Day two~~ 

For the second day, Milky and I managed to wake up at 8.30am but Kuma Kuma was still lazing at the bed until 10am in the morning.

At 12noon, we had our brunch at Larut Matang hawker center. We had the most famous fish ball noodles and Honeydew Mountain or me kua chium. We also had some hokkien mee and some tasty fried chicken at the hawker center. All of these cost us just around RM17 and it worth it as we had our full stomach. ^_^

We had some hot conversation at the hawker center too for around an hour. After that, we had our ride to the Sentosa Villa which is a hideaway to relax the mind. Sentosa villa is a mini resort amongst luxurious elegant country housing in Taiping. It is located between Maxwell Hill and the famous Taiping Lake Garden, the first public garden established during the British colonial era in Malaya.






 At Sentosa villa, you will be able to breathe cool and fresh country air away from the bustle of the city centre. It is surrounded by lush forest greenery. There is some villa for family vacation, for honeymoon purposes and bungalow chalet for tourists. 
Each morning, you will wake up to the sound of the flowing stream and the chirping of birds on the branches outside your window. 
At Sentosa villa, you can touch the colourful butterflies and enjoy the peace and harmony of the nature. We welcome you to have this wonderful rejuvenating experience and awesome landscape at Sentosa Villa.




 If you are interested to stay or visit Sentosa Villa for vacation or photo shoot purposes, you can check more information from www.sentosa-villa.com

We did not manage to walk to the end of Sentosa Villa as it was starting to rain as usual haha. We expected it as we were in Taiping the raining town.

cendol and pasembor :)

 We ended our trip and went to have our snack at Restaurant Ansari Famous Cendol together with Ted who came back from work. We had some cendol which mixed with red bean and pulut. It is famous because of the pulut panggang which eat with the cendol desert. Ted got a plate of pasembor for us to share and he was back to be our photographer haha.

 Eventhough it was still raining, we managed to take a few shoot at The First Gallery with the antique Telok Chempedak 22125 train and the antique red telephone booth outside the gallery. On the way back to Kuma Kuma’s house, we had some shoot in the car with Ted’s lou po.

Then, we rested for a few hours at home recharging ourselves and recharging the DSLR battery because it was really tiring. 


At home, we copied the pictures we had and we were really satisfied as most of the pictures are beautiful. DSLR really is a good camera as it can focus clearly even we are shaking when we are taking pictures. It cost Ted for about 2K for that camera. 

Frankly saying, I do love having a camera and taking pictures around especially the nature and people but I cannot afford a good camera at this moment. 




Last time when I had my first nokia handphone, I used to enjoy taking a lot of pictures of the scenery and myself. It was just two megapixels and yet, the picture’s focus is really clear and nice. However, I lost the handphone and I am still waiting for my new Sony Ericson with 5 megapixels. I was expecting of owning it in a few weeks time. =) hopefully.

the first handphone i ever had in my life

After two hours of resting and blogging, Ted drove us to the Matang Mangrove Forest or known as Hutan Paya Laut Matang. We saw some kera and small tiny crab at the mangrove forest. We got to see a woodpecker flying around the mangrove tree too. We also snap some pictures posing on the boat near the mangrove area. 


Basically, the mangrove forest does not have any special activities or other nice landscape except the mangrove trees. It is treated as a place for researchers or students to learn and study about mangrove forest and nature.

After around one hour of walk at the mangrove forest pathway, Ted drove us to Kuala Sepetang night market because Kuma Kuma want some sotong ball. We got to try some seafood tauhu from the same stall as sotong ball. Both are quite crispy with the flour and they sprinkle some pepper and curry powder after they fried it.

it is sotong ball and seafood tauhu.
very nice .
i want to eat again

After that delicacy snacks, we went for our dinner at a restaurant at Kuala Sepetang. Kuala Sepetang is famous for ??? haha.. seafood ~ yummy :)  Ted ordered three dishes which were the salted egg hey kor or called as lai liu har in cantonese, salad prawn and sotong in kam heong style. ..sambal kind …  J

It costs about RM45 for the entire three dishes and two plate of plain rice and a pot of pui er tea…

After had some walk around tesco, we went for a supper at Kamunting roadside for the famous wo tan hor and yee mee.

The wo tan hor is the most nice noodles for me since childhood. Then only the fish ball noodles at Larut Matang as my second favourite noodles at Taiping. My family used to buy the wo tan hor and yee mee otten at night as we were driving back home after visit popo house at Kamunting. It had been a tradition for us, but the tradition had become a history as my dad got his stroke when I was in standard two and we did not go to Kamunting that often. 




The stall at the side of the main road beside the esso petrol station opens only at night time. It was really delicious and famous with the noodles.


hmmm... ~ 


 If I am not mistaken, the stall is more than 25 years old. Most of the retreat we had was treated by Ted and Kuma kuma. We are really grateful to have them as our tour guide and friends.

crazy d lo haha

Even after we came back and has our shower, we did not stop taking pictures of ourselves as we were so fascinating with DSLR. We really enjoy ourselves taking pictures with that good camera. We did some stupid and crazy plus funny pose in Kuma Kuma’s room. Haha. That is all for tonight…. J

They slept early than me again as I went to bed at 2am after finish blogging at Microsoft word as there is no internet connection available. Later when I had the chance only I copy and paste plus some proofread to my new blog =)
