km i think, from there, its another 70km i think to lumut.

 

lotsa resorts there now but the drive is really :blink:

No prob... I've heard comments on both +ve & -ve abt Lumut and Pangkor Island. According to your experience, any nice food to try, place of interest (heard abt Leaning Tower) & culture?

Many thanks!

Just came back from Ipoh... Was overall a nice trip driving up in 4 cars for a 3d/2n. Food was great and so was the company of frens & kids too! But only the weather was pretty unbearable... [:p]

Very clean and new rooms, walking distance to the popular eateries like Lou Wong taugeh chicken and others. Only grouse is the lack of covered parking lots. You gotta park in an open carpark just beside the hotel but not to worry, it is guarded.
