PERAK TRIP 2017 - TRONG LEISURE FARM 自农休闲农庄

Already many years since I last visited other parts of Perak except Taiping.  Every year without fail, I would visit Taiping, the town where my relatives reside but not the other towns in Perak.

Out of the blue, I joined my Taichi group for a day trip to Ipoh and this Trong Leisure Duck Farm was one of the few places which we visited.

This is my first visit here, reminds me of my younger days where my grandma and mom would rear ducks from cute little ducklings around the compound of our house.  I remembered we will collect leftover food from economy food stalls to feed these ducklings.  Oh, those were the days and non-existent now.  So a visit to this duck farm does bring back some childhood memories of ducklings and ducks.

Below are some information about Ducks

There is an admission fee to visit the farm but if you follow a group trip, it is all taken care off by the organiser.

PERAK TRIP 2017 - BISCUIT FACTORY TAIPING

As I mentioned in my earlier post about my Perak trip, Taiping is like my second hometown.  I have been buying various kinds of biscuits whenever I visited Taiping but visiting a biscuit factory is a first time.  

I suppose some factories only allow group visits.

Taiping town is popular for many varieties of traditional biscuits like Heong Piah, Tau Sar Piah, Lo Por Biscuits, Kaya Biscuits, Pepper Biscuits, Brown Sugar Biscuits, Crispy Walnut Biscuits [Hup Toh Soh] etc.

The following photos were taken when our group visited this factory located at Kampong Boyan, Taiping [here].

This visit was made possible when I joined the Day Trip to Ipoh from Penang.  

Antong Coffee Mill is the most historical mill in Malaysia with over 80 years history.  Founded in 1933 by Mr Tiah Ee Mooi.  Many bloggers have shared loads of information about this coffee mill.  Do visit them for the details.
