      As a food lover, I really enjoyed this tour! The char kway kak and goreng pisang had me craving for a road trip already. Taiping’s heritage and food scene are so underrated. Dropped a like and subscribed for more. Sending love from Singapore, thanks for the great content!

      Char kway kak direct translation is fried square cake. The cake is usually just rice cake, some use white radish also called white carrot or lobak putih.
