A 3D2N trip to my hometown located in the nothern region of Malaysia – Taiping. This trip was planned to happen early December, however due to my busy travel schedule, it got pushed towards the end of the year. Finally, thanks to dad for helping on hotel booking, we make it between 27th ~ 29th Dec 2009. A family of 5 going on my new ride “again” up north…
As the name of this post says, we are really going for food around Taiping as well as some shopping on leisure. Without spending more time explaining where we go and what we eat, let’s jump straight to the photos…

After some research on Internet, we decided to drive up to Kuala Sepetang (十八丁) to hunt for seafood. It’s a coastal town feature the first railway in Malaysia (since 1885) between Port Weld (now knows as Kuala Sepetang) and Taiping. The drive took us approximately 30mins and here we go…

There is one place that we kind of going every time we are back in Taiping. Personally, I like this place very much simply because they serve my favourite – Lok Lok. We were here almost right after the lunch in Kuala Sepetang. Everyone arrive with a “pretty” full stomach, hence, we didn’t eat a lot…

Simon told me you are a food lover and I am indeed. Just this morning, I googled search for the famous Fish Head Noodle in Tmn Desa, I saw your ever 1st comment
We went there for 2 bowl of Fish ball noodle instead. Well, we have been trying to explore Taiping but don’t know where to stay, where to eat and all…now that I read your blog, I know where shall begin. Thanks for this.

Hey Charlene, happy new year! I suppose everybody loves to eat! I’m just doing a little more by blogging it. I’m sure you see many floggers (food-bloggers) these days…
