The town most famous local food

📍KUALA LIPIS PAHANG Kuala Lipis, located in Pahang, is known for its traditional Malaysian food that reflects the region’s diverse cultural influences. Here are some of the most famous local dishes you should try if you’re in Kuala Lipis: 1. Ikan Patin Tempoyak: This is a signature dish of Pahang, made with ikan patin (a type of freshwater fish) cooked in a rich, tangy tempoyak (fermented durian) sauce. It has a unique flavor and is often served with rice. 2. Satar: A popular snack in the East Coast, satar is made from fish paste, coconut, and spices, all wrapped in a banana leaf and grilled. It has a savory and aromatic taste, perfect for a quick bite. 3. Nasi Kerabu: Though more commonly associated with Kelantan, Nasi Kerabu is popular in Pahang too. It is a vibrant rice dish, typically served with herbs, vegetables, and grilled fish or chicken, and often topped with crispy fried onions and sambal. 4. Roti Jala: This dish consists of lacy crepes served with curry (often chicken or beef curry). It’s a light yet flavorful dish, perfect for breakfast or lunch. 5. Laksa Pahang: A variant of the more famous Laksa dishes in Malaysia, the Pahang version uses a unique broth made from fish, lemongrass, and tamarind. The noodles are often served with fish, vegetables, and a spicy sambal. 6. Kuih Seri Muka: A well-loved traditional dessert made of glutinous rice topped with a creamy coconut custard layer. It’s both sweet and fragrant, commonly found in local markets. These dishes offer a taste of the local culture and the fresh ingredients of the region, making them a must-try when visiting Kuala Lipis. #newyearnewtrip

The Chinese temple here is very beautiful. It is believed that if couples go to pray and make a wish, tie a red string together to the deity, they will live together until they are old and never be separated. Many couples come to have a simple wedding here. Some couples come to take pre-wedding photos. The food and souvenirs are not expensive. The place is clean and quiet. The inside is also very beautiful. There are many statues and history to pray to. Try to come and pray.
