Since my wife started continuing her studies earlier this
year, we have been frequenting the town of
Tanjung Malim in Perak. Tanjung Malim is
situated about an hours drive from
Kuala
Lumpur via the North-South Expressways. One of the few
famous attractions in Tanjung Malim is not it's places of interest but the
"pau" or steamed bun with wide assortment of fillings. The
famous Yik Mun Pau are the most famous in Perak. The shop is located at
Jalan Slim
River in Tanjung Malim.
It is at the junction from
Kuala Lumpur -
Ipoh main road and the road leading to Tanjung Malim town and
the road heading to
Proton
City..

| Yik Mun is a small corner lot shop that can be overcrowded during weekends |
 |
The various "Pau" for the taste buds. Never leave Tangjung Malim
without trying Yik Mun's Pau.... |
Tanjung Malim is also scattered with budget hotels such as
the Sahara Inn Hotel, Hotel Twin Star, Hotel Cahaya, Hotel Bunga Raya and
Tanjung Malim Budget Hotel. We will update the blogs on some of the other
hotels in our future blogs. Recently 2 more hotel came up, the Sri Malim
Hotel (budget) and the LP Hotel which is a boutique hotel as the owners Mr Tony and Ms Lee puts it. Well yes, this time around we booked a room at the LP Hotel. During our last
visit to Tanjung Malim, we have surveyed this hotel and the front office staff was obliging enough for us to take a tour of all the rooms with
different configurations.

Yes, the rooms and the hotel itself is very tastefully
decorated and it definitely does not look like a budget hotel at all. No wonder
the owners Mr Tony and Ms Lee rather call it a boutique hotel. When we checked
in, we were fortunate enough to have met the owners and had a chat with them
while being processed to check in. They were very friendly right up to the son,
Jarred (I hope I get your name right !) who accompanied us up to the room. Even
to my surprised, Mr Tony himself offered to help carry our bags right up to the
2nd floor...
All in all, we would highly recommend this hotel if you decide to stay in Tanjung Malim. We would definitely look into staying here again on our future visits to Tanjung Malim..

Hi there, what is the interesting place to walk around Tanjung Malim?
ReplyDeletenow easy for us to go there by KTM from Midvalley, but we've never tried before
Hi there Mrs...well, there is not much happening in Tanjung Malim. The best thing to do there is to visit the Night Market on Saturdays. Other than that, it's just not much to look forward to... nevertheless do go there and make sure you don't miss out on the Yik Mun pau...
DeleteI hv doubts bout the pau...halal or not...but beware muslims....the owner is chinese...I hv many chinese frens (businessmen) n wen they say halal...tat means no pork in the filings....BUT what they r not aware of that the meat (chicken etc) must be slaughtered (sembelih) in accordance to syariah regulation......Asked me...NO, I'll pass...I'll leave Tg Malim without the paus.....What I as a muslim dont understand is how foolish n gullible muslim nowadays like u
