Walking around the lake in Pusing, Ipoh is kind of meditation. It is super peace and calm surrounding here. We sit at the recreation area nearby the lake to enjoy the breeze from the lake and the mountain. This is also a good place to check out some local birds and local botanic plantation. There are huge sweet corn plantation not too far from the lake too. #lake #peace #calm #mytripvlog

Some mountains don't need towering elevations to leave a lasting impression. Mount Hijau is one of them. Nestled in Pusing, Perak, this underrated gem has become a favorite weekend escape for locals looking to reconnect with nature. Standing at 543 meters above sea level, it offers a rewarding summit that can be reached in around 2 hours at a relaxed pace, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned hikers. Although the trail has already been commercialized and is well-established from start to finish, don't underestimate it. There are several steep sections that will definitely get your heart pumping before rewarding you with one of the best panoramic viewpoints in the area. The journey begins through vast oil palm plantations, where the landscape slowly transforms into a peaceful tropical rainforest. Watching the scenery change along the way makes the hike feel even more enjoyable. The true highlight awaits at the summit. With very little obstruction from trees, you'll be treated to a breathtaking 360-degree panorama overlooking the majestic Perak River, the rugged Bubu Range, and the iconic Titiwangsa Range stretching across the horizon. There's also a small trigonometric survey marker, a subtle landmark that quietly marks the mountain's highest point. Overall, Mount Hijau falls into the easy to moderate category, making it suitable for hikers of almost every age and fitness level. It's the perfect destination if you're looking for a short adventure with an incredibly rewarding view. 💡 Hiking Tips · Start your hike early in the morning. The summit has very little shade, and the midday sun can be extremely harsh. · Bring enough drinking water and be prepared for several steep climbs. · The road leading to the trailhead can be confusing, as it passes deep through an oil palm plantation with numerous junctions. It's highly recommended to hike with someone familiar with the route or hire a local guide. · Mount Hijau is located within the Keledang Sayong Forest Reserve, so remember to obtain the necessary hiking permit from the Forestry Department before your trip. If you're searching for a mountain that's beginner-friendly yet still delivers spectacular scenery, Mount Hijau deserves a place on your hiking list. #hiking #pusing #perak

Some traditions don’t shout — they quietly endure in small towns, kept alive by cooks who’ve spent decades mastering a single wok. At this humble stall, the wok hei is unmistakable. Every plate carries that smoky, fire-kissed aroma — the kind you only get when steel meets roaring heat. You can literally smell the red-hot wok before the dish even hits the table. Almost every diner was ordering their signature Bird’s Nest Noodle, so of course we followed suit — and it did not disappoint. A crisp, golden disc of deep-fried noodles arrives first, crackling with heat. Then comes the moment of magic: a generous pour of thick, silky egg gravy that slowly seeps into the crunchy strands. The edges soften, the center stays lightly crisp, and every bite becomes a perfect balance of texture — fragrant, rich, and deeply satisfying. Give it a minute to soak, and the sauce penetrates right to the core, transforming the noodle into a savory, umami-packed delight. And the best part? Less than RM10 per plate. Old-school skill. Honest flavors. Prices from another era.
