Up too early on a Saturday morning (0730) to get on the road for an exploration around the Royal State of Perak, in the West of the peninsular. Armed with my GPS and iPhone music, we head towards Bidor (where I'd been before for famous duck soup with Charles, Adrian and Edwin on a previous visit to Ipoh). Initially we take the North-South Expressway to get that far, but then take the quieter road to our first stop - Teluk Intan, a small town with a leaning tower (Menara Condong).
We pass a load of old buildings on the way into the town centre and park up, before getting out for a wander about the town taking photos and finding a place for coffee / breakfast. The tower is nice, a bit weird and a little bit out of place, and I am not sure why it’s leaning. After wandering around the tower and piazza, we head back to some older town buildings that we passed on the way in, before finding coffee and food. I must admit, I didn’t think the food was up to much in this place that we’d found: the restaurant had no name, so I couldn’t check in and criticise… we had nasi lemak with prawns (small with shells on adding an extra (unwanted) crunch), topped with a cold greasy fried egg. I was hungry enough to eat most of it and then head back to the car to continue our journey.
