Day-tripping fun: Perak's charming towns worth visiting

In the wee hours of an unusually dry season, my friends and I were caught off guard by the unexpected sound of rain and thunder. We had planned to embark on a cycling adventure to explore some towns in the south of Ipoh, Perak but the sudden downpour forced us to come up with Plan B. So, we hopped into our cars for a road trip instead.

Our first mission was to indulge in a hearty breakfast in the town of Pusing. We had heard reviews about Loong Foo Kopitiam, renowned for its hot butter coffee. Upon entering the kopitiam, tantalising aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen filled the air. Each cup of coffee came with a melting pat of butter, infusing it with a rich and creamy flavour. It was pure indulgence but perhaps, for some, it is an acquired taste.
