A Day in Teluk Intan

Teluk Intan is a major town located at south west of Perak State. It is formerly known as Teluk Anson (Anson Bay). The town is surrounded by the Perak River at 3 sides in a U-shaped curve. The town is famous of its leaning clock tower which was built in year 1885.


After visiting the Leaning Clock Tower, we proceed to a traditional restaurant, Teck Kee, which serves nice food, such as “chee cheong fun”, desert & Chinese cuisine. The shop is located at Jalan Raja, with its 2 ends crossing with Jalan Pasar & Jalan Ah Cheong. The shop’s interior is decorated with classical furniture. Among those I like the old photos of Teluk Intan town very much.


We took some time driving around the town. Before leaving, we follow some small signboards & found the famous Tiger Head brand cookies (Sin Joo Heong confectionery). For sure we have to bring back some of these tasty local snack.


Not far from the shop, we reached the river bank of Perak River. The trip ended after taking some photos of the river. It was heavy rain on our way back, especially when reaching Kampung Gajah.
