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..

 |
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..
If you are ever in the vicinity of Taman Sri Gombak during dinner time, do drop in at Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan SG. It is situated at Jalan SG 1/8, Taman Sri Gombak.
