Jimny with Chicken and Aunties at Pantai Bagan Nakhoda Omar
There is an uncle who serves ”Ding Bian Hu”, I always visit for breakfast in Sitiawan was closed today…
So we went to another favorite noodle shop at Kampung Koh. Their Kamupua Mee and Lu Lak(卤叻=Loh mee +Laksa mix)are very tasty. Especially their garlic vinegar is matching any kind of noodle~!
Sitiawanに来たら必ず寄る朝食処、福州ヌードルのおっちゃんのお店が今朝は休業。
なのでもう一軒、いつもお昼に行くKampung Kohにあるヌードルショップに。Sitiawanといえば、もっちり太めのドライヌードルが有名。海鮮風味が効いた餡かけヌードル卤麺(ローミー)も名物ですが、このお店に来たらLu Lak(卤叻=Loh mee +Laksa mix)をお試しあれ。Laksaの辛味が刺激的なローミー。テーブルにあるグリーンの液体、これはガーリックを漬けたお酢。味変にもいいですが、スタミナがみなぎる調味料です。
Kamupua Mee and Lu LakGarlic vinegar
I like noodles made in Sitiawan very much. Visit noodle factory around 11am, you can see their working process. It’s delicate and beautiful.
Sitiawan is the food heaven for me. You’ll find variety of Fuzhou dishes here.
This time we do not have enough time, but never missed to get Gong Pian! Just baked, fresh out of the pot like tandoor, it’s crunchy and delicious. If you are Tiktoker, you should try it.
Drove to south, heading to our hometown Kuala Lumpur. We used new bridge which opened 1st of June, called Bagan Datuk Bridge across Perak River 1.5km-long.
Bagan Datuk village is very colourful. There is a floating mosque and jetty.
Sitiawanを南下、いよいよ我が家のあるクアラルンプールへ向かいます。 今年の6月1日に開通したばかり、Perak川に架かるBagan Datuk Bridgeを渡ってBagan Datukの村へ。Jettyやモスクも新しく、町の古い建物はカラフルにペインティングされていました。平日だからかあまり人出がなかったけれど、「これから町おこし頑張るぞ!」という意気込みを感じる。 ちょっと経ってから見に来てみたい、ちょっと気になる町。

Droved along Rout 5, near Teluk Intan Industrial area. We found a bakery’s sign board. ”What? Is there bakery like this place??” We stopped by and got into the shop…
Wah~! So nice!! This Danish bakery was founded in 1982 by the palm oil plantation company. It still keeps maintaining their breads quality by the master baker from Denmark.
We bought breads, cakes and cookies… Yes!! They are very tasty and I need to come back again for the freshly baked pastries!
Before got dark, we finally reach to Sekinchan Selangor. Got dark around Kapar and Klang.
Our Jimny’s window is loose, we can smell outside air… Start from Kapar, the air quality was horrible… Not only because of haze, also got strong chemical smell…
A lot of cars passing by and speeding. Even it is large road, it was too dark. Not enough lights is dangerous I thought, it not only for cars, also for human walking there.
When we got into Federal rout 2, suddenly it became bright and no smells… The haze was still there though…
We were back to Kuala Lumpur at 9:20pm safely. Well done Jimny & chicken and Japanese Aunties~!

We had a brunch at Lian Thong Restaurant which is the traditional Hainam kopi tiam in Taiping.
We ordered Bomb Mee and Prosperous Mee. Both noodle’s soup are starchy sauce, mild and gentle taste we love it.
The uncle served us are so kind and friendly. We like almond tea so ordered 2 cups each and my favorite Hor Ka Sai ice. Then, the uncle whispered us, “Do you know the almond tea smells like cockroach?” We asked him ”Is it? You meant not recommend it to us?” He replied, ”It’s good, good for health!”
When it was served, straight away we smelled it…. Nothing, it’s rich flavor of almond tea… Even if it smelled like cockroach, we do not know because we’ve never smelled cockroach… We laughed until tears come out, why he said like that…
The black vinegar served with Prosperous Mee is super nice~~! At the beginning enjoy the original taste, then add the vinegar, we could taste 2 types of soup~!

Whenever I visit Taiping, I always stop by the Galeri Penjara Taiping. This time they didn’t have much products, but sometimes you can find Malaysian craft with affordable price.
Then we visited Perak Museum which is the oldest and the first museum in Malaysia built in 1883.

Penang Island from Peninsula.
Breakfast, we had Pulut Ayam, Nasi Komok and Nasi Ulam Utara at the stall. The Ayam Goreng tasete is very similar with Japanese Karaage. Pulut with crunchy onions, it was perfect to boost our energy.
We visited Kota Kayang Muzeum. This museum has 3 galleries, history, Royal collections and Culture.
Especially their weapon exhibition is worth to see. They have beautiful garden and cave too.
Kota Kayang Muzeumにも足を運んだ。ココはギャラリーが3棟あり、それぞれ歴史、王室コレクション、文化について展示されているが、歴史の棟にある武器の展示の解説は読みごたえありでおすすめだ。 ミュージアムを囲むように自然を活かした庭園があり、小さな洞窟もあったりする。

Our mission is driving Peninsula from edge to edge without using any highway. It takes more time reaching to the destination. But when you drive kampung road or coast line, you’ll find very nice view.
Today we drove to south, using R152 which is the coast line from Kuala Perlis to Dataran IMAB. We love this road very much.
Entered small fisherman village and we bought some dried fish there.
Drove from edge to edge, we could see Pulau Penang from the peninsula.
端から端を走っていると、思いがけずにも半島側からペナン島を一望できましたよ。

From Kuala Perlis to Taman Permatang Tinggi Indah where located in Penang, we droved non-stop, about 177km for 5hours!
We met Andrew san who is a distributor of SPEADMASTER SEA in northwest Malaysia at SPACE IV TYRE SERVICES which is our Pro dealer’s workshop. Arrived at 5:20pm.
They checked our Jimny. Everyone here are so friendly!
We skipped our lunch, so Andrew san took us the local food place. After that he took us the beautiful old church. Thank you very much for your kindness, Andrew san and SPACE IV TYRE SERVICES!
We arrived to Taiping at 9:45pm safely.
Our dinner/supper was delicious fried chicken at hotel which Andrew san da pao for us.

Jimny with paddy field and Gunun Keriang in Kedah
11:18am, we reached to Samila cafe which is one of the old cafe in Alor Seter that Madew sensei told us.
The interior and food are very simple and classic. I recalled my childhood, when my grandfather took me to Kissaten (Japanese tea room) in those days.
We ordered tuna/club sandwiches and Knickerbocker Skyscraper for the dessert. Even I don’t know about those days in Malaysia, its made me feel nostalgic.
Too comfortable here, we stayed for 1 hour and half…

Drove to the north, Perlis, we took the west coast line. Small and narrow Kampung road. It was really nice view to drive.

4:02pm, we arrived to Gua Kelam which is located near the border of Thailand. The cave is easy to walk, even small kids can enjoy it. About 350m depth, 30-45 minutes to walk. If you want to explore more, you need to join the guide tour.
Up to more from the Gua Kelam, you’ll reach to the view point. This is amazing place. You can see the unique scenery of Perlis from the mountain.
Perlis is a small states as you know, but they have beautiful nature and clean eateries. We stayed 1night 2days only, but we’ll come back soon and staying longer for sure.
