Ipoh Trip: Day 2, 3 and Last Day

时间过太久，几乎都忘了当时的行程  这两个月都太忙了 很多报告都快到期限的时候才做好 就连开的服装网页也忽略了 没时间打理（放弃的状态）想说华语可以快一点 所以这一篇直接用华语介绍了。

其实每天都很想很想为了早餐而早起 不过第二天却睡过头了  一起床已经是中午12点 真的很想要继续睡但为了美食 一定要逼自己赶快起床梳洗。很多人说到怡保一定要吃鸡饭，在怡保大家都叫“芽菜鸡”。男友说带我去最好吃 最多人排队的那家 - 白宫鸡饭  真的很多人排队打包 现吃的可以直接进去找位子坐  里面坐满客人 如果只有一两个人去吃还可以搭桌位 要是跟一群朋友 可能要等位子了。这一餐午餐 等超久的 快半小时吧我想....饭菜来之前 他们会先送碗热汤 刚好是我最才的酸菜汤 好好喝哦...终于鸡 饭都送来了 就跟照片一样点了好多的菜 就简单的两个字形容这味道：好吃！

之后就到商场走走消化一下 因为吃得太饱了 打发时间下又不知不觉已经是晚餐时间 等着男友的妹妹和哥哥放工后就去吃pizza  男友之前就一直介绍这家意大利餐厅的pizza不是普通级的好吃 而且老板是真正的意大利人。从男友家去到那里蛮远的  而且那一区的店 环境 看起来比较高级 不像这几天经过的古色古香的街道  这里的感觉比较像是吉隆坡那样的大城市。这家店的员工都很热情 服务态度很好 而且都是用英文沟通 就连店里的客人也是  有点不习惯 因为这几天都一直听到周围的人都用广东话沟通。第一次来访 直接让服务员介绍他们家的招牌菜好了 主打的是猪肉pizza 所以也索性点了猪肉丸和培根pizza 上菜很快 pizza很大份 跟一般的pizza专卖店不一样 我吃出炭烤的味道 底层还有被烤焦黑黑的表面 饼皮很薄很脆  送上来之前就已经帮忙切好 方便客人分着吃 上层的料给得很多 别以为4人吃会不够 其实真的很饱...

4 Days Ipoh Trip

Apparently, I'm going to write FOOD post again...It's all about food photos, not much fun place I visited, so I just summarise where I've been...

When I was in Ipoh a couple of months ago for attended friend's wedding, I only ate 2 types of Ipoh's famous foods in my spare time which were Tau Fu Fah at Funny Mountain奇峰豆腐花, Yong Tau Foo, Big Tree Foot and Dim Sum also is a MUST. I am very like to eat Dim Sum, I can't forget the taste and the egg tars were completely similar to Hong Kong one, egg tart is always my one of the favourite dim sum. The Funny Mountain Tau Fu Fah is allows customer Dri-Thru and buy it, the tau fu fan was very smooth and nice, wasn't sweet at all and the soy bean milk also is a MUST-TRY. The Big Tree Foot Yong Tau Foo, the reason of must drop here is the side dishes, there was many side dishes for customers to pick, and the Laksa noodles also is recommended. White Coffee definitely must try it, I can't stop drinking it everyday when I was in Ipoh. 

I was so so so upset that I just got half of the day to hunt Ipoh's food during the day of friend's wedding. Of course it wasn't enough for me, it wasn't satisfy my craving, and finally last week which was my midterm break, I went to Ipoh again and spent 5 days 4 nights to eat the Ipoh's food. Firstly, I went to TBS to meet my boyfie from Malacca by bus, then he brought me to Ipoh by train from KL Sentral. It was my very first time first experience take train to Ipoh, I even have no ideal go KL places  by MRT, LRT... LOL   Total spent my 4 hours plus reached Ipoh...

About 5pm we reached there, since I wasted my half of day on transportation to Ipoh, so I forced to start my food journey on the following day. I can't remember the place went for dinner, but I still wanna to say I Love Ipoh's Pohpiah, sorry about no pohpiah photo, it's really really different with Malacca's pohpiah. It contained vegetables, eggs, and xia mi (dried sea shrimp). Taste very fresh, no oily, such a healthy snacks and very cheap, only RM2 per piece. 

