The Peace Hotel

where are the pigeons? there's usually a flock where the loan pigeon seen is. did you check if there's a stall inside offering double-boiled pigeon?

also, you should have visited the bazaar next door -- you can see its roof to the right. it is also an icon of taiping. generations of parents have bought their childrens' school uniforms, shoes and bags there. this applies specially to parents from the outlying kampongs such as batu kurau, semanggol and even as far as bagan seria.

the taiping bus station used to be situated opposite -- right where the malay bazaar and car park now is. and it is only logical for the parents from outstation to just hop over to the bazaar. most of the shops are hand me downs from one generation to the next.

there's also another bazaar on main road

btw the chicken hor fun in peace hotel used to be a favourite among the town folks. wonder if it is still as good. /stephen

There were ladies of pleasure inside. They sure would have been offended if I had called them double-boiled pigeons, haha!
