Chemor & Pusing

Our plan was to drive up to Chemor then down to Pusing then home. However, there were so many yummy surprises in Chemor that we only managed to drop by Pusing for awhile. Gotta get our butts back there again!
Chemor, Perak
 Welcome to the darling town of Chemor.

Big market. We were on a mission to hunt for an old lady who sells Hakka kuehs in the market.

Chemor, Perak
 Found the old lady and found the kuehs!
Chemor, Perak
The trick to these Hakka kuehs is the thinness of the skin and a whole dollop of tasty filling. Hakka people prefer savory or salty fillings, that's why one can eat a lot of kuehs at a time!
This kueh is with coconut fillings.
Stopped by a kopitiam nearby to enjoy the kuehs but was attracted by a young boy selling wantan noodles, so decided to try them. They were DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS!


 Coffee was great too.
 Went for a stroll after breakfast.

Famous for its lui cha and hakka chai kueh in Chemor, Perak
The ever so wonderful Chong Chew. They serve great food and make crazy tasty Hakka kuehs.

On the way to visit the old railway station in Tanjung Rambutan, an Indian man suddenly ran passed my car at top speed.  I stopped to see what was happening. Hehe...he ran after a calf, shooed it towards the herd, then shooed all, walking passed my car. We waved at him and he waved back with a huge smile on his face. What a guy!
Tanjung Rambutan Railway Station.  Began its operations in the late 1890s, it is now abandoned, of course. Who cares about it being once useful, connecting towns and serving the people, right?
Welcome to Pusing!

When I drove into the town, I was like.....Hello Papan!!!
Pusing is Papan's neighbor. Papan is a ghost town which I had visited not too long ago, an interesting dilapidated town indeed. BUT, Pusing.... Pusing is full of life.

Stopped by the famous Hakka kueh stalls in Pusing.



 Found beautiful sticky pancake in Pusing.
Tau Foo Fah was lovely.
