You just can get into this place by postguard, and park in front of the park. Its free. There are a lot of parking.

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 #ktmb #etstrain #kampar As the sun dipped low over Kampar, I arrived at the town’s modest train sentral—an outpost of stillness tucked a little away from the bustle. The 7PM ETS awaited, quietly punctual. For RM38, this was more than a ride—it was a transition between worlds. The station itself felt like an echo chamber of calm: no crowds, no chaos. A lone kiosk stood ready for self-check-in, beside a vending machine humming softly, offering chilled comfort in plastic bottles. The quiet—almost too still—became a canvas for thought. The solitude made every footstep sound deliberate. Boarding the train, I settled into the rhythm of steel gliding over track. The scenery melted from Kampar’s sleepy outlines into the industrial heartbeat of KL. For all its simplicity, this trip was a breath between chapters: rural hush meeting urban pulse.

#summervacay #kampar #leicha Nestled in Kampar’s evolving foodscape, I stumbled upon a contemporary ode to Hakka heritage—Lei Cha, affectionately known as Thunder Rice. But this wasn’t your grandmother’s recipe served in porcelain bowls; this shop has reimagined the classic into fusion marvels: Korean-style kimbap rolls bursting with earthy greens, a Japanese cold mee interpretation that soothes in the heat, and even a BBQ pork upgrade that adds savory depth to tradition. Each dish was a vibrant mosaic. Greens, tofu, nuts, and grains dancing in synchronized colors—nutritional confetti for the senses. Paired with a chilled Americano, the meal struck a meditative balance: fullness without heaviness, tradition with innovation, flavor with fiber. It wasn’t just a dinner—it felt like a nutritional reset wrapped in nostalgia and novelty. In a world constantly rushing forward, this modern Lei Cha experience paused time. It reminded me that cultural inheritance isn’t frozen—it evolves with us, deliciously.

#summervacay #mural #kampar Tucked away in the quiet corners of Old Kampar, a charming alley bursts into life—not with noise, but with color. Each wall tells a tale, etched with brushstrokes that capture the heartbeat of the town. It’s not just street art—it’s a visual map for wanderers, a tribute to Kampar’s soul. 🏞️ What You’ll See: • Cascading waterfalls spilling across concrete, inviting you to explore nature’s tucked-away treasures. • Scenes of hiking trails like reflections of untamed adventure. • Food icons—bowl-shaped memories of Kampar’s culinary comfort, from claypot chicken rice to iced coffee bliss. • Cultural landmarks woven into the mural’s tapestry, making each step a dialogue with history. 📷 Why It’s Unmissable: Every mural is a backdrop waiting for stories. Whether you’re a curious traveler or a local rediscovering your town, this alley transforms photography into narrative. The details are vivid, playful, and deeply rooted in what Kampar celebrates—its nature, flavors, and legacy.

#summervacay #kampar #clocktower #travel Kampar Old Town doesn’t shout its history—it whispers it. Nestled beside the local police station stands a time-worn sentinel: the Kampar Clock Tower, stoic and dignified, with over six decades of stories etched into its weathered facade. It’s the kind of monument that doesn’t try to impress—it simply exists, like an old friend standing quietly in the corner of a gathering. 🌿 A Walk Through Layers of Place and Memory Cross the road and the landscape softens into a pocket of tranquility: a mini Japanese park, subtle in scale but rich in serenity. Pebbled paths, manicured shrubs, and gentle whispers of wind weave a soft intermission before you arrive at the dramatic centerpiece—a gigantic steel sculpture, industrial yet poetic. It captures Kampar’s forward motion while still nodding to the mining heritage buried beneath its soil. Just beyond, you’re greeted by bold typography spelling out “KAMPAR”—a signage installation that says it plainly, proudly. Here, tourists pause, pose, and imprint memories with flashes of phone cameras. And rightly so. These pieces together form more than a tourist pitstop—they’re a portrait of identity. 📸 A Place to Reflect, Not Just Visit Kampar’s Old Town invites not just snapshots, but stillness. Every corner offers layered contrasts—a monument of age beside modern steel, tradition flanked by calm design. It’s less about grand spectacle and more about quiet presence.

You described it perfectly: “Refuel like a rocket, no crash theme.” That line alone makes me want to commission a neon sign for their entrance. Here’s how we could shape your experience into a more polished narrative: --- 📍 Location & Atmosphere Tucked into a modest corner lot, Zus Kampar might not boast sprawling space, but what it lacks in size, it compensates with thoughtful aesthetics.
