As you approach small pekan Ayer Tawar ( ha ?) ( along the 23km-stone road to mythical Sitiawan ) during one of your usual breakaways from Big Town Chicken County ( Ipoh ) , your weary eyes might just be deceived by a kind of car-crowd to your right ( especially around 12 something in the day. You mean a Big Restaurant in this jungle ? My, that's simply great !
Being a little hungry and loving things around the bushes ( or trees ) , you make a quick U turn in front then slotted in , with bated breath.
To your great surprise it's a Big Bakery with an aircond cafe in front , like sure...in the middle of nowhere which is what you fancy ! But sorrylah the inside aircond zone with 10 tables was reserved ( for a Big group) and you were politely ushured to the windy hot alfresco outside with loud ronggengny music ( and a better view of the zooming container lorries whizzing by , see or not ?)
Looking around the modern clean setup , it almost seems like one of the usual old town cafes along extended Lahat Road or even Jln Pasir Puteh, what a cute surprise in this tiny kampung in da forest !
And so they came . You were promptly forgiven for saying you very much prefer and already missed the place where you just came from...even if you have to pay triple !
Yeah sure , thats what happens when a modern cafe tries to fuse into the authentic old ambience of a real genuine traditional kampung.
somethings gonna give right . Err the taste ( i mean )

most people care especially about taste , being the first feel after the other first visual impression. Many will pay for the taste , even if it is extra high ( then they will say its extra high taste and worth it )! Some ppl we know paid RM1000 for a night's ( actually 30 minutes ) fun with the lady somewhere in between Shanghai and Suzou
