Great video. There are more things to see and experience in Taiping that shouldn't be missed. • Kampung Dew Firelies • Heritage trail • Charcoal factory • Kuala Sepetang river cruise • Hike up to Maxwell Hill • Mushroom processing factory • Bertam craft making • Batik making • Visit tradisional house (118 yrs) • Marshall art (silat) performance • Traditional delicacies making • Jungle trekking • River and cave trekking • Visit local fruits farm • Sunset spot / watching • Hornbills trekking • Zoo educational and conservation program and many more. All these are within reach if you would like to explore.
I am from Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia and have never been to Taiping. Thank you for sharing the video of Taiping that many Malaysians do not know. It is interesting and fun to see you both.
Wow 🤩 I was super excited to see the title Taiping… cuz I am a Taiping girl. Born and raised there. It’s my lovely hometown. So nice to see you guys bring along to all the oldest places which I never noticed or knew. Thank you so much guys 😊. A bird 🦅 poop on your hair… it’s sign of good luck. Enjoy and have a wonderful year 2024 🎉
Glad you 'discovered' Taiping. More visitors should, but I like stepping off the tourist trail. As you say, one rarely encounters other western travelers while in town. I splurge on accommodation when visiting, but in fact the Novotel is only slightly more than US $30 per night for a near 5-star experience. And the hawker center you visited--Larut Matang, I believe--is my favorite in all of Malaysia. Can't wait for August!
Taiping aka peace and harmony town! Nearby is msia 1st club, next to Msia 1st golf club. Interestingly taiping is most love by older folks from outside of town. Nearby, is the Kuala sepitang.
Great filming and editing. I love when you covered many museums and respected the culture.. Taiping reminded me of Taiwan where I was from.. Terrific job!
Actually Taiping would be first for English based civilization.😊 For oldest places in Malaysia, that would be Bujang Valley in Kedah state. Civilization started there from 788 BC and said to have the oldest iron ore smelting site in Southeast Asia, catering to trade between India, the Arab world and China. Peace 🙏

Great trip to Taiping. Love the purple chopstick and purple flower 😁👍. A must destination in my lifetime. Have a pleasant trip. Who else going for it 😂🤣
Great video, but you miss one very important landmark of taiping - 1. World War II Memorial Cemetery! It just located next to the Lake Garden. The cemetery lays hundreds of British soldiers who defending Malaya during WW2. 2. Maxwell Hills located only few hundred metres from the war cemetery. The hill has cold climate and offers beautiful view of Taiping town and lot of flowers/orchids.
We went to Taiping a few years ago. One of our favourite places in Malaysia. We arrived in the pouring rain, but it soon cleared up and it was blue skies for our stay there.
Kuey teow is made from rice flour. Wan Tan noodles which is the dried one in black sauce U ate is egg noodles. In Hong Kong is popular served in soup. Very rare to find dried ones. Fried kuey teow is very popular in Penang. On noodles there's also rice vermicelli basically rice noodles then there's yellow noodles and pan mee , wheat flour noodles. Plenty of varieties of noodles you can find in Malaysia 😂 and plenty of instant noodles too 😂
Go back to that hawker centre and go to stall #63. There you will find a fried koay teow dish that is unique to Taiping. It is fried in a dark sauce with fish balls and char siew is added. One of my favourite go to dishes whenever I'm in Taiping.
My favorite place to go to when I needed to indulge myself in food (though I'm from Penang) and some relaxation away from the busyness of the city life. In fact, it's my dad's hometown and Taiping town is where I spent most of my school holidays esp year end with the family .... I still feel very homey each time I'm there. Lots of good food and places to visit
I clicked the thumb up button @14:16 right after you got pooped by the bird. Hahaha.. that means your luck is turning for the better.. or is it the other way round.. lol. I grow up living my first eleven years here in Taiping although I was born in Melaka. I had many fond memories of this special place.

