I was there once many years ago with someone who knew the city. They took us to a local "fast food" place where nobody spoke English. They ordered for us a big plate of carnitas, tortillas, and dishes of avacado, limes and cilantro, and we made our own fresh tacos at the table. A group of musicians wandered in. Someone was celebrating a birthday and they sang to her. Then SHE stood up and sang to her friends while the musicians accompanied. I fell in love with Tijuana that day!

Ah, I hail from the small town of Ipoh, Malaysia and over the past few years this small little town nestled between the hills of Kinta Valley has been getting quite a lot of attention for various reasons. It was even featured in Lonely Planet's 2017 as one of the Top 10 must-visit places in Asia!

This signboard greets you whenever you enter the townThere are many reasons why you should visit Ipoh, but I think many locals can agree that FOOD is definitely one of the top reasons. We are famous for our food like the bean sprout chicken, beancurd, asam laksa and our signature white coffee. There are so many food choices here that you don't have to worry about eating the same food twice while you're here (unless you're planning to stay for months, that is).

Top on the food list is the bean sprout chicken. Legends say that Ipoh's bean sprouts are especially fat due to the rich water in the valley

 Sweetened beancurd or tau fu fah, is also another popular dish. The beancurd is so smooth and soft that it melts in your mouth

 Salt baked chicken is also quite famous. Those juicy tender meat wrapped in salt and baked is just another whole level

 I can go on with the list of food that Ipoh is famous for, but it would just make me drool and miss my hometown more.

While food is one of the best reason to visit Ipoh, another close contender that I can think of are the limestone temples. Due to the many limestone hills surrounding Ipoh, there are many temples built into them, which is quite the sight to visit.

Almost all of the temples are Buddhist temples, like the Perak Tong pictured here

 You can admire both the limestone formation of the cave and the design of the temple. Pictured here is Kek Lok Tong

 There are also other temples around Ipoh, but you get the gist. It's quite an amazing experience to be there and realize that it takes thousands of years for these caves to form, slowly through the process of erosion.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can also travel slightly out of town to visit Tempurung Cave.

Being in Tempurung Cave is just a whole different type of experience. The cave is MASSIVE and takes a few hours to complete the track within

 Like I said, if you're feeling adventurous, there are also the wet tours. Not for the claustrophobic though

 Ipoh is truly a remarkable place to visit due to its food and scenery and I am proud to call it my hometown. Do drop by if you have the chance and let me know if you need any tips or recommendations!
