Sunway Lost World of Tambun Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Malaysia Visa-Free | 7 Days 6 Nights Off-the-Beaten-Path Itinerary Guide
Just got back from Malaysia, took an unusual off-the-beaten-path route, traveling north from Malacca to Penang, exploring and wandering along the way. Besides the cities with Southeast Asian charm, there was also the freedom of durian orchards. This visa-free country is really too tempting. Sharing a less-traveled route suitable for the whole family.

Penang:
Compared to Kuala Lumpur, I prefer the world heritage site of Penang, which features a mix of Southeast Asian, Muslim, Chinese, and Indian architecture. The strong cultural atmosphere, interesting graffiti in the alleys, and the dazzling markets are all reasons why I like this old city. Although there are quite a few Michelin-starred restaurants in Penang, I still recommend saving some room in your stomach for the night market snacks!
Malacca:
Also a world heritage site, Malacca is a bit more colorful. After visiting the Baba-Nyonya Heritage Museum, I finally understood the origins of the Peranakans and learned more about the history of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas.
Ipoh:
Malaysia's little Guilin, a small town in the mountains, with lots of delicious food. Saw a Malayan tapir at the Sunway Lost World of Tambun in Ipoh! So cute~
Must Eat Durian:
How can you come to Malaysia and not eat durian! The durians in Kuala Lumpur, the dragon fruits in Sepang, and the pomelos in Ipoh are all delicacies not to be missed~
Tips:
1. Malaysia is visa-free, with no time difference from China, and flights to Kuala Lumpur are very convenient.
2. There are super many wild animals, hornbills and monkeys can be seen in the parks. Please do not feed them randomly to protect the ecology.
Lost World of Tambun Theme Park
A nice theme park suitable children of all ages. It’s value for money as you have access to the water theme park and also the rest of the rides and mini zoo. You can easily spend a full day there! They are very strict in food items or even personal water bottle and it’s not allow in the theme park. Try to keep it light and easy as you can easily get food and drinks within the theme park. Ample parking available right outside the park, so for those who drive need not worry. Overall we had a great time there.#perak #sunway #mymymemories

Kellie's Castle
Well, it's a nice tourist spot in Ipoh.
You will cross a bridge to get to the castle. The landscaping around the castle is very nicely done. This castle though is incomplete but it was very well maintained.
You get to read the history when exploring through each of the rooms and vicinity.
You need to climb several flights of stairs to reach the top. The view from the top is worth the climb.

Kellie's Castle ✨
Beautiful castle in perak where you should not missed. Best if you have studied the history with more understanding before you go. Although it is also famous with haunted house, but its worth to pay a visit.
There are many spots around here that you can take beautiful pictures. Go either early morning or late noon to avoid the heat.
The view from top of the castle is really beautiful too. There’s a river and a lot of trees surrounding the castle which makes it more mesmerizing.
Definitely the most visited place when you are in Perak and a nice spot for photoshoot! Really recommended ❤️

Beautiful Beach, Pangkor: A must Visit

It was super easy to come here. You can come to Pangkor via Marina Jetty, Lumut - only 10mins ferry & you’ll arrive at Pangkor Jetty!
There’s a lot of hotels/accommodations selection at Pangkor. Personally, I’ll stay at Pasir Bogak instead of Teluk Nipah, less crowded and way more clean and beautiful sea!
Pulau Pangkor is now a duty free island! Variety of chocolates here, no need to go to Langkawi for duty free goods 😌
You can go around the island by renting a scooter/pink van. Easy! enjoy guys.

Concubine Ln Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Kopi Panglima
#malaysia #ipoh #cafe to visit in Concubine Lane. The aunty outside will be calling us to enter. It's a nice place to chill after tiring legs if you are walking around the city. Located at the end corner of concubine lane: 24 Concubine Ln;
I found this place bring the vibe of kampong spirit, with its tingkat and sarong decor plus the bricks and stairs. Tried their Kopi tiga negara which is super refreshing, rice noodle curry, mushroom chicken bao, prawn siew mai, and seaweed chicken for the price of RM 53.6;
Curry is rich of flavour while the dimsum is not that good. Recommend you to just skip the dimsum and try the local food and kopi here! 😋
Old Town with Aesthetic Vibes♥️
#wheretogo
Address:
📍 Lorong Panglima, Concubine Lane, 30000, Ipoh, Perak.
This place probably one of the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. I like the design of the building around this area. Feels like living in the 80’s era. Love how this place represents the sentimental value.
It is open daily from 7am to 7pm including Public Holiday.
There were hip cafes around this area. What I can say is, a lot of hip cafe!😅 Please choose which ever you’re interested with. There also stores and a lot of interesting shop.
How to get there:
1. By car
If you’re planning to drive, that’s the best option! Traffic is not that heavy which navigating around is easy.
2. By Grab
Also a good idea and most preferred option. The price is reasonable and affordable. No hassles too. But, make sure to download the apps first, state your destination and the driver will be assigned to you. Easy😊
Tip: For an exciting time, I recommend you to have a visit during peak season (weekends or public holidays), because there would be so much more to see and of course will be crowded with tourists and local people.

Fabulous cafe near Concubine Lane
Good day in Ipoh! I had fun spending my weekend trying out new cafe around Ipoh, one of them was Fluff Cafe. It is located along the shop lot near Concubine Lane. The only problem with this area is parking spaces, especially on weekend, it’s a hustle to come here to enjoy the vibes. This area is walkable as the building and surrounding are so beautiful. Hence I don’t mind to park my car a bit far from the destination and walk there.

butter-beer in a harry potter themed cafe
📍Platform 1/2
this cafe is located at the concubine lane, ipoh. it is less than 15mins walk from KTM Ipoh.
they serves butter-beer (non-alcoholic) which i believe one of the top wishlist of most potterheads. it tastes ok, however not as good as the ones in USJ huhu
the donut is sooo fluffy i love it! muffin and waffle taste average. most importantly is the decoration, the vibes! highly recommended for potterheads~
