IPOH, Malaysia we DIDN'T EXPECT THIS!

Hello everyone, Today Jay and I take you to Ipoh, Malaysia and IT WAS AWESOME! We didn't really know what to expect before coming to Ipoh but heard it was a must do, so we packed up the car and hit the road! Buddhist temples in caves, Kelly's Castle and the Limestone cliffs were so beautiful. I hope you enjoy our video, and thanks for watching! Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE before you go!!

Ipoh is the hometown of the actress, Michelle Yeoh, who rose to international fame in the James Bond movie, Tomorrow Never Dies, starring opposite Pierce Brosnan. Other well-known films she starred in include Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Crazy Rich Asians.

I really loves watching your videos of your journey in Malaysia. Frankly, many of the places that your went.. I still haven't got a chance to visit yet. so I have to say thank you for showing me those places. I know now you're in Singapore & I you have a chance to comeback to Malaysia, please visit Sabah & Sarawak in Borneo, East Malaysia...the nature & the multi ethnics live there are beautiful. There are also beautiful islands, beaches & I hope you could connect with the peoples of longhouse. Keep going, guys.

Cantonese food heaven.

[@wattstraveling]

👍 if like to try some other dishes too

[@muthulingamramiah5546]

What? No... The Dim Sums and Fried Dumplings in Ipoh are the best... I guess you guys are just not used to that much Umami flavor all at once in a dish...but that's the whole idea, it is supposed to be very fishy but freshly made and very flavorful and it is one of the best comfort foods Asia has to offer... Most Asian dishes are definitely not subtle and It is very flavorful and wakes up your taste buds... That's how we like it...and that's why we go crazy over Durian... :) Anyway, love your videos and please visit our world famous Tropical Islands... they are amazing...

[@wattstraveling]

I know, right. I really wish I loved it....I like dim sum just not the fishy ones!.... but there was a lot! 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

They charge fee for camera in Kelly's castle because its a famous local wedding photography destination, which is quite annoying for tourist sometimes. For dimsum, u guys went to the wrong place, its a tourist trap, should seek local advice for better dimsum gems in ipoh. General guide, see tourists packed = bad or overrated food.

Hello there, thank you for your opinion, but I don't think it's neither impolite or misleading, considering (if you've been there) there are health warnings stated on a big sign inside the cave..... and the climb was extremely difficult..... so it really isn't for everyone. We are lucky enough to climb to the top, but lots will not.
