  • Day 3: Perak Tong & Nasi Ganja Food Adventure In Ipoh With MK.

    Perak Tong Cave Temple |poh, Perak

    Morning, chanting, and a view worth every step. The best time to visit is in the morning. This was my first time to be impressed.

    The artwork on the walls, the giant Buddha inside the cave, the quiet — it’s very impressive.

    Climbing with intention hits different.

    I chanted, prayed with both hands, and set my goal before going up. Body was tired. Spirit wasn’t.

    The climb wasn’t as bad as Borobudur in Jogja. But the energy here?

    Just as sacred.It got slippery near the cliff. And the cool breeze was hitting me from all sides 😂

    Just a few more steps to the peak.

    Thank god there was shade and a bench. Sat there, cooled down, then started the walk back down.

    The energy here makes me feel light and free.

    I came for more than a getaway.

    To stay open. To stay grounded on this earth.

    I’ve always wanted to live a life of adventure.

    Surprisingly, what I sought was seeking me.

    It was never easy.

    But the writing, the excitement, and these experiences…

    That’s what I love about being a traveler and blogger.

    Being here right in the moment made me feel happy, free, and light. #BornFreeNow,

    to fuel that freedom: Nasi Ganja.

    By 1 PM. I was hungry again the best part was having a food place just right next to my hotel Say Haa Inn. As it was cheap, affordable and delicious too.

    They had a variety of dishes which welcomed many locals to dine in.

  • Day 2 In Ipoh: Watputhanmttam to – Late Night Biryani Bukhara Chicken Tom Yum Soup 😋

    A Slow burner as I had Waffles and Coffee for breakfast. I made myself out to the Watputhanmttam Thai Temple.

    It was a huge surprise for me, I felt like I was re-centered back again in India 😂.

    Day 2 Midnight Soup Run; Restoran Nasi Briyani Bukhara.

    I woke up late. Still before midnight. Stepped out of the room to brush up, and the cool crisp air hit me. Mid-toothbrush, my brain went: soup. So I followed it.

  • Day 1: Jalan lah MK,The Ipoh Adventure Continues..

    As I landed in Ipoh. I started feeling some jittery from my foot til my skin on my arms like a static shock 😂. Maybe it’s the excitement as it’s my first time in Ipoh.

    While in the plane listening to Hanuman chalisa. I saw two episodes of 2 Broke Girl$ on prime. Just about 50mins from KL, isn’t that cool?

    Saw a good deal from Booking.com and it is the best location and price was just right too.

    After keeping my bagpack I was browsing and researching on Google on what to eat for dinner I was hoping for the Ngah Choi Gai – Bean Sprout Chicken. As I saw on Best Food in Ipoh: Famous Ipoh Hor Fun, White Coffee, Snacks and Food Factories.

    Side of the first restaurant of onn Kee unfortunately it was closed despite the Google says open til 9pm

    Unfortunately the two Onn Kee Chicken rice was closed even though it has 2 restaurants just opposite of each other. So I had to slowly see for other shops til I witnessed a few good one’s.

    I was glad as the next door had chendol which is also a not to be missed especially when it’s 🥵 ☀️ day. Stay Tuned for more;

    The best part of living at the Miners House was the cost of the whole stay only cost me 183.90MYR which is only $57.90 which also includes free breakfast and it’s very convenient to get grab to reach most places.

  • Langkawi Day 2: 14 Nov 2025

    As I start my day I was looking forward to swim at the beach. I was so glad because it was not as crowded. I took a slow walk as it wasn’t as near but it’s a good thing to burn some of calories.
