Wah welcome to BM seem like u had a great time
You totally missed out on Tua Pek Tong temple, Bukit Mertajam’s oldest temple! Most of the famous eateries are found in the area, including yam rice 😂
You should check out the yam rice there – it's one of the best, and also the ruins of the sacred hear church nearby.
In Taiping, do check out st louis church, Ipoh's st micheal church (oldest in perak from 1890), sacred heart church in kampar, st joseph batu gajah, st anthony teluk intan – they all have long ww2 history and are connected with Sybil Kagithasu.
Very good travel Vlog, you really introduce some amazing places in Malaysia that I have never heard of or seen before…31:19
