Curry Chicken Bread, Yau Kee Kampar

This restaurant is famous for the Curry Chicken Bread as well as other dishes. It is located at the town centre along Jalan Idris. The owner was inspired by the Beggar’s Bread from Hong Kong to come out with the idea of stuffed curry bread in 1986. This is the first time I tried curry chicken bread, and I love it. It is delicious and will make you eat non-stop, the curry chicken is baked inside the soft fluffy bread, very aromatic. If you are not able to take spicy food, settle for the equally tasty herbal chicken bread. This restaurant also serves the typical Chinese dishes. Food is nice and reasonably priced. Occasionally there are tour groups that come here to enjoy this specialty during lunch and dinner time. Address: 55 & 57, Jalan Idris, Kampung Masjid, 31900 Kampar Ambiance/Facilities: 7/10 Highlights: Curry Chicken Bread Rating: 4/5 #musteat

Gua Tempurung

Great experience for a newbie cave explorer. There are 2 tours offered - dry tour and wet tour. Both tours is divided to two more options - one is longer route than the other. You will be guided throughout the tours and can listen to so many facts explained by the guide. It would be much more interesting if you come in a group. We tried the dry tour (the longer route) since we did not bring any extra clothes. Took us around 40 minutes to the end of the tour back and forth to the cave entrance. There were thousands steps make sure you are fit enough to enjoy the walk. Next time for sure will try the wet tour it looks so much fun!

rental available!

For those seeking a leisurely experience, the Dry Tour covers well-lit walkways and viewing platforms, making it ideal for families.
