Day 3 was our day trip to Ipoh! Another scenic view as we drove for 1.5 hours!
Sar Hor Fun (Chinese : 沙河粉) - Ipoh is famous for its flat rice noodles, which is prepared with local unfiltered spring water. There are two varieties: Kai see hor fun (Chinese : 鸡丝河粉) is served in a clear chicken and prawn soup with chicken shreds, prawns and spring onions.
We also ordered a chee cheong fun, beansprouts and Thean Chun’s caramel egg custard which was said to be a MUST-try.

We also visited a temple, Ling Sen Tong Temple, which was just nearby before heading back! This is the most colorful temple that I have been to! And it has 
Ling Sen Tong is a beautiful Taoist cave temple located at the foot of a limestone hill in Ipoh, Perak. The name is literally translated as the Rock of Heavenly Spirits.

The main compound of the temple is adorned with many statues of various designs - there are various animals, deities, and other characters from the Chinese folklore.

Headed back to our apartment and took a nap before we made our own dinner!
On the first evening, we went grocery shopping to get some simple food to cook together! We wanted to use the kitchen in our apartment but cause it didn't have any cooking essentials like oil, salt so we could only think of making pasta!
Nothing fancy, but we really enjoyed our time together making dinner!
P/s: Only on our way back to Singapore that love realized that we forgot to take the garlic bread out from the freezer! To think, he chose the most expensive garlic bread to accompany our soup!
