September 5, 2012 By Abel Cheng

As for Ipoh, we hunted for food more than doing things or sightseeing.

Drying Chinese Sausage

The only thing that is educational is our visit to a Chinese sausage (lap cheong) factory.

This is not a tourist spot. Through a friend (whom his father is the owner of the factory), we made private arrangement for the visit.
