Our last trip for the year-end holidays was Ipoh. Tried a new apartment this time - Manhattan Condominium. The pictures tell why hehe.
This is our water playground!
And this is our giant slide
Kids asked to stay here next time we visit Ipoh, :) It's 15 mins to town which isn't near, but by KL standards that isn't far either. Only thing I found ourselves making the 15min journey for practically every meal! I need to plan eating places around this place next time. Besides eating what did we do... well the kids like Sam Poh Tong for the turtles and fish. As before they aimed tomatoes at the smaller, cuter turtles. SE formulated a new strategy: She used part of her tomatoes to create 'distractions' - i.e. aim at the larger turtles nearby so that they would be busy eating and not trying to snatch from the small ones. She proudly reported that many small ones thus had a chance to finish their share of tomato.
We are busy feeding selected turtles
I'd previously noticed the stairs up were blocked. This time they weren't so up we went. Ahh... I hadn't been up there for many years and it was the first time for the kiddos.
Mummy says the rocks behind will be a good background
Dawdled since we had plenty of time. Then we hit Concubine Lane. Had a good time dawdling here too.
Pretty area in front of shop
So many snacks to buy.
JE: I want this durian candy
SE: YUCK!
Had a look at Platform 9 1/2, the new Harry Potter-themed cafe. It was crowded. Maybe will visit next time once the girls start reading Harry Potter.
This Harry's owl
Snapped some photos for fun.
Do you see anything yet?
And that was the extent of our sight-seeing in Ipoh. The weather was hot and the girls turned down a visit to the park. Next post on the food.
SE is so clever to formulate the strategy to let the small turtles have a chance at eating the tomatoes by distracting the big turtles. So happy that everyone enjoyed the trip, especially SE and JE.
ReplyDeleteI was amused that she actually had a strategy!
DeleteSounds like you all had an enjoyable time!
ReplyDeleteManhattan Condo looks like a great place to stay for your Ipoh holidays. Ipoh has been very hot except for 2 days of heavy rain to cool down the temperature temporary. Good strategy by SE to distract the bigger turtle.
ReplyDeleteLocation seemed remote when I checked, but luckily worked out fine. It's nearer Menglembu where you have posted many good places to eat haha.
