My Trip to Ipoh, Perak

PART 1
(A bit of diversion from this Blog's main theme, this is a detour to the Nrothern Peninsular Malaysia.

THE ETS - The Journey to Ipoh
Upon arriving by airport bus from Lcct at KL Sentra, I went upto the entrance, left my luggage at the coin luggage storage for RM10 ( just the thought of dragging the bags around with me really don't appeal to me!), and roam around for food, shopping.
Then at 1:30pm, I took my bags and went up to the 1st floor, turn left to the ETS ticket counter to meet up with the rest of the guides council members from all over Malaysia.
We boarded the electric train at 1:50pm


The train is a sure delight and so much more comfortable than the earlier flight from KK!
The seats are spacious and comfortable.






And the stewardess are really friendly and pretty too!



The train can reach speed of 160km/hr but only allowed upto 149 km/hr for safety reason. The speed is shown on the LCD for those curious!



The toilets are spacious, modern and much better than the airplane 's.



Moreover, there's even a small cafe cornet with light snacks. Or you might prefer to just wait and get your drinks or food from the pretty stewardess.



Then, finally arrival at the historical railway terminal after 2 hrs 16 mins only for the 200km journey!






And that was a really neat little journey and I had truly enjoyed it.

Sinalau Bakas / BBQ Wild Boar !

If you have the extra time and have the adventurous spirit and strong stomach, remember to stopover at the row of stalls selling the authentic BBQ wild boar or 'Sinalau Bakas' as it is commonly called among the KadazanDusun along the roadside on the way to Kinabalu Park .

There are couple of roadsigns along the way. Buy only the fully cooked meat and not the half-cooked. Then put some of their homemade chili sauce with soy sauce! Gosh..... Yummy......
