Ipoh Trip (13-16th Nov 24) Day 2 : 14.11.24

Initially I wanted to go to Zahara Garden but according to the grab app, it seems like the map don't have this place and we were worried that we might have difficulties coming back to the hotel. Therefore we check with the hotel concierge whether they can make arrangement to book a driver to go this place. The driver charges at RM300 for round trip which we found it too expensive, so we decided to change of plan and go to Mirror Lake.(also b'cuz grab can go to this place)



The view here was absolutely beautiful and worth coming for. 


Nearby the entrance to Miner 's Tunnel there is a petting zoo which you can pet horses. 😊


Here is the entrance to the miner's tunnel and mirror lake 1 (RM12)

You can refer to this link for other entrance fee



Walk straight ahead in this tunnel and you will reach the mirror lake 1 boat boarding point.,




The boat ride was another RM30 and the trip duration was about 20 mins.


We can get to see monkey climbing around and different stages of limestone, oh not forgetting attap chee fruit(see the above photo top right, the seed in white seen in ice kacang)




According to the staff who drive us on a boat, he mention the lake 2 was a smaller one and we have to go through the tunnel. But we did not go to lake 2 also.


Some photos taken at the entrance of the miner's tunnel, cost RM100 for all. The smallest photo comes with a magnet behind and stand leg.


Nice rainbow ladder for tourist to take photo with. 

As the weather was quite hot, so we headed to have some bites and cold coffee at Kin Loong Coffee. we had a very heavy breakfast at the hotel restaurant - Tiffin that why we only order some bites instead of main course.





Their ice white coffee with condensed & evaporated milk is a must to order.



The staff there recommended the egg tart there and was really good. Top right was the sweet potato balls which I myself find it pretty normal, bottom left was  puchok goreng(not recommended 👎, too chewy to bite off) and the other was prawn roll(both dishes comes w chili sauce)


The map of other attraction at mirror lake, according to google snake mouth cave was close. Probably due to the recent loud sound heard in Ipoh a few weeks back before we come to Ipoh.


We headed back to hotel  for a rest as the weather was starting to turn a little grey. We saw this at the hotel lobby, this drink very refreshing,👍

Before our dinner we headed at uniqlo and we shop for some winter gloves(husband say maybe nx time we can go to cold weather country 😃), hat and other clothing. Husband actually wanted to sing K after that but the timing was quite late and by the time we sing finish the door at the hotel link to Ipoh parade might be close. Also don't know is it safe to walk out of the shopping centre back to our hotel. So we headed to a&w for our dinner.


I did not take any photo of the meal but only this drink. lol😂 As hubby ordered 2 pcs chicken meal, but hor I find the seasoning quite heavy(very salty, compared to Singapore outlet). Ohya hubby also shared with me that orders have to be made thru a machine and handed over the receipt to the counter staff for payment before they can inform the kitchen to prepare the food. Not the usual practise we will see in Singapore thou.


Around 11pm, we went to check out the hotel supper, the supper choice of the day was some chicken congee, red bean soup with sago and this drink☝ - warm soya bean milk(you can pour in some ginger syrup) Good for cold weather and really very yummy. The ginger syrup match this milk perfectly..