On the first day, I purposely woke up early for the DIM SUI as my first food hunting. There were 3 famous dim sum restaurants at Jalan Leong Sin Nam. Three of them dim sum are mostly same just the price has slightly different, somehow I went to the most cheaper one明阁香港点心 Ming Court Hong Kong Tim Sum. I was craving for the cha sao su 叉烧酥 since my boyfie brought for me last time, unfortunately they are not selling this. In general, you can easily get the dim sum in everywhere even at Kopitiam as known cha can ting茶餐室, it is pretty awesome for me because I am a dim sum lover. BTW, here is another dim sum place that I would like to share with you, as I said my boyfie brought the cha sao su in another place, which was 南香茶餐室 Kedai Makanan Nam Heong at Jalan Bandar Timar.

大雄民宿 Melaka Town Homestay

为了方便大家能在低消费找到舒适的住宿，近来越来越多人经营Budget Hotel 廉价旅馆，尤其马六甲是大家公认的旅游胜地，Budget Hotel 接二连三地一年比一年多。对于Homestay 民宿可能还是一些人不知道它的用意。Budget Hotel 和 Homestay的分别是，Budget Hotel的设备没Homestay齐全，方便，一间房间最多可以让四个人休息。相反地Homestay最适合给一家人或一大群人一起居住，办群人活动也很方便，像是开派对这类的活动，比较拥有私人场所的感觉，设备和价钱当然也比Budget Hotel方便很多 便宜很多。

Many of budget hotels are building in Malacca now. Most people would rather stay in budget hotels, although they are cheaper than hotels but the facilities are lesser than homestay. May be people will confuse between homestay and budget hotel, budget hotel same as hotel, rooms are separate and it can't take in more than 6 guests, but homestay can stay for more than 8 persons...Homestay suitable for 12 people, like family, a big group, come for gathering, party or others purpose. Of course price is cheaper than budget hotel.

大雄民宿位于马六甲市中心 Melaka town area，出入方便，不管到旅游景点还是去吃马六甲最著名的美食或是土产，短暂的车程便能抵达目的地。大方慷慨的老板提供最好的服务和设备，他说要是有节日，就会抽空布置美化一下他的民宿，希望来这里住的客人能感受的气氛。还是会有一些自称自己经营的是Homestay可是规格却和Budget Hotel没什么分别，而这家大雄民宿却是让你能租下一整间家跟自己人聚会，并不是一间房一间房地租出去。价钱很便宜，不超过马币四百块，一共有三间房间，一间房间可以到四个人睡，来到这里真的有像自己家的感觉，要什么有什么非常方便！虽然冷气有很多架，但是就算不开冷气，只是开着大门吹吹风也很凉爽，空气很流通，一点都不闷热，晚上还能看到马六甲的夜景呢！

Da Hong Homestay is located at Kampung Lapan which is Melaka town area, it is near the attractions and shopping malls. The homestay was operated half a year, landlord is very kind and friendly, he was wiling to provide all my request, gave me all my wants and needs. This is also one of reason why people will give compliment of this homestay. He said sometimes he will decorate his homestay if there is any festivals, he hopes people will get surprise and feel warm when stay here.

It is a private unit of vacation home therefore not rent by room. Price is below than RM400, apartment newly renovated with 3 rooms, can stay for 12 person, each room can take in about 4 people and having private car park also. He said he was put a lot of efforts into design of homestay, it simple but elegant, there is no much different from photos, space is spacious, clean and comfortable. Having good ventilation inside and can enjoy Melaka view at night.

老板说他有重新粉刷过，也很用心设计这家民宿，简单到来很优美，照片上跟真实环境简直没分别，光线很足，客厅到厨房都很宽敞，给予足够的冷气和风扇，住在这里一点都不闷热。才经营半年的民宿却得到很多青睐也不是没理由的。我个人是以干净和方便为主，所以大雄民宿对我来说是无可挑剔，真的要说的话可能是要上到四楼吧....因为那是一间在第四楼的租屋，不过上到楼看到那么漂亮舒服的民宿，什么都值得了，再说本人体力就很好，四楼其实也没有很高啦....老板还特地安装ASTRO, DVD机和麻将，到了晚上多的是东西来打发时间。

爱在巴厘岛 Bali Trip

2013 08 18 Day 4

在巴厘岛的最后一天，也是玩的最最最尽兴的一天，我人生中有很多的第一次都献给了巴厘岛，挑战了自己以前会怕的事。去参观海龟之前，我们到了Mekar Sari玩水，其实做小船过对面海龟岛，只需要十多分钟，导游给我们两个小时的时间自由活动，想玩水的就下去玩。巴厘岛四处都是海，当然要下水玩一下咯！这个是不包括旅费的，因为有些人要玩有些人不要，玩水的票就必须自付。其实有很多个选项可以玩，可是每一个我都没尝试过，所以先选最安全，最容易的先挑战....再说我们团里太小的又太小，太老的也不好，我的表姐也不敢下水，除了小我九年的堂弟陪我玩之外，也找不到其他人了。

