#100waysoftravel The Leaning Clock Tower of Teluk Intan also known as the Menara Condong Teluk Intan is one of the main attractions of Teluk Intan... This tower was built by a Chinese architect Mr Leong Choon Cheong and it was then a reservoir to supply water to the residents and also a clock tower.... The tower however no longer holds water but the clock still functions and chimes every 15 minutes... This clock tower is situated between the intersection of the square plaza which is Jalan Pasar and Jalan Ah Cheong with Jalan Selat and Jalan Bandar on left and right side of tower. #telukintan #leaningtower

#summervacay Liew Kee (Ah Lek) Chee Cheong Fun – Teluk Intan’s Legendary Rice Noodle Roll If you ever find yourself in Teluk Intan, Perak, one dish you absolutely must try is the famous Chee Cheong Fun from Liew Kee (Ah Lek)—a culinary institution that has captivated locals and foodies from across Malaysia for generations. What Makes It So Special? Unique Style: Unlike the usual versions served with sauces, Liew Kee’s Chee Cheong Fun is dry-style, filled with savory minced turnip and dried shrimp, then rolled into perfection. The umami from the shrimp and the sweetness of the radish blend beautifully, offering a truly distinct flavor profile.

#summervacay Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan – A Malaysian Marvel with a Tilt The Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan, also known as Menara Condong Teluk Intan, is one of Malaysia’s most unique historical landmarks. Located in the town of Teluk Intan in Perak, this striking pagoda-like structure stands proudly as the town’s iconic symbol and is often dubbed "Malaysia’s own Leaning Tower of Pisa." Built in 1885 by a Chinese contractor named Leong Choon Chong, the tower was originally used as a water tank to supply the town during dry seasons and to provide water in case of fire. The clock tower was also used to keep time for the local community. Standing at 25.5 meters (84 feet) tall, the tower has eight levels—though from the outside, it appears to have more due to its tiered, Chinese-inspired design. Its tilt is due to the soft ground on one side and the weight of the water tank at the top, giving it its iconic slant. #travel
