Yesssss. If you all want to know, UTAR stand for University Tungku Abdul Rahman. State in Kampar Perak. And of course, not a goverment university. But, the interesting part of UTAR is, there are some places that public can go. Such as their garden, park, lake, bamboo structure. You can do activities like jog, picnic, photoshoot and else. You just can get into this place by postguard, and park in front of the park. Its free. There are a lot of parking. So, you can park your car freely. #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #tripblazers #awesomepic #couplestrip #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip

The food court in Kampar Street Market is very low-key, and it brings together classic local delicacies from the three major ethnic groups in Malaysia (Malays, Chinese and Indians). There are many choices such as assorted fruits with black sauce, coconut water, nasi lemak, coconut sugar and coconut shredded crepes and some fried foods, etc., and the price is cheap, it is highly recommended! #Three major ethnic groups #Classic #Hidden food

This restaurant is famous for the Curry Chicken Bread as well as other dishes. It is located at the town centre along Jalan Idris. The owner was inspired by the Beggar’s Bread from Hong Kong to come out with the idea of stuffed curry bread in 1986. This is the first time I tried curry chicken bread, and I love it. It is delicious and will make you eat non-stop, the curry chicken is baked inside the soft fluffy bread, very aromatic. If you are not able to take spicy food, settle for the equally tasty herbal chicken bread. This restaurant also serves the typical Chinese dishes. Food is nice and reasonably priced. Occasionally there are tour groups that come here to enjoy this specialty during lunch and dinner time.

A super girly dining car Whether the appearance or the name of the store is too attractive, good looking and good to shoot crowds are also many oh stinky tofu taste is very rich The smell is still there oh #summerfood recommendations #foodtravel

Great experience for a newbie cave explorer. There are 2 tours offered - dry tour and wet tour. Both tours is divided to two more options - one is longer route than the other. You will be guided throughout the tours and can listen to so many facts explained by the guide. It would be much more interesting if you come in a group. We tried the dry tour (the longer route) since we did not bring any extra clothes. Took us around 40 minutes to the end of the tour back and forth to the cave entrance. There were thousands steps make sure you are fit enough to enjoy the walk. Next time for sure will try the wet tour it looks so much fun!

#summervacay #smilecafe #kampar #Breakfastfusion #coffee Nestled in the heart of Kampar, Smile Breakfast Station lives up to its name with a charming duality—where the casual charisma of a traditional kopitiam meets the relaxed cool of a modern café. One space, two vibes. On one side, you have the nostalgic clatter of cutlery and kopi cups; on the other, the mellow hum of air-conditioning and espresso machines. It’s a rare hybrid that caters effortlessly to both teh tarik traditionalists and latte lovers. What makes this fusion spot truly special is its menu—a glorious collision of cultures. For the local palate, there’s the ever-comforting pan mee, fragrant curry mee, and slurp-worthy laksa, best paired with a creamy white coffee. For those in the mood for something a little more continental, the café-style offerings don’t disappoint: spaghetti, chicken chop, and barista-brewed coffees like mocha and cappuccino. I went with the olio olio spaghetti, a simple dish done right—garlicky, slick with olive oil, and just spicy enough to spark the taste buds. Paired with a velvety cappuccino, the meal came to less than RM20, which felt like a quiet little win in today’s café economy. Whether you’re here for the AC and a caffeine fix, or for a bowl of noodles in the open-air bustle, Smile Breakfast Station is exactly what its name promises: a reason to smile before the day even starts.

#summervacay #leicha #food #kampar Tucked away in the quiet charm of Kampar, Lei Cha Café breathes new life into a traditional Hakka staple. Often regarded as a humble, herbal comfort food, lei cha here is reimagined with a touch of creativity and customization—without losing the spirit of its origins. The heart of the meal remains a familiar one: a base of rice topped with a rainbow of chopped vegetables, roasted peanuts, and preserved radish. But the magic begins when you’re given the freedom to personalize your bowl. I chose to top mine with slices of BBQ pork and a soft-boiled egg—an unexpected twist that added savory richness and a touch of indulgence to the normally earthy profile. Even the iconic green soup—usually a one-style-fits-all herbal concoction—has options. You can go for the traditional runny broth or opt for a thicker, paste-like version that clings warmly to each grain of rice. I tried both, and each brought out different nuances of the ingredients it accompanied. There’s something delightful about watching a dish so rooted in heritage being made new without being stripped of its soul. Lei Cha Café manages to be both a nod to the past and a gentle push into the future—turning the ancient into the approachable, the medicinal into the modern. Kampar’s evolving food scene just found another gem. If you’re curious about how old flavors can wear new clothes, this is one experience not to miss.

