MALAYSIA'S MOST UNDERRATED CITY - Taiping, Perak

This was our first time visiting Taiping in Malaysia's Perak state and we can honestly say that we left feeling super impressed with Taiping's laid back atmosphere, incredible nature, delicious food and speedy WiFi. We think that over the next couple of years Taiping will become more popular amongst foreign travellers.
Definitely underrated!!!
Places we visited:
- Larut Matang Hawker Center
- Aun Tong Coffee Mill
- Abandoned Pre-War House
- Ansari Famous Cendol
- Taiping Lake Gardens
- Bismillah Restaurant
- Maxwell Hill / Bukit Larut

[@jeon-woo]

Micha it's ok for u to complain about the weather because we as Malaysian always complain about our weather,so remember u are not alone

[@omaronnyoutube]

I guess that's the one thing many Malaysians complain about all the time - the muggy weather. When it gets cooler later in the afternoon and when there is a breeze, that's when we see it as ideal and would be outdoors all day. Just don't be outdoors for too long right after the rain stop or you'd be greeted by blood sucking mosquitoes that would enjoy feasting on you.

[@hanifwanmin5217]

Lol i'm a local and that is the main reason I'm planning to settle up there. I love rainy days. ;P Cheers , god bless taiping !

Wow! Taiping is the best city . Greener and peaceful 😍

Ooooooo long video, love it! I'm literally watching this while eating breakfast. 😆

Love the video, I enjoyed the aerial view of the city. I've been to Taioing so many tjmes, but never saw it like this..thanks for the great video.

[@noreenarshad3672]

That's definitely my next destination when I'm next in Malaysia. Looks so beautiful. Thanks for this.

[@dathang]

Love the old abandoned house! Also nice to see how comfortable you are now with local life now... almost like the locals yourselves. Yes, the sleepy hamlet of Taiping used to be a retirement destination in the old days. Nice to see the pace of life is still leisurely. As always... Cheers, Ladies.

[@kambing_hitam_3390]

I see you haven't experienced lot more activities in taiping. I happy for this video and thank you for reviewing my lovely city. Really wish you guys come back, i got a lot story about taiping for you to experience.

Love this Malaysia series and you two are such great ambassadors.

[@vsctan7]

Great video and review. Shows that you guys really know Malaysia.

[@justrandom2754]

You need to wake up early in Taiping because of very cool and thick mist in the morning. So many water falls, streams and pools around Bukit Larut such as Burmese and Austing pool.

[@mohdnasribinmatnasir9225]

I have been to Taiping many years ago and the latest in 2018 while on journey back to Kuantan (Pahang) from Penang (8 hours driving by car). I just stayed one night in Taiping. It is good place to visit and full of nature with the old buildings still exist but still taken care well. Unlike other places in Malaysia, many of old buildings especially the colonization era are simply neglected.

[@EdVanWest]

Thanks for sharing, its always nice to see different places and Taiping is not to be missed.

[@nicoong8944]

Dear, first of all, thanks for introducing my hometown! :D Taiping is the wettest town in Malaysia, please remember to bring along your umbrella :) And besides, 12pm to 5pm is too hot to walk under the big bright sun. For local, we had already get used to it, but I still don't think it's a good idea to walk without umbrella. Besides, the high pitch sound comes from bugs. You can hear it in the morning near the trees around jungle. Quick tips for candol, we like to eat it with the ice. XD

[@SkyRock507]

Thanks for visiting and creating video of my Hometown :D .......YES Taiping is peaceful ...lovely..place... :)

[@yrazlan]

You are both so sweet and the best buddies travellers I have seen on KZbin. Respectful of each other and most calming friends in your episodes. Your presentation is relax, easy going and real. I live nearby 18km away of Taiping and indeed it's underrated town. Plenty to see and experience. Best on your journeys.

Omggg!you’re coming to my hometown! ❤️

[@daryltan5167]

your vlogs always makes me hungry! and yes to milo ais and teh o ais limau. i alternate between these two drinks... and 100 plus on really hot days. i use "mee-Lo" or "my-lo" interchangeably depending on the place and language/dialect used. "My-lo" is more anglicized so I would use it when speaking English and "Mee-Lo" at a Mamak or at the Chinese coffee shop when ordering Milo Ping

OMG cant believe u guys are nearby. Enjoy taiping!

[@raymonortiz3084]

I'm very intrigued by your video. It's interesting how MILO is pronounced with a short "i" there and we pronounce it with a long "i" in the Philippines. I want to try all the foods you're having over there. Including the one that looks like halo-halo. Lol! For you, Micha, I'm turning on the Malaysian national air conditioner so that you'll be more comfortable during your stay there. It might take a while before you feel it because the power switch is here in Los Angeles. Lol! Have fun you guys. Lovin your videos! 👍😊

Taiping is my wife's hometown. Known this town since 20 years ago. One thing is, the town hardly grow, hardly change. A lot of history and firsts such as oldest tree, oldest railroad etc. U can also visit Kuala Sepetang or Port Weld as u can see fishing village and charcoal factory. Try to eat famous foods here such as the popiah at the old market, mee udang, char kuey tiaw, ganja tea, Yong Tau Foo. All of them so cheap and nice. Enjoy

Hello girls! I haven't been to Taiping for a looong time. The park and the Bukit Larut is so refreshing and cool to watch. I love old buildings being renovated into hotels or cafes. Similar to what we have in Kuching. I like to tear up my roti. Either teh o ice or ice lemon tea both are good compliments to Malaysian spicy food. Good content as usual.

[@ridhuan3181]

You guys should DEFINITELY visit state of Perlis (the northern state of Peninsula Malaysia)! Especially during Songkran (13th -15th of April)! Go and celebrate Songkran at Wat Macchimaprasit or Suwankhiri in Jejawi/Kangar! Camping at Timah Tasoh is also a good idea to see the beauty of Perlis.. night there is beautiful, as you can stargazing (Major part of Perlis is free from light pollution at night, making Perlis, especially Timah Tasoh as one of the best place to stargazing especially during clear sky at night), and dawn/early morning view at the lake is also gorgeous as you can feel the cold air and watch the view of mist of the Nakawan range. Other attraction is Syed Alwi Mosque, Istana Arau (Arau Royal Palace), Arau Royal Gallery, Arau Royal Mosque, and Kuala Perlis. You can try the local signature dish like Laksa Kuala Perlis, seafood at Kuala Perlis and also Pulut Manga, if you are lucky enough you can try the Harum Manis Manggo where you cant find in any other state in Malaysia! I suggest you to take an ETS train from KL Sentral all the way to Arau Railway Station! You can stay at the Wooden Chalet D'Solo in Mata Ayer Kangar for a countryside stay!
