Famous food in my Hometown

Teluk Intan might be small, but when it comes to food it is as good as the one's that you can find in Kuala Lumpur, or maybe better than that. 

                                    LIEW KEE Chee Cheong Fun 

What food that Teluk Intan is most famous for is the Chee Cheong Fun! 

There are usually a very long queue during weekends and during festive seasons especially Chinese New Year.

HAWAII

Yes, in Teluk Intan we have a small food stall named Hawaii which is located near to SMK Convent school which sells the best 'Ais Kacang' and the most popular one is the Coco Crunch as shown in the picture. 

NASI KANDAR KRISHNAN

There are a few mamaks that are very popular for their nasi kandar and the best thing about it is the price never exceeds RM 8.00. 

SATAY 

Satays might taste the same but not that one stall in Qing Shui Wan. That stall will be loaded with people especially at night. 

KEDAI KIPITIAM AH WAH 

Kedai kopitiam Ah Wah is located in Sungai Nibong where it sells mostly known noodles like Curry mee, 'Mee rebus', soup noodles and etc. If you happen to go there, you must try out the curry mee and mee rebus. 

COLISEUM, MAK CIK KIAH LAKSA

The soup of the laksa here is light, diluted, simple, yet surprisingly addictive thanks to the tasty addition of sour tamarind. A good choice for those eating between meals.

ROJAK AH CHAI 

Ah Chai also serves the best rojak in Teluk Intan and it gets many good feedbacks from the tourists. 

HEONG PEAH 

Aside from all those heavy food, Teluk Intan is also well-known for their Heong Peah. It does not only attracts many tourists but also the local ones. It is best when it is eaten fresh from the oven and that is actually available is you request for it.

Places of interest in my Hometown

MY HOMETOWN (Places of Attraction)

This is the airplane view of my hometown.

I live in Teluk Intan, Perak. A small and almost unknowable town in Perak. Most people I've met have not really heard of it.

 Even though it is barely noticeable, there are a few places of attractions that tourists come to Teluk Intan for.

What Teluk Intan is most famous for is it's Leaning Clock Tower that is situated in the heart of the town. 

 LEANING CLOCK TOWER

The Leaning Clock Tower has been what Teluk Intan is most famous for. You can see buses stopping by to bring tourists to visit the Leaning Clock Tower, especially during weekends.












And yes, we have a Leaning Tower too, just like the Pisa in Italy. 






WAR MEMORIAL STONE

This huge stone is situated in the center of the traffic island.
The plinth is inscribed "At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them" 
This big stone can barely be unnoticed since everyday drivers will pass by this area.




FORMER COURT HOUSE

The former Court House building and is built in 1880 and is used as a court until 1983. On Sundays, the building doubled up as a church until St. Luke was built in 1911.
Now, the building has been taken over by the Army.





ST. LUKE THE EVANGELIST

This is the church that has been built to replace the former Court House.St. Luke the Evangelist is an Anglican church made holy in 1912. At that time, it was described as 'a very graceful structure and the interior is nicely through plainly furnished'. 

RAJA MUDA'S PALACE

This is the ruins of Raja Muda's Palace which is in the middle of 3 schools surrounding it.
It is believed by many that this is haunted.





HOCK SOON TEMPLE 

                                                           
Not only we have a few historical churches but we also have a few heritage temples. This Hock Soon temple was built by the Hokkien community in the 1883. This temple has been one of the most often visited temple because of its uniqueness and the beautifully decorated decorations surrounding the temple.
Because of this, many events like Classical Chinese opera are often held in this temple.




FORMER POLICE STATION

The former police station is one of the oldest buildings in the town. Now, a new police station has been built up and the old one looks abandoned and isolated but is in danger of being demolished.




NAGARATHAR THENDAYUTHAPANI TEMPLE

The Nagarathar Thendayuthapani temple which was built by the Chettiar community in 1899. It always holds some important Indian festivals.





TELUK ANSON CHINESE CLUB

This can also be considered as one of heritage building in Teluk Intan because the building still bears the old name of the town.

My secondary school

                       

                            MY SECONDARY SCHOOL 🏫

                                                SMK CONVENT, TELUK INTAN

My secondary life has been the best thing that happened in my life. And here are a few reasons why 😍✨

    One of the many class pictures we had... Class of 5 Cerdas 2017. This was taken under burning hot sun but it was all worth it because everyone attended for the photo shoot.  





The last year of my secondary school has been my favourite year in my school life. I am beyond grateful to have such good classmates to help me get through hard times throughout the whole year.



Not only because i have excellent and brilliant friends that painted my life so colorfully but also i have the best teachers in my school, not forgetting the mother of the students, my principal. Words cannot describe how grateful i am to have teachers that are always there for me in every situation. 

One of the most exciting part about school is the RIMUP program because we are allowed to dressed up for the event. We are all dressed in various types of outfits that symbolizes different culture's fashion and style. 





The subject which I love the most has to be English.  Puan Fauziah is my English teacher and is the best English teacher anyone can ask for. She has never made our English classes boring as many would say Language classes are the most boring class in school. She would tell random jokes that are irrelevant to the topics we are actually studying. We are always very excited for her class because she would tell us new jokes everyday. 

The only thing I dislike about my school has to be the super small field that can only fit not more than 100 students. This has become a huge issue when it comes to sport's day and we will have to book  for a bigger field for Sport's day. And during our Sport's Day, we would march from our school all the way to the field and that would cause a serious traffic in the morning.   

The second entrance to SMK Convent, Teluk Intan. This is the entrance for only students to walk in to school and the first entrance is only for teachers. A few teachers will be waiting for the students early in the morning to bid the students good morning and a warm handshake.

I had lots of fun in my secondary school life when I am with my friends. They have taught me how to not give up during the time that I'm about to break down and just give everything up. They are always there for me when i needed a shoulder to lean on. They're there for me when I'm in doubt. They're always there whenever I'm happy or not. We are able to give and accept different opinions from different aspects without getting into a quarrel or a fight before. These has to be the reasons why I loved school.
