Kuala Kangsar

 The Royal town


This is the royal town. With all the hypes, there must be a very nice Rest House in this town.

True. The Rest House was prominently perching on a low hill over looking the esplanade. the setting was nice and the ambience too was nice. I was looking forward to stay here. The place was formally operated my friend's family for many many years. I had never stayed there. This would be the chance for me to bring back old days, as well as trying out a place with historical background.

It clustered among the other statutory buildings, such as the library and school.

All these building stands in a beautifully manicured district. The Rest House complex had 3 buildings. New wings had since been added. This is seen as the structure with new roof. A low annex is the detached building on the right. Then on the utmost right , would be the old and original building of the rest house.

Visitors can never miss finding the place. This is a small town. Across the river and upon arrival.

Location of the rest house can be confirmed by the sighting of its large signage.

Right facing the approaching road from town.

Couple of very good views from the compound of the Rest House .

First from the patio, a prefect miniature garden.

Then, there we had, a complete with the view of the Perak River as background

Then the indoor garden that was also tastefully designed.

It filled with and finished off with potted plants and flowering bougainvilleas.

Catering for the small crowd that patronize this place, a dinning hall.

That was elegant. Even though the dinner hall that doubled up as a place for drinks and food..

This place was indeed a hideaway with an ambience of a small resort.

The operator had just taken over the management of this complex a couple of years ago. The previous operator now had his own restaurant in town. They served good food previously in the Rest House!
