A Laid-back Nature Getaway!
2 weeks ago, I have visited the Burmese Pool while in Taiping, popularly known as Kolam Renang Batu Besar, it's situated in the rainforest of Taiping, Perak.
Burmese Pool is a natural rock formation that forms a series of pools and is fed by a stream that descends into a waterfall, originating from the Batu Tegoh River. There have several footpaths lead higher up of the hill and deeper into the forest surrounding the stream and the Burmese Pool, you can hiking up or trekking through the forest.
The place has a connection with beautiful nature, I really love the sound of cascading water coupled with the tranquil, lush environment!
The Burmese Pool is 2 km away from Taiping Lake Gardens and 1 km away from Taman Botani Perak. It's more convenient to drives there and RM2 for car parking.

A visit to the 2 hidden gems in Taiping
#hiddengems
Taiping has the many very ‘firsts’ of Malaysia, The All Saints Church (1886, first Anglican church) and Taiping Clock Tower (1890, first clock tower) are 2 of the hidden gems of Taiping. I really love these 2 beautiful historical sites, a must-visit for history, architecture and photography aficionados.
The All Saints Church(Gereja All Saints) is a unique wooden church with Gothic architecture design in Taiping, Perak. Founded in 1886 and consecrated in 1887, it is the oldest Anglican church in Malaysia.
The Taiping Clock Tower would have been Taiping’s main square. It was popularly known as The Fort among locals. It was later rebuilt in 1891 as a fortified stone building. Not to be missed is the red phone booth just beside the tower, the only one of its kind still in its original location in Taiping.

ATTRACTIONS IN PERAK!
The first picture was at Teluk Batik. As i was around Lumut, i could feel the wind and decided to stop at Teluk Batik so to find inner peace ✨ it's very windy and hot at the same time. We can rent the chairs provided at RM3 only while feeling this breathtaking view 🌊.
Second to forth pictures were taken at Lata Titi Dua Ijok. I was planning to have a picnic at this lata but unfortunately it's raining in the morning that day, so i couldn't. Lata Titi Dua was recognized as the 12th tourism icon in Perak, so it's worth the pleasure.
Fifth to seventh pictures were taken at Taman Tasik Taiping as the first and oldest lake park in Malaysia. It has been over 100 years since this lake opened to the public. I have never seen these kinds of trees so terrific. God bless nature 🙏

Antong Coffee Factory The Oldest in Malaysia
Antong Coffee Factory is the oldest coffee mill in Malaysia. The entrance was nicely decorated with a gigantic Antong coffee cup, old grandpa's bicycle, wall paintings and some tables. You can see some old trees next to a heritage yellow colour building. It has a showroom that features the history of the brand, process of making coffee beans, and also their products. Other than their signature charcoal roasted coffee, I recommend to buy the white coffee, very fragrant, rich and smooth to drink. If you like iced coffee, you can try their special latte in a bear bottle. Reasonable prices. The staff were informative and welcoming. Free entrance. Ample parkings.

Bukit Merah Laketown Waterpark
Kids would have fun here even though it is just a small waterpark. The facilities are well maintained. There are slides, Boomerang, wave pool, rain shower, river safari and more. The staff were helpful and welcoming. Quite a number of lifeguards around. Outside food is not allowed. Even though there was a limited dining option in the park, there was a food street outside the waterpark, I recommend Nasi Goreng USA and Cekodok Pisang, so delicious. Please note that once you come out, you are not allowed to re-enter the waterpark, unless you are staying in the resort, and the reason for coming out is to check out the hotel. Overall a satisfying trip.

Bukit Merah Pavilion Mini Petting Zoo
Even though it is just a small petting zoo, I enjoyed myself so much. There were birds, goats, sheep, deer, ducks, goose, chicken, turtles, tortoises, rabbits, snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, fishes and more. The animals are well kept and in good condition. Visitors can get really close to them. The peacocks are the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. Their tail feathers are so enchanting. The chicken and goose farms resemble my grandparents' house which I used to play and run around. I even get to touch and hug the cute rabbits, guinea pig and cats. Nice place to bring kids.

