Ipoh City Wanderer

Hi. Basically i Went to Bandar Ipoh on Sunday which is on the 25th May 2014. So called a wanderer. But, i wasnt alone for sure. It was all planned by Kak Lydia, Asnym, Adeeb and Ajik. Zakee from my batch was following also.

The night before, kak Lydia gave me a call at 12 am to ask me wether i want to join them to go to Pasar Karat or not. And my answer will obivously be YES. We reached there at about 9 am. I was overslept actually. I wouldn't have been awake if Adeeb didn't call me. It was already 7.34 at that time. Not as promised, he promised to fetch me and Zakee at 7 early in the morning. It is because i stayed up late until 3 am. Just to finish my group assignment. My mistake. I know. I felt so embarassed with myself. Ergh. Then i said sorry hoping for everything would be fine.

Pasar Karat was really an interesting place. From the name itself, what would be the first thing that comes across your mind? Rusted steel? Hahaha no way. It is simply like a flea market or Pasar Tani if you ever been to any. Well i love to go to these places. Leather bags, shoes, clothes, CDs and cassetes. Oh not no forget, antique stuffs! The only thing that catches my eyes a lot is the leather handbags!. Eventhough those are not new stuff but still, they are in a good condition. And the prices are also reasonable. And worth buying of course! Try to go once. You wont be losing anything except for money maybe. Haha. Oh i bought a sling canvas+knitted bag only for rm 5. Really worth buying!

So next we went to plan B. Since Ajik need to go there to finish up his project. Kak Lydia showed me this one path / lane which is the backside of the shoplots. Good things about the shoplots here in Ipoh is, it still maintains the locality, heritage since the British clonizer came here. The structure of the buildings still strong and beautiful.
Not only plan B, lots of cafe shop and restaurant in one row that display uniqeness of their own cafe. They are Burps &Giggles, Buku Tiga Lima amd Missing Marbles. I love each of the shops concept that jave made me admire those so much. Lots of handmade stuff like the lamps, chandelier and chairs. So the menu boards. I super loved them. It makes me want to redecorate my room. We went to each of the shops my we ate at the Burps and Giggles.
We decided not to eat at Plan B because it is a little bit pricey. But at Burps & Giggles, the price is quite reasonable. Like me, ive ordered Fish and Chips which costs RM 16 with Watermelon Apple - Rm 12. Same goes to Ajik except for the drink, he ordered lime water. And Lydia ordered chicken burgerfor rm 12. And the taste was good. No regrets. Oh but dont provide chilli sauce. So bring by your own. Haha. I can say, we ate peacefully.


Loads of photograph taken. I really love the place. Really a cool place to hangout with friends and family of course. This would be my first time but not the last i certainly sure. Wish to go here with my girls and my parents. InshaaAllah.
