A nice cottage- Cool setting in rural Slim River This 'town' acted as a supply deport for a huge mining company years ago. There is also the rail stop serving those who are stopping here! |
| The main
street of Slim River [the town] , a sight that outsider
will not see.
The Main trunk road bypasses this Main Street in a "T" junction!
|
 |
|
From that junction, the road after a slight bend, goes straight through the commercial area and reaches the railway station on the other end. Local residents have built their homes behind this main street and another short side street. Shops in town supply essential items! The Resthouse Slim River is the district administrative town. Somehow being the only accommodation in the region, the Rest House gets to be more renounced than the town itself. Before the current trunk road was straightened, traffic passed through Slim River town to continue on a winding road that meanders along with the "Slim River" to Slim Village! The Rest House is located at the start of this winding stretch to Slim Village that leads beyond to Tanjong Malim! |

This Rest
House is a building with a spacious lawn.
The land is on high ground among other governmental offices, such as the police barrack and vocational training school. |
The building is in the shape of a double "L" with center block acting as dinning cum conference room!
| This is
the view of the interior of this center block. From the picture and the one shown above, it can be seen that the contractor for this Rest House has kept the establishment in very shape. |
 |
 |
With ample space available, at one corner of the compound, there is even a garage for sheltered parking! |
 |
The Famous Bidor noodles Bidor is another intersection town between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh or Teluk Intan. Travelers stop here for a rest before changing their traveling direction. Pun Chun is the Chinese Restaurant that had acted a anchor for the town for many years and still is! |
|
They started and made their fortune by serving very tasty "wanton" noodles. Fresh water prawns were available in abundance in this town those days! Today, they provided good services as a highway resting point, a place where one can take home some souvenirs!. Over the years, enterprising farmers had made the locally grown Guava another niche! |
| Fruit stalls lined the side streets in town and along the way at its outskirt! |
 |
 |
Here are an assortment of fruits - cloned, propagated and grown to meet with customers expectations |
It is an interesting place to see the people passing by- that is if you are not in a hurry.
