In the wee hours of Saturday night, I was forced by my mum to drive allll theee waaayyy uppp to Alor Setar just to pay a visit to my grandma who is staying alone at the moment as my grandpa is down here in KL ..
I never like going back to mom's hometown .. Firstly, the weather is always HOT up there .. Secondly, there's nothing much in the town of Alor Setar .. But for the sake of my mum .. I finally went .. Started the journey at 2 a.m. to avoid the hot sun and the traffic ..
Finally, we reached Alor Setar at 8 a.m. and straight we went to the famous Md Ibrahim's Nasi Kandar at Kim Bee Chew Kopitiam at Jalan Tunku Ibrahim for BREAKFAST!! A heavy breakfast indeed .. I highly recommend this place .. Many people will come here to eat or tapau for breakfast ..

Old style kopitiam

People queuing up
Taadaahhh .. This is what we ordered for breakfast .. Not lunch ya .. Looks appetizing right?? Its so Yummy especially the chicken and the curry sauce .. Okay okay .. I can see slivers dripping out from your mouth .. No use drooling at all these food .. Wanna eat it?? Drive yourself all the way up to AS then .. Warning: 4 hours journey from KL without stop!

Hot milk tea Alor Setar style

After finishing our very heavy meal .. Straight we went to see my grandma ..
Then after that, went jalan-jalan .. My mum's idea .. Not mine .. Cause' I know there's nothing much to see in Alor Setar ..

The mosque that I always see every year

The Kedah tower that I always see every year

The vast evergreen paddy fields that I see every year
But .. my mum brought me to a place I have never been before in Alor Setar .. The Paddy Musuem located at Ayer Itam ..

Sorry guys .. Don't mind the rubbish bin and public toilet sign .. I was in a rush to fast fast take the welcome sign as it was so HOT under the glaring afternoon sun .. Beh tahan ..

I thought it will be something interesting .. But to my disappointment .. Nothing much to be seen inside .. There's one section that says "Puncak Gunung Keriang" .. Immediately I thought I could see the view of Gunung Keriang which is situated right opposite of the museum .. Paid a freakin' RM3 per person just to go see the view .. Reached the top .. Mana tau .. Instead of the view of the REAL Gunung Keriang .. I just saw a fake view of Gunung Keriang .. Pissed off!! But honestly .. The paintings looked real and natural .. But nothing much to offer .. Disappointed!
Still have time to pose with my brother in front of a statue of a kerbau pulling a man ..
The real Gunung Keriang ..
After the disappointing Paddy Museum visit .. Its time to eat again .. This time we went to eat the famous Char Kuey Teow .. You think only Penang is famous for Char Kuey Teow mehh .. Alor Setar also got one ahh .. But there's more to this one .. Its fried not using gas but .. with Charcoal!! Frying using charcoal will make the taste of the Char Kuey Teow .. Wahhh .. Dunno how to describe it .. Yummy!! Even the Penang Char Kuey Teow lose to this one ahh!!
Finally, we decided to leave for KL at 4 p.m. after we found out that there's nothing much for us to explore .. It was freakin' jammed all the way from Juru to Ipoh .. Heavy traffic ..
So decided to stopped by Ipoh to eat no other than the famous .. Ipoh Beans Sprout Chicken Rice .. Si beh tulan .. Got Chinese and Malay but .. NO ENGLISH!! How ang mohs going to read???? Its one of the tourist destination in Ipoh mind you .. Lucky I can read Malay if not .. Chinese I don't understand .. I'm a BANANA :D

It was only 8 p.m. but the crowd was huge and there's no place for us to sit .. Hungry and tulan .. Why? Cause' I was so hungry .. There's no place to sit .. Standing there like a fool .. Watching people sinking their teeth into those yummy delicious chicken and licking it all the way .. How not to tulan??

But in the end .. I myself finally get to sink my teeth into those yummy delicious chicken and happily licking it all the way .. Laugh out loud ..

For a meal of 1 whole chicken, a plate of big fat crispy beans sprout, 8 bowls of rice and drinks .. We only paid RM 55.90 .. Freakin' cheap!! And I still feel full up until now ..
