We kept exploring the culinary scene in and around Ipoh! First, we treated ourselves to some delicious desserts, and then we headed to a traditional Chinese restaurant. The next day, we enjoyed our breakfast under a massive tree, visited a traditional Chinese bakery, and then moved on to my cousin’s lovely farm!

This week, we chatted about how queueing has changed in Malaysia. Back when I was younger, people didn’t care about waiting in line and respecting your turn. People would just jump the queue. But over the last ten years, things have gotten much better. Now, more and more folks are happy to wait in long lines for their favorite food or stuff. Are you one of them? Let’s hear what our guests have to say about it!