#springitinerary While it was China's National Day 🇨🇳 and just a regular weekend abroad, we took the chance to go on an exciting little getaway — to Gua Tempurung in Perak, Malaysia! 😍 This natural limestone cave is said to have formed as early as 8000 BC! Inside, it’s filled with stunning stalactites, marble, stalagmites, and all kinds of fascinating rock formations. 📍 Our day started bright and early — we drove from KL and stopped by Bidor Market for breakfast. It was alright… but the market itself was impressively clean! Around 10AM, we finally arrived at Gua Tempurung. We bought the GT (Grand Tour - Dry) ticket, which only allows stair access — no water or crawling through tight spots. The cave is huge, and the stairs are many… and steep! 😅 Some of the iron staircases were slippery due to moisture, so be extra careful. I used the default camera on my iPhone 13 Pro Max for photos — and yes, the steps are often narrow and tall, not the best for anyone with a fear of heights. Since it’s enclosed, it does get a bit stuffy inside, and climbing those stairs was quite the workout. But overall? Totally worth it! 🙌 ✨ What I regret: Not doing the full cave exploration — the rock climbing, river trekking, and belly-crawling parts sound amazing (and a little wild!). If you go, definitely join the wet adventure tours! Just make sure to wear something comfy and not too precious 😆 Bring a flashlight, headlamp, and safety helmet too. 🗺️ 4 Package Options: Gold Flowstone (GF - Dry) Top of the World (TOW - Dry) Top of the World + Short River Adventure (TWR - Wet) Grand Tour (GT - Wet) 👉 GF & TOW are easier, drier tours – sightseeing only. 👉 TWR & GT include wet activities, climbing and crawling, and require a professional guide with proper gear. 🎫 Ticket Prices (for Grand Tour): 🇲🇾 Malaysians: RM30 (adult) / RM15 (child) 🌏 Foreigners: RM50 (adult) / RM25 (child) #Malaysia #Perak #IpohAdventures #GuaTempurung #CaveExploration 🧗♂️🪨💧

Got to try really nice Kampar noodles, the fried meat ball was super good that we ordered additional 10 pieces as snacks Instead of Kangkung sotong, they serve Pucuk Paku Sotong which is such an amazing combination to try! Also got Pang Tai Won (green drink) which is centella good for body and Orange Aiyu jelly which is the best drink to cure the Malaysian scorching heat Love the ambience here!#kampar #perak #perakfood

Yummy claypot chicken rice with reasonable price in Kampar.

Gua Tempurung, just outside Ipoh, is one of Malaysia’s largest limestone caves. It features stunning rock formations, underground rivers, and vast chambers like the Golden Flowstone. Visitors can choose dry or wet tours, from easy walks to adventurous crawls. Proper shoes are a must! A fantastic experience for nature and adventure lovers. Good exercise after all the good food in ipoh. took me less than 30min to complete to and fro the group 1 package.

Stayed 3D2N at Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat, expensive but really enjoy it. Free entrance to the Lost World of Tambun and amazed by the wide range of animals they have! Also went for whitewater rafting at Gopeng. It was absolutely fun and truly love the beauty of nature in a special way that Ipoh can offer.

Got my business appointment last minute. Our event was supposed to be at Tapah but since accomodation in the area was fully booked, we had to travel further to Kampar. Nice Place and Great People. Most important, great hospitality

A place that worth a visit! It was cooling inside the cave but as you climb the stairs you tend to sweat and it will be kinda stuffy. So make sure to bring along a portable fan. It's definitely not a place for weak knees people as there are a lot of stairs to climb if you are taking the route 1, which is claimed to be suitable to the youngs and olds. Beautiful limestones can be seen and those natural features are what amazed me. #travel #thingstodo #naturalwonders

#favouriteitinerary #thingstodo #beautiful_malaysia Nestled in the charming town of Kampar, Castle Avenue is a whimsical destination that feels like it’s been plucked straight out of a storybook. This enchanting spot, with its European-inspired castle architecture, is a dream come true for anyone who’s ever fantasized about stepping into a fairytale. As I wandered through the cobblestone pathways, I was mesmerized by the towering turrets, arched windows, and intricate stonework that make Castle Avenue so unique. The atmosphere is magical, especially in the evening when the castle is illuminated, casting a warm glow over the entire area. It’s the perfect backdrop for photos, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few (or a lot!) of pictures.