Mooncakes are baked pastries that are usually eaten during a Chinese celebration called the Mid-autumn festival. Different mooncakes comes with different fillings such as red bean paste, lotus seed paste etc.
@@TalesFromOurPocket Yea, so if it wasn't for the baggie, you'd have to strain the coffee beans out before drinking. So yea, the sachet bags are to help you skip a step & just drink after steeping.
After more than 5 decades, I am leaving Taiping. Definitely going to miss the place.I have known this place like the back of my hand. Wonderful & peaceful place to live. Sad to leave. Gonna miss you Taiping.❤❤❤
Do you usually when your not taping, carry a collapsible sunbrella? Helps!!! Also, sugar free ( small and light)Gatorade packets to mix up helps your electrolytes in the high heat and humidity. Learned through experience it can be hard to acclimate if your from northern climes.👍
I always suggest Taiping n Kuala Kangsar as places to visit in malaysia, then there is muar in johor (when u r in melaka, try to go to muar by slow bus, which follow the village route to muar, not the highway) .
It‘s so nice to see my mother in law in your video. She is working in the food court which you did visit and bought and eat the noddles there. Thanks for support here👍🏻😊

Taiping ehh..that's a great historical town.used to visit there various times especially the Taiping Zoo n the Lake Garden. Yeah.wonder too.why the Town was not listed on the tourist itinerary. Not surprising either if you visit many other countries..there are interesting places that were not listed..May be they are not purposely left out . I have been studying in New Zealand for some times. Then been to Australia, UK especially around London, Cambridge then to Scotland, to the Netherlands Denmark Sweden Germany and all the ASEAN neighbouring countries especially our close neighbour Thailand, Japan Korea Sri Lanka and India. End of 2023 been to Sabah and Sarawak..revisit again!! Well there are so many interesting places to see..if you can afford it..money n time I mean. Try visiting North n South Islands of N.Zealand guys! Happy n safe travelling guys!
I think many, like us, are more focused on the UK and EU... We're busy exploring Europe. In fact our Iceland series starts tomorrow. Asia? Someday 😊 if there's time. The world is big and time is short.
Try to produce videos of Asian countries guys..see the difference. I used to visit many countries around Europe before retiring nowadays. You'll find stark differences in term of nature, social n customs values n way of life..will make us realised the importance of love n harmony in life among human societies!
I got done by a dove sittin on the power line when I was 5 year old waiting for the bus infront of my home in 1980. First and the only incident throughout my life. The warmth it's good though. Hope you both stay safe.
The warmth is good. 😂😂😂 This is actually the second time I've been pooped on in 5 years! I was pooped on in the face by a giant seagull in Portugal. 😭😂

