PUBLIC PARK IN UNIVERSITY?
Yesssss. If you all want to know, UTAR stand for University Tungku Abdul Rahman. State in Kampar Perak. And of course, not a goverment university.
But, the interesting part of UTAR is, there are some places that public can go. Such as their garden, park, lake, bamboo structure. You can do activities like jog, picnic, photoshoot and else.
You just can get into this place by postguard, and park in front of the park. Its free. There are a lot of parking. So, you can park your car freely.

A low-key food court located in Kampar Street Market
The food court in Kampar Street Market is very low-key, and it brings together classic local delicacies from the three major ethnic groups in Malaysia (Malays, Chinese and Indians). There are many choices such as assorted fruits with black sauce, coconut water, nasi lemak, coconut sugar and coconut shredded crepes and some fried foods, etc., and the price is cheap, it is highly recommended! #Three major ethnic groups #Classic #Hidden food

The clear water of Kampar River (Class I-III) is suitable for anyone who is physically fit and those who crave for mild technical adventure whilst safely enjoy a rafting trip.
Test out your river skills and go on an adrenaline rush as you ride through 14 rapids and cooling waters of Kampar River in Perak, just 2 hours from Pangkor Island, Lumut and the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. A state in west Malaysia famous for its’ tin ore, and pomelo fruit, Ipoh hor fun, home-grown white coffee, temples, caves and hot springs!
On the river, you will have the thrills of tackling exciting rapids and floating down the clear water river amidst a lush rainforest. You will ride the continuous rapids graded from class I-III, and continue down river, passing by some old tin mining plains. Have fun during the rafting like do some body-rafting or even take a spin in the raft with your head in the water....or just get to the traditional fun of water fight with your fellow rafters! Get wet and get in touch with nature once more!
As a standard procedure, safety briefing will be done before going down the river which covers the paddling commands, paddling skills, capsize drills, actions when overboard or river rescue. After 10-15 minutes of briefing by our professional river guide, you are now ready for a river rafting adventure.

Curry Chicken Bread, Yau Kee Kampar
This restaurant is famous for the Curry Chicken Bread as well as other dishes. It is located at the town centre along Jalan Idris. The owner was inspired by the Beggar’s Bread from Hong Kong to come out with the idea of stuffed curry bread in 1986. This is the first time I tried curry chicken bread, and I love it. It is delicious and will make you eat non-stop, the curry chicken is baked inside the soft fluffy bread, very aromatic. If you are not able to take spicy food, settle for the equally tasty herbal chicken bread. This restaurant also serves the typical Chinese dishes. Food is nice and reasonably priced. Occasionally there are tour groups that come here to enjoy this specialty during lunch and dinner time.

Gua Tempurung
Great experience for a newbie cave explorer. There are 2 tours offered - dry tour and wet tour.
Both tours is divided to two more options - one is longer route than the other. You will be guided throughout the tours and can listen to so many facts explained by the guide. It would be much more interesting if you come in a group. We tried the dry tour (the longer route) since we did not bring any extra clothes. Took us around 40 minutes to the end of the tour back and forth to the cave entrance. There were thousands steps make sure you are fit enough to enjoy the walk. Next time for sure will try the wet tour it looks so much fun!

Motto of KFC
#springtravel
What your motto ?
Align with what KfC share on their wall
The motto is written clearly on the wall, a simple reminder that resonates with anyone who pauses to read it. It speaks about striving for a better life, encouraging customers to appreciate the small, everyday efforts that keep us moving forward. It’s more than decoration — it adds a gentle layer of meaning to the space, reminding diners that good food, comfort, and daily perseverance all share the same quiet rhythm.

stopover at the BHP petrol station
#springtravel
That stopover at the BHP petrol station with the 24‑hour KFC really does hit differently — it’s the kind of place where the fluorescent lights, the hum of engines, and the smell of fried chicken blend into a small but comforting travel ritual.
🚗 Why it works so well as a rest stop
· Always open — no guessing, no disappointment, just a guaranteed place to recharge at any hour.
· Hot food, fast — sometimes all you need on a long drive is something warm, salty, and satisfying.
· Safe, well‑lit environment — perfect for stretching your legs, refreshing your mind, and getting ready for the next stretch of road.
· Convenient facilities — fuel, toilets, snacks, and a proper meal all in one spot.

Cold and comfy with hot freshly prepared chicken
#springtravel
The tagline on the wall promised every day, freshly prepared, and the space quietly lived up to it. The environment is clean and calming, with comfortable seating arranged to make you want to linger a little longer. Even the air-conditioning feels thoughtfully tuned — a gentle relief against the current heat outside, wrapping the room in cool comfort without overpowering the senses. Aromas drift from the kitchen in soft waves, hinting at dishes assembled with care rather than haste. Each plate arrives warm, balanced, and familiar, carrying the kind of flavours that remind you why simple, fresh preparation still matters. It’s a place where freshness isn’t a slogan but a daily rhythm you can feel the moment you sit down.

Eat to Live - KFC
#springtravel
Eat to Live motto in your style — warm, reflective, and tied to the environment of the place
I love how the “Eat to Live” motto is expressed on the wall, turning a simple phrase into a gentle reminder about balance and purpose. It’s not just decoration — it carries a quiet message about nourishing ourselves so we can keep moving through the day with strength. The way it’s framed makes it feel thoughtful rather than preachy, almost like a soft nudge to appreciate the role food plays in our daily rhythm. In a space that’s already clean, comfortable, and calming, the motto adds a layer of meaning that lingers with you long after the meal.

Sitting layout for alls type
#springtravel
The seating layout offers thoughtful variety, making the space feel welcoming to different kinds of diners. There are study‑friendly tables for those who want quiet focus, larger group and family setups for shared meals, and cosy solo spots for anyone dropping by for a quick bite. Each section feels intentionally arranged, giving customers the freedom to choose the atmosphere that suits their moment — whether it’s work, conversation, or simple me‑time.
