Pasar Loken, Ipoh

Ipoh mali..........Chelle check this out!!

Amid all the preparations for my brother's wedding, we still had a chance to check out Pasar Loken in Ipoh.

Set out wee hours in the morning on a Sunday, we took a slow drive to Ipoh. I was indeed excited thinking about whether the market was up to its standard selling serious 2nd hand & wicked, old school items that i thought would be great for you Chelle. It was great babe! I suggest that you should go to this place......!


Love the green table & blue plates.
So bright!



We had a little breakfast just to stock up on our tummies. We had roti canai, tosai & mee goreng. Just the way to do it..yeah...& a little poyoness with my pix! ;P



Then there we were.

Pasar Loken, Ipoh
Sunday, 23 May 2010






I started taking photos from the beginning of each stall till the end! I was having so much fun checking out & learning things i've never seen or heard before. It was exciting & really the market i was hoping to see & be at.


This was the very first pencils used on woods back then.





What was also interesting was the people who were around that area. Old & young people looking around but i was more interested listening to the older generations bargaining & buying stuffs in their own dialects. Very cool uncles!


Buying watch ahh uncle?!



Even Moksu, Mama & Ariff borong barang-barang at Pasar Loken!


Moksu posed with the errr gun (dunno real or not)
& old school bicycle locker


Mama asking for the price of a butcher knife & brother with his RM3 KitKat slouchy bag.
What a buy!!





This razor below was amazingly handsome! Made in England, the quality of the razor can be felt with its weight & design. I fell in love with it!


What a real beauty!






What did we buy?



A candle holder, a baby bottle, a pair of golden ashtray (for decor purpose) & teapot for papa!





We ended our freaking hot day in Ipoh with a bowl of taufufah & ice cincau! Yum!! Interesting thing about this soya bean stall was that they offered a few types of taufufah! Mango, emerald, garland chrysanthemum taufufah. Mama took the emerald one & super yum! heheh...tasted very pandan-ish. We had a chat with the owners & apparently, their shop came out on Astro just the day before our visit. There we were slurping & chatting & did i mention it's super cheap? hehe...So, do head down to Kedai Soya Bean Delights for a change of taste of their homemade soya drinks & taufufah. With such hot weather, i'm sure you'll drop by their shop to cool down. =)

On the way home, i saw the pretty bricky ACS Ipoh School. I wish my school was this nice!




Luv Luv!!!