Mr Sun Yat sen 孙中山 is heavily related to Taiwan.btw,wantan noodles is quite common in Malaysia and most of the Chinese /Chinatown areas, US Chinatown should have right?
Chinese Mid-Autumn festival 2023 is just around the corner on September 29, 2023. A symbol of unity, mooncakes are typically savoured with friends and family. While traditional mooncakes are golden-brown and filled with lotus seed paste and sometimes cured duck egg yolks, popularised in the last few years are snow skin mooncakes, covered in a delicate skin made from glutinous rice flour. Whether you prefer traditional varieties or unexpected flavour combinations, we have you covered with our complete round-up of where you can find the best mooncakes in town.
They sell those empty bags at Asian markets. You fill the bag with loose tea or coffee and drop it in a cup or pot to make hour own coffee. Beats hotel coffee. Or you can buy 2 in 1 (cream and coffee) or 3 in 1 (sugar, cream, coffee) sachets. They are pretty good too and better than hotel room coffee. Moon ages come out in the fall for the festival. I like the one withbthe lotus paste, comes with egg yolks in it too (not a fan of the yolk). We are heading to Malaysia next month. I thought we'd been everywhere, but never had desire to visit Taiping. Maybe this time? Bird poop happens. Me, Redondo Beach by a seagull. Right shoulder.
Tourism Board of Malaysia could have done more. Leaving out the 'top three sustainable cities in the world' out of the must visit map is absolute bonkers! By the way, come again soon
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a harvest festival celebrated in Chinese culture. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar.[1] On this day, the Chinese believe that the moon is at its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of autumn.[2] The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture; its popularity is on par with that of Chinese New Year. The history of the festival dates back over 3,000 years.[3][4] Similar festivals are celebrated by other cultures in East and Southeast Asia. During the festival, lanterns of all size and shapes - which symbolize beacons that light people's path to prosperity and good fortune - are carried and displayed. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean, egg yolk, meat or lotus-seed paste, are traditionally eaten during this festival.[5][6][7] The Mid-Autumn Festival is based on the legend of Chang'e, the Moon goddess in Chinese mythology.
You can find those "instant" coffee bags in supermarkets everywhere. Guess it is a thing in Singapore and Malaysia LOL. Doubt they use butter to roast though. Most of them use margarine. Most famous fried kway teow is the Penang version. Kway teow soup from Ipoh is very popular cos of their "spring water" said to use to make their kway teow and grow their bean sprouts. That dark soy based noodle is called dry wanton mee with char siew. Char siew has some sweetness from molasses/honey/sugar perhaps all depends on how the vendor makes it😂Is boiled egg wanton noodles not pan fried. Singapore has a Sun Yat Sen memorial hall. He is very popular in this part of the world.
I guess first ever train locomotive in mlysis was brought frm England n operated in mlaya in 1889..more than 100 yrs ago. I imagine how a hugh machine was brough in n transported when there was no big truck around then..haha

Sun yat sen is a revolutionist in China against communist. He went to Taiwan. In penang island, there is a museum about him. He used penang as a place to plan his move in China and Taiwan.
You may have gotten some of your facts incorrectly. Sun Yat-sen is actually a revolutionist against Qing Dynasty, the Imperialism. He may have visited Taiwan but he surely stayed on and passed away in Beijing in 1925 long before China embraced Communism after Democracy failed to work there.
Great place where i belong but most of those needed places to be preserved are ignored, damaged , altered the origin. Like Railway station becomes food centres, century old rest house opposite primary king Edward school and hope the market opened after rebuild as original let the market operated as it is and hope not becoming like central market in KL becomes gift stalls etc. And there are many more....

Taiping is the wettest place in Malaysia. You guys happen to be there on a humid day, but when it rains, it really pours!
People say when you got hit by bird's poop, you have good luck 😂 Taiping have the old town vibe which is also nice and relaxing.

We can buy coffee bags in Australia in the supermarket. Much better than instant. We did bring home coffee bags and lemon tea bags from Malaysia.
Did you know?
The first hospital of Malaysia is also build in Taiping.
I love Taiping. I especially love the beautiful park and their waterfalls. It is so underrated that many visitors miss it.
Thank you for this video. Wonderful. Happy New Year to you guys. The architecture of the Anglican Church is simple but beautiful.

Goodness, a lot of Malaysian’s historical towns and parts of its cities looks like it came out of Ghibli’s world. I love it.
Wow. Never knew Taiping has the first of some many things in Malaysia.
They missed the iconic Maxwell Hills or Bukit Larut as it’s called now.
Love the usage of the old sewing machines
It was honestly so creative!!
Hey that's my hometown! That tree in the garden is iconic. Also the museum is very close to the first prison in Malaysia.
Mooncake is actually round but can be different design now
Love this video! As a Taipingnite, you nailed this video!
Taipingese more like it.
Yup, black coffee in sachets / tea bogs is a thing here. That's because it's ground up coffee beans, unlike instant coffee.
I'd never had coffee that way before! It was a huge surprise (obviously).😂
@@TalesFromOurPocket Yea, so if it wasn't for the baggie, you'd have to strain the coffee beans out before drinking. So yea, the sachet bags are to help you skip a step & just drink after steeping.
I'm from neighbouring Singapore and l've never been to Taiping! Watching your video, it looks like a great place for a weekend getaway.
best place for retirement
Its like a journalist making a vid..quite deep understanding on local historical facts. ❤❤❤
Suggested to go to Bukit Larut hiking👍 Can stay a night @ Hotel Grand Baron near Bukit Larut, its a really nice and quiet place.
In fog and rain .
That moon cake and coconut juice 😋😋😋
After more than 5 decades, I am leaving Taiping. Definitely going to miss the place.I have known this place like the back of my hand. Wonderful & peaceful place to live. Sad to leave. Gonna miss you Taiping.❤❤❤