我玩了两种选项，一个是太空人，一个是浮浅就是浮在水上面的。本来想玩潜下水的，还好我没选那个，浮浅已经够难了，我学不会用嘴呼吸，抓不到诀窍，一直喝到海水啃到超辛苦的。太空人很简单而已，戴着太空帽，潜下去走一圈看鱼。水一点都不深，不过真的会一直耳鸣，要一直吞口水，太空帽非常的重又大，我的下巴一直被敲到，很不舒服。

别以为我抓的动物都是假的，我可是冒着生命危险在抓，尤其是那只大鸟和蟒蛇。我跟那只鸟拍照时它突然张开翅膀一下，我多怕它的翅膀打到我，它的抓一点都不利，站在我的手上不会痛，可是它真的很重！一直以为蛇皮是冰凉的，我摸它的皮，是有点像人的体温，蛇皮却是摸起来有点恶。说了那是大蟒蛇，如果它突然咬我一口，会有死亡的可能....至于蝙蝠我就没想要抓，不过它真的会咬人，我的亲戚试图想摸它的身体，它看到手指指向它，它张开嘴要咬。我抓海龟的时候，可能它们受惊过度，从我抓起来那一刻，它的前翼一直拍动，拍得很快，像是打巴掌打得我的手超痛的！进去一间小木屋，里面有二十只左右的大海龟，都是年长，活了很多年了。

我觉得巴厘岛超适合年轻人去的，巴厘岛说大不大，说小不小，有很多地方，有很多美景都还没到过。我本身没去过泰国的Phuket，不过我还是觉得巴厘岛比Phuket更好玩吧....巴厘岛有什么东西能买？如果旅行只为了购物，倒不如去香港，台湾那些购物天地的地方。来到巴厘岛我觉得真的很省钱，把钱都花在玩的不是很好吗？四天三夜的巴厘岛对我来说还真的不够玩，我是真的还愿意再去第二，第三次，有机会去，当然也不会再去同一个景点啦....

爱在巴厘岛 Bali Trip

2013 08 17 Day 3

一早起床，又要去晒太阳的地方，巴厘岛的天气还热情过马来西亚，晒不黑是假的。Tanah Lot就是我们第一站要去的地方，导游说这个地方非去不可，也不是说你想去就有得去...一旦海水涨潮，覆盖那些石头，就不能走过去看看那座在海上建成的庙。我们还挺幸运的，刚好去的时间是退潮。退潮时，那些石头将把巴厘岛和庙连成一线，游客可以走下去，走过石头去看那座庙。如果涨潮就只能站在远处看了。我赤脚走在石头上，喜欢感受这样的大自然，海水比我想象中还冰凉，也很透彻。

在另一边有一间咖啡馆，因为建在斜坡的最顶端，那间咖啡馆很少游客会知道，去到那里只有我们在叫东西喝罢了。反正导游给我们自由活动的时间那么长，干脆就喝点东西休息下。从上面往下看，有体验到另一种感受，很有度假的feel，看着一大片清蓝的海洋，吹着凉爽的风，如果在这里看日落，想必那幅像画一样的风景一定很难忘吧！

吃过了午餐再续前往Taman Ayun和Lake Beratan Temple，巴厘岛也称之为神岛，整段行程去看各式各样的庙也不出奇。Lake Beratan Temple就是建在湖上的庙，其实那个地方有点像是公园，绕着一圈走，旁边都是花花草草美化环境。

其实一整天也没去过很多地方，可是时间却过得很快，从一个景点去到另一个景点，几乎要用一个小时到两个小时抵达，整天坐在巴士上也是会很累的！晚上回到了房间，我马上洗好澡，跟表亲去泳池玩...搞到像是从乡下来的人，玩到很兴奋...酒店有两个泳池，由于低层泳池太深，我也很久没游泳了，一时接收不到水的深度，就上到顶楼，露天的泳池玩水看星星...第一次感受像巨星般的招待！整个泳池都只属于我们四个人的！我跟表姐点了一杯鸡尾酒试试，原来鸡尾酒是那么怪的....酒吧的服务生超好的，因为他播的歌我觉得没什么气氛，我问他有没有流行歌，他说没有，不过可以借我的电话，接去音响帮我播。第一次有这样的感受，第一次觉得跟团跟得很开心！
