Taiping and Kuala Sepetang Trip

KK: We did not plan this trip. I was driving together with HM to north when she said she want to go Cameron Highland. I of course turn back to south. But after a while, I suggest we just go Taiping since Cameron Highland is further and need more planning. So we go straight to Taiping which took 1 hour plus.

In Taiping, we stay in a hotel in the town and proceed to find food. I try to find cendol and managed to find it after a few turns. We proceed to eat dinner at restaurant nearby. After rest a while in hotel, we go to Zoo Taiping for night safari. This is the first time for me and there's a lot of people there queueing up. There's a shorter queue in lane 2. I feel a bit weird and so I ask HM to queue at longer queue at lane 1. We communicate through phone. Hahaha....

When lane open, only lane 2 and 4 open. I'm lucky to queue at lane 2. After getting the ticket, I bought 2 corn in cup and eat while taking ride around Taiping Zoo at night. After visiting the zoo, we go to play at amusement park and then taking late night supper.

Early morning before 8am, we reached hill leg of Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill). Riding 4WD up the hill is taxing. We're flung around when the driver doing a corner. Luckily we did not eat anything. The view is great at the top of the hill. After loitering around for 2 hours, we took the 10am 4WD to go down. We're very hungry and ate popiah and dim sum. After checking out, we drove to Kuala Sepetang for Prawn Mee (Famous Mi Udang Banjir Mak Teh). HM took 10 prawn in and I'm happy. Hehe... the day ended by visiting Kuala Sepetang charcoal factory.

HM: After back from the trip our's shoes spoil because we walk around the hill without wearing suitable shoes. My shoes is in very bad condition compare to hubby... i have to change to other shoes after coming down from Maxwell Hill. During this trip we try new flavor of cendol which is Cendol pulut, hubby order Cendol pulut but he didn't ate the pulut so weird.. haha.. I have to finished the pulut by myself. About the famous Prawn Mee i ate the big blow of mee udang myself which is nice by the way.. Hubby only taste a bit due to the cendol and pasembur he ate earlier.

In the Zoo taiping trip, we saw a lot of monkey hanging around the car park area. The monkey was there because there are foods left by visitor who visited the Zoo earlier. We went to the Zoo taiping at night so there is nothing much to see because it was to dark, but we enjoy it, it is something different... we try to snap a few picture using my hp because my hubby camera doesn't have flash.. huhu...
