MY TAIPING GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE

23rd FEBRUARY 2024 ~ My brief excursion to Taiping was concluded by a gastronomic adventure at a food court near the Fire Station. This place should be a popular eating spot among the locals and visitors alike.

The row of stalls here seemed to be selling the same food item: Yong Taufu. Hence, it was Yong Taufu for my early dinner that day.

The initial plan was to eat Kue Tiaw at Dolly's but the restaurant did not operate on Friday. One valid reason to visit Taiping again soon.

The Yong Taufu here was of a different version. The one that we had back home was eaten with soup while the one eaten in Taiping was served with shrimp paste sauce.

That should conclude my outing trip with my cousin and her family, from Kulim to Taiping and back to Kulim again in one day. The next meet up session hopefully will happen in Sintok after this.

WHEN THE FIRE STATION BECOMES A TOURIST ATTRACTION

  17th DECEMBER 2022   ~  The red and white building would be something hard to miss when one was walking on the touristy area of Georgetown. The colonial architecture itself made Lebuh Pantai Fire Station unique. Established in 1908, this could be one historical site of the city.

. I accidentally saw there was this mini gallery at one side of the building which showcased some items related to the fire brigade and also the history of the fire station.

I was not the only one at the Fire Station at that time. There were a few other visitors but I spent longer time. I once was the teacher adviser of Kadet Bomba [Fire Brigade Cadet] in school so there were many things I could relate. It was a brilliant idea to get people to visit the fire station for them to know more about the department and the people working there.