Christmas Decorations in Spritzer Eco Park
The Christmas decorations here are so beautiful, especially the outdoor plastic transparent bubble tent. There were tiny Christmas trees and a bench inside, but due to the hot weather, we couldn't stay too long inside. I was thrilled to see the Santa Claus and reindeer carriage ride. Looks so real. There are Christmas trees everywhere. I love how festive the park is. It brings so much joy to the visitors. Highly recommended. It has a free entrance.

Wonder Farm Mushrooms Excellent Guided Tour
This is my first time visiting a mushroom farm. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable about planting mushrooms. She shared with us the whole process from preparation of soil until harvesting. There were so many types of mushrooms, even a pink oyster mushroom, "ling zhi' and rare tiger milk mushrooms. They also sell fresh and dried mushrooms and mushroom products. The ticket price was only RM3, inclusive of a guided tour and complimentary black fungus drink (so tasty). It's unbelievably cheap. Highly recommended. Please avoid visiting during lunch hours (12pm to 2pm). The front gate was closed and you may have to wait in the car under the hot sun.

Kuala Sepetang Rasa Sayang Seafood
This restaurant is located at Kuala Sepetang, a fishing village near Taiping, Perak. They offer fresh and delicious seafood at affordable prices. I like their signature Sour Steamed Squid, Stir-fry Asparagus with Garlic, Deep Fried Shrimps and Lala Soup. The portions were big and value for money. For drinks, must order their Ampra Sour Plum juice, so tasty. The restaurant was built beside the river, windy, amazing sunset view. Other than seafood, you can also join the boat ride to see fireflies at night. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only drawback is that service was a bit slow.

Famous Bismillah Cendol in Taiping
This is one of the oldest cendol stalls in Taiping. The menu is simple, they have normal Cendol, and Kacang (red bean), Jagung (corn), Pulut (glutinous rice), or a mixture of the ingredients. Prices range from RM2 to RM4.90. Really cheap. Great for hot weather. Their cendol was smooth and nice, not overly sweet. Must mix well before eating because the Gula Melaka Syrup is at the bottom. Service was fast, friendly owner. There is also a popular Pasembur stall next to it. Each plate only costs RM4, worth trying. It will compliment the sweet cendol.

Wonderful Experience in Taiping Zoo
It was so nice to walk around Taiping Zoo. I like the African Savanna the most. Those Giraffes, Zebras, and Elephants were impressive. Upon entrance, I highly recommend to take the tram ride to go one round in the Zoo. This ride will cover all animals and almost all sections. Later, you may walk to the places you want to explore more. There are snacks and ice cream stalls in the Zoo. Must try the Cookies Ice Cream (RM8) and Jumbo Hotdog (RM4), delicious. For kids, there is a playground, even though a bit run down, but still ok and safe to play. If you like to see the animals at night, they have combo tickets for Night Safari, just add a few dollars only. Worth visiting.

Awesome Buffet Breakfast in Novotel Taiping
I like the buffet breakfast here, this is one of the best I have ever had in Malaysia. They serve a wide selection of dishes, both locals and western. All very delicious especially the Nasi Lemak, Roti Jala, Curry Chicken, Nasi Goreng Kampung, Chicken LoBak, Crispy Pan-fried Turkey Ham and Bread Pudding. The fruits were sweet and fresh, especially the pineapple. It's similar to the pineapple I had in Phuket before, super nice. Others are: the eggs station, the bread and pastries section, salad bar, cornflakes and cereals. Even though it was quite crowded, the service was fast. The staff were efficient and friendly. Special thanks to the Chef who cooked Roti Jala for me (fully taken at that time).

Taiping Famous Food Court
#MyTripVlog
Larut Matang food court in Taiping is famous and one of the oldest food courts in Taiping City. Although it was very famous, it may not fit everyone's taste.
The atmosphere is a bit messy, Malay, Indian, and Chinese food all under one roof; beware that non-halal food can't consume in halal areas.
Try the local drink Hor Ka Sai is coffee mix with Milo. Open mostly for breakfast and lunch.
