my father's hometown..


Teluk Intan is my father's hometown. It is a town located in the state of Perak in Malaysia. It is the largest town in Hilir Perak district and third largest town in the state of Perak.

Today, i want share my information about this town. Leaning Tower or 'menara condong' is one of the town attractions in Teluk Intan. It was built in 1885 by a Chinese builder, Mr. Leong Choon Cheong. It started to tilt four years after its construction finished due to an underground stream. The tower had a clock at the top, and still rings every 15 minutes now. The clock tower was originally used as a water tower, supplying water to the town area, while also reporting the time to all townfolks. It had also served as a beacon to guide ships into Teluk Intan Port. Currently it is a local tourist attraction, and no longer stores water. The area around the tower was paved with bricks and became a plaza. The main street at the centre of Teluk Intan is also named after Mr. Leong Choon Cheong to commemorate his contribution.



Another attraction is the 'Batu Tenggek' (Sitting Boulder) which is situated at a junction in the town centre. The rock was believed to be placed by a British soldier. Do you know? Now, that small rock grew bigger from size of a matchbox to size of a boulder.



If you come at Teluk Intan, you must try famous and delicious food at there like the boiled noodle served with a gravy and the food have spicy and sweet called 'Mee Rebus'. The most famous made from Mastan Ghani(The name of restaurant). .
You also must try eat the famous satay at Teluk Intan is called Satay Ngah Teni. It is located in a food court (Local called it "Bumbung Biru")in front the Leaning Tower.Besides that,the local Chinese community also has many famous delicacies as well. One of them is 'Heong Peah' or Fragrant Biscuit in English. 'Heong Peah' has a crispy layer outside and contain a mixture of flour, oil, maltose, sugar, sesame, and shallots.
