My brother has been encouraging dad to visit his hometown for the longest time. Dad upped and left the sleepy town of Kampar for East Malaysia in his early twenties, got married and stayed put.
He hasn't seen our Kampar relatives for many years. Anyway, he hadn't been ready until last month when I asked him if he'd like to join the lot of us on a trip to Lost World of Tambun. Us, being my aunt and cousins. When he said yes, I arranged for a short stop there. That's how we ended up savouring Kampar's yummiest food.
The first thing we did when we arrived was quench our thirst with tall ice blended drinks at Pusat Penjaja Kampar aka Medan Selera Kampar (along Jalan Masjid), Stall 25.
We ordered mango and dragonfruit.

"No sugar," added my aunt.
"Cannot, cannot! It won't turn out," argued the fierce lady taking our order. She explained that without it, the drink will not hold as high.
"Okaylah, okaylah. Less sugar!" we convinced her with many smiles. She warmed up to us and was soon cracking a few jokes with our gang.
It was hard to resist snapping a lot of photos for this one. I'd never seen a drink so tall. The ice was melting at a pace we could keep up. Also, all we had to do was quickly eat until the top of the glass and then we could take our time.
The sweetness was perfect and the taste of fresh fruit was there. Our gang gave it a thumbs up!

I read that this place closes in the afternoon so we made sure we were there by 11.30am.

Have you had any drinks as tall as this in Malaysia? Let me know so that I can add it to my growing list of places to eat!
wow i want one too. Really cool and I love the amazing colour and creaminess.
ReplyDeleteI wish someone sold these nearby - great for hot afternoons!
DeleteWow! Really tall. Must eat very fast before they fall apart. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI would go for Dragon fruit blend.
Nice to have your dad visiting his hometown. He still can walk, right? So, good to go back and revisit his home.
Cann. Still can drive too ;) He enjoyed the trip very much!
DeleteYes, we were scooping and scooping the drink. Good thing we didn't order one per person..haha!
Wow, that's very tall...
ReplyDeleteAmazing, rightttt..
Deletethis thing looks so much interesting!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try if i go Kampar
I'm dying to try the rest of the flavours, so I hope it won't be too long that I make a trip there again.
DeleteGosh, I'm not good at drinking such stuff! They melted faster than I can drink! Hahaha! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's why we shared, Shirley. I don't think I can either..lol! ^.^
DeleteI went to Kampar so many times and had not seen this yummy drinks! i must try....
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about how your dad felt. When I lost both my parents within 2 years, I was deeply depressed too but overcame it faster by going overseas.
I can imagine your sorrow, TM. It is not an easy thing for us who have lost our loved ones. I try not to talk too much about it and carry the good times in memory.
DeleteYes, yes, you must try this drink one day! Remember to share a glass unless you're sure you can beat the speed it melts ..lol.
