Lodging Mak Minah

If you are a fan of P.Ramlee's movie, you may have come across with 'Mak Minah Lodging'. It is a real surprise to find exactly one, in Ipoh.

I have not been to every nooks and cranny of Ipoh. Not in my teenager years and not in my college days. Not until a few recent years where I got to drive on my own and went around exploring it on my own, that is during the broad daylight; 'curfew' still applies come night.

Anyway, was driving around Ipoh old town and was trying to get myself 'lost of my way' just to explore its architecture. Spotted lots of beautiful old colonial building of gorgeous architecture, and some as unique as this row. I wish I could learn more about this building, the history behind it. Just sharing away with you, till the day I find more information about it.

Eclectic architecture

This particular corner unit shops at the junction of Jalan Pasir Puteh, gives such attraction via the collection of its balustrades which comes in various style, even its architecture style is an eclectic mix. I believe it could be derived from various stages of renovations or from the preference of its multiple owners. Only in Ipoh..

Colonial bungalows of Ipoh

Ipoh has lots of these colonial bungalows. Simply love its architecture. It's overwhelmed by lots of vintage detailings that clearly depict the human anthropology unlike current mass-produced architecture detailings or accessories or what not...

Ipoh's Colonial architecture

Another interesting piece of architecture in Ipoh facing Jalan Laksamana. It deserve a better look-after for such intricate architecture. I hope there'll be a 'strong figure' in Ipoh to start a 'movement' to preserve all these buildings, the way Singaporean did.
