Ipoh

After the Cameron Highlands we (Gabrielle, Juliette, Dave, and I) decided to stop off in Ipoh before heading to the island of Langkawi.  Ipoh is known for their cave temples and as we discovered, absolutely delicious Chinese food.  Here is a restaurant that the owner of our hotel recommended to us, again we asked for a menu and they said no.  Wet noodles or dry noodles is all they wanted to know.

Inside the cave temple.  It got too dark to take pictures but we walked up about 200 steps, it was a very large cave.

The next morning before continuing on to Langkawi I ordered a "special breakfast" off of the menu.  What they brought was one piece of ham, one fried egg, one hot dog, one piece of toast, two fried imitation crab sticks, one chicken burger patty, a small pile of beans, and a tray of ketchup.  Quite special indeed.

Here was our hotel in Ipoh.  The man there had a theory about lottery numbers and a book with every number that had ever won.  Of course I asked for lotto advice and he gave me four numbers to play, I ran next door and bought myself a ticket with his winning numbers but checked the Sunday paper two days later only to find that I hadn't won (I don't get it!  How could I lose when he had that book?!).
