Off Road ATV at Taiping Park Larut

We had our off road ATV adventure at Park Larut Taiping on 11th December 2022. It was our first time to do off road ATV.

There were 9 of us with 8 years old kid.

My son of 12 years old and my daughter of 13 years old ride their own ATV.

At first the guide will teach us how to ride ATV. After that they will ask us to follow them on simple path to see whether we can handle the ATV for climbing and going down a slope.

If everyone can do it, then they will allow us to ride our own off road ATV. Fortunately my children of 12 and 13 years old pass the test.

The Adventure

They were 9 of us riding the off road ATV. There were 2 guides assisting us in our adventure. They were really helpful in ensuring our safety so no one was injured during the adventure.

It was really scary at first going down the steep slope or climbing up a slope. Sometimes you have to do sharp turn if not you going off to the cliff.

During the adventure, the guide will take your photos and videos and later will share them via telegram with you.

Naina’s Roti Bakar George Town Penang Review

We went to eat at the famous Naina’s Roti Bakar George Town in Penang.

It was a stall at Jalan Transfer.

The Stall

It is just a stall, but when we arrived it smelled sewerage near the stall.

Roti Bakar & Roti Canai

Roti goyang bakar is really delicious but the roti kosong banjir, I found other restaurant roti kosong is much better.

But of course taste is subjective to individual.

The service was fast and waiter was friendly.

Chateraise – Patisserie from Japan in Penang

We bumped into a Japan Patisserie called Chateraise in Penang. It made us remember of our trip to Japan. Japan breads are delicious and nicely decorated or packed.

The Patisserie Shop

Most of the delicious breads on display is actually a fake but it looks really real. After you order, the waiter will take out the bread from a fridge.

The receptionist is responsive and friendly. Really fast delivering our request such as extra towel and cleaning up the room.

They provide water, biscuits, coffee 3 in 1, toothpaste, shower, shampoo etc.

Problem we had with the unit is the TV is having lines on its monitor. The rain got into the main door and not really sound proof you can hear people talking at the walkway.

The floor is tiles floor so your feet get cold.

But as a whole those issues are small matters for us.

Activities

The Hermitage Boutique House is located to lake of Taiping. So there is cycling and boating activities at the lake.

Besides nearby you can visit Taiping Zoo and Botanic Garden.

It also has off road ATV nearby the zoo.

After tired of doing those activities, you can have a good swim at the Hermitage Boutique House swimming pool.

Surrounding Amenities

Plentiful of F&B nearby such as Mcd, KFC, Marry Brown, ZUS coffee, Nasi Kandar Beratur and CU.

GE15 Malaysia Voting Experience

I was excited to go to vote for GE15. My polling station was at SK Stella Maris Tanjung Aru for P173 Putatan.

I thought I wanted to vote early in the morning even though my recommended time by SPR was around 1PM – 3PM. But I changed my mind because there were long queue in the morning. I voted around 12PM.

The voting process was a breeze and took only around 30 minutes. There were less youngster who voted at my polling station. The long queue was for age channel 3 which is my channel.

I guessed the channel was divided by age group.
