Malaysia, a hodge-podge of different races and cultures, has as diverse a choice of food as you can find in any country around the world. And within it are some choice delectable eating spots that will whet your appetite and have you going at helping after helping.

One such place is Taiping, formerly a mining town, now more of a retirement village. Cloistered, quiet and peaceful, with just two department stores, the main pastime of choice is relaxing by the Lake Gardens or visiting the Zoo, enjoying the view and fresh air. Here, we try to introduce some choice eats within Taiping, Malaysia.

Morning start early here. Kum Loong Restaurant is opened by 5.30 am daily and serves fragrant, delectable dim sum. Go early, for everything will be gone by 9.00 am. Try the siew mai which is served freshly steamed, tender and fragrant. The har gow, chicken feet and dai bao also come highly recommended for fulfilling breakfast.

Every sunday morning, the townfolk will descend on Restaurant Kanak, known for their horfun, which comes served in a clear chicken broth, shredded chicken and bean sprouts.

Need a mid afternoon snack ? Try the famous Indian chendol, which comes with an optional helping of pulut, roasted black rice. Complement it with some Indian rojak for a fattening but satisfying meal.

Getting there

Fly in to Kuala Lumpur, a major air travel hub. From the city, either take a train or a bus to Taiping. Some buses may stop at Kamunting, a 10 minute drive away from Taiping by cab.

There are many small hotels and motels around Taiping, and a number of guesthouses by the scenic Lake Gardens. Most hotels here fall into the three star category, cheap, clean with no frills.

Two of the larger hotels include Legend Inn and Hotel Panoroma, both located centrally and a short walk away from most eating places.
