There's something simply fascinating about a place like Ipoh, once renowned for its cleanliness, earned its way to a city status in 1988, and has become a thriving tourist destination today for peoples near and far. It’s surprising that old school charm, sincere enthusiasm and exuberance for life still exist at, in this case, the central market area of the city.
Pasar Besar Ipoh is almost a sepia-toned image of its once-thriving self, when Super Kinta, the largest single-store supermarket in South-East Asia upon its opening, raked in the former mining town’s society.
