Sugar, creme and everything nice!: July 2007

Can't believe the first ever post in this blog would be regarding a cheap haircut... Certainly that reflects how 'cheap' we are in person, or not! :) Anyway, Saucer wanted to get a haircut for quite some time and according to my brother, there is quite a good barber who charges merely RM4 for a reasonably nice hair cut! Now, is that cheap, or is that cheap! Now, this barber is located somewhere in Kampar, Perak, which is my hometown. Yay! It so happened that Saucer and I are back in Kampar for the weekend, so we decided to hunt this place down in the morning.

Before that, Saucer, as usual, would not miss his dose of 'yin yeong' or 'cham' ice, which is actually Kampar's rendition of 'teh' plus 'kopi'. His favourite stall is located in one of the junctions off Jalan Idris. I don't remember the road name but took this photo.

I also took the packet of drink that he bought. Cost=RM1.40, but size is huge! He could not even finish the whole packet himself... Goes to show that Kampar food is CHEAP! :)

OK, back to our hunt. So we went to this housing area called Bandar Baru and started looking for the 'purple gate house' that my brother labeled... and found it! Well, we were straining our necks to make sure we were at the right place. Sure, there will be no signboards or whatever to show that this is indeed an operating business, since this is a private business. But, there should still be indication of whether it is open or not, right? So there we were, straining our necks and squinting our eyes looking for the slightest indication... and then we spotted it! Can you?
