 If one wonders what made the list in the Ipoh tourist attractions, Perak Tong or limestone cave temple is certainly one of them. Sprinkled all over the former mining valley, there are more than a dozen of Chinese cave temples in Ipoh.

 Thai cuisine is never an alien flavor in Penang, but walking into an authentic Thai restaurant perhaps need a bit of help from Lady Luck. A family lunch date brought us to May Tip Thai Restaurant in Taman Mutiara, Bukit Mertajam. Tucked away in a strip of commercial block behind the bustling main road, May Tip is a not much different compares to a typical Chinese restaurant except for the rectangular shape of their charcoal tables.

 In line with going green, going for organic food is one of the ways to encourage natural and organic farming. Besides, less chance of building up notorious chemicals in our body thus a healthier body.