Bird poop happens. Me, Redondo Beach by a seagull. Right shoulder.
Very nice!
The pickled green pepper is the soul of the dry noodle. 😂 It’s not hot or spicy, it’s sweet and sour taste pickle.
Tourism Board of Malaysia could have done more. Leaving out the 'top three sustainable cities in the world' out of the must visit map is absolute bonkers!
By the way, come again soon
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a harvest festival celebrated in Chinese culture. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar.[1] On this day, the Chinese believe that the moon is at its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of autumn.[2]
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture; its popularity is on par with that of Chinese New Year. The history of the festival dates back over 3,000 years.[3][4] Similar festivals are celebrated by other cultures in East and Southeast Asia.
During the festival, lanterns of all size and shapes - which symbolize beacons that light people's path to prosperity and good fortune - are carried and displayed. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean, egg yolk, meat or lotus-seed paste, are traditionally eaten during this festival.[5][6][7] The Mid-Autumn Festival is based on the legend of Chang'e, the Moon goddess in Chinese mythology.
You can find those "instant" coffee bags in supermarkets everywhere. Guess it is a thing in Singapore and Malaysia LOL. Doubt they use butter to roast though. Most of them use margarine. Most famous fried kway teow is the Penang version. Kway teow soup from Ipoh is very popular cos of their "spring water" said to use to make their kway teow and grow their bean sprouts.
That dark soy based noodle is called dry wanton mee with char siew. Char siew has some sweetness from molasses/honey/sugar perhaps all depends on how the vendor makes it😂Is boiled egg wanton noodles not pan fried.
Singapore has a Sun Yat Sen memorial hall. He is very popular in this part of the world.
You are right. Many coffee mill in Malaysia use margarine, However, more expensive local coffee is roasted with butter.😊
I would love to know which are the brands out there that uses butter! Can they be bought from the supermarkets?@@amiryazidali7659

Taiping is the oldest tin mine town in malaysia.
First railway station in Taiping to transport tin.

Taiping my hometown❤❤
Sun yat sen is a revolutionist in China against communist. He went to Taiwan. In penang island, there is a museum about him. He used penang as a place to plan his move in China and Taiwan.
You may have gotten some of your facts incorrectly. Sun Yat-sen is actually a revolutionist against Qing Dynasty, the Imperialism. He may have visited Taiwan but he surely stayed on and passed away in Beijing in 1925 long before China embraced Communism after Democracy failed to work there.
The famous koteyow kangkang. ...still exist ?
Great place where i belong but most of those needed places to be preserved are ignored, damaged , altered the origin. Like Railway station becomes food centres, century old rest house opposite primary king Edward school and hope the market opened after rebuild as original let the market operated as it is and hope not becoming like central market in KL becomes gift stalls etc. And there are many more....
You missed the schools which are some of the oldest in Malaysia.
WELCOME TO MY HOME SWEET HOME TOWN GUYS..
Did you miss visiting one of the oldest prison in Malaysia just opposite the Perak Museum?
Taiping one of good city for retirement, just like Ipoh.
Opposite the museum is the first prison in Malaysia

Happy weekend to you! 😊
