古早味 之 Bidor








Bidor ( 美罗 ) is a small town in Batang Padang district of Perak. Due to its location between Ipoh-Kuala Lumpur via the North-South Highway, its a popular spot for travellers to stop by for a snack of local delicacies.






Pun Chun 品珍 is famous for its duck-mee ( 鸭腿面 ). RM6.00/bowl ( if not mistaken ), its best to have it in the morning...
The restaurant also famed for its freshly deep-fried芋角, 老婆饼, 萨骑马,鸡仔饼, and other local produces.




Once a tin-mining settlement, today's Bidor is famous with its agricultural procucts too. Fruit stalls can be seen along the road leading to town and in the town itself... selling durians ( Durio zibenithus ) , manggos ( Mangifera indica ), pamelos ( Citrus maxima ), guavas ( Psidium guajava ), jambu air ( Syzygium samarangense) etc.
Petai ( Parkia speciosa )too can be found abundantly. With some luck, other exotic fruits also can be found.
