Travel By Photos

Where have I been to for the past long weekend in conjunction with Break-Fasting Festival of Muslims in Malaysia? Ipoh! When travelers talking about Ipoh city of Malaysia, 2 main things are always been discussed. One is the beautiful Ipoh ladies (I’m not touching here but you should know that the international superstar Dato’ Michelle Yeoh is from Ipoh!). Another one would definitely be their mouth-watering local foods!

However, the 2 travel photos I’m featuring here are not exactly showing the foods. They are showing the ‘Special’ scenes spotted outside of one of the famous local restaurant in Ipoh. It is the iconic local restaurant selling bean sprout chicken noodle called “Lou Wong” (老黄芽菜鸡沙河粉). Whenever there is a festive seasons and public holidays, you will be able to see this travel wonder!

Look at the crowds! The huge crowds that are standing, not sitting. Those people are waiting for the seats! You can’t even see the actual foods or chicken that are selling!

They include tourists visiting Malaysia as well as local patrons. Many people are crazy about this “special” dish from Ipoh. What made this seems simple chicken noodle soup with bean sprouts over so special is those big and juicy local planted bean sprouts which you can’t find anywhere else!

But you have to wait for at least half an hour for a vacant seat and you need to get used to people that keep watching you through out your whole dinner session before you could really enjoy the delicacies! :)Travel Feeder, the ultimate travel photo blog

Before I post the entire story of my 3rd day travel in London city centre, here is a snapshot I took along River Thames on south bank area which is just beside the tourists’ “must visit” London icon of the Tower Bridge.

London Riverside

This area is called More London. It is a new 13 acres (53,000 m2) mixed development designed by the famous British born architect, Norman Foster and partners who also designed the Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok. The City Hall, a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, Hilton London Tower Bridge hotel, office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianized area containing open-air sculptures and water features, are part of the development. Those buildings in the above photo are known as 2, 3 & 4 More London Riverside along the river while 1 & 6 More London Place are offices right behind.

This photo was taken with my Nikon D60 and Tamron SP10-24mm Ultra Wide Angle lens. The full story will be posted right after this. :)Travel Feeder, your ultimate photo travel blog
