19. COME ONE COME ALL...COME AND JOIN THE IPOH INTERNATIONAL WAITERS RACE...

Ipoh has always been associated with sumptuous food and delicacies. There is the famed Ipoh Taugeh, Ipoh Salt Chicken , Ipoh Biscuits, Ipoh Char Kow Teow and Ipoh Hor Fun. There is the much-talked about Ipoh Hainan Chicken Rice and South Indian famous dishes.

Little wonder famous movie stars from Hong Kong and Hollywood frequented Ipoh just to taste the Ipoh delicacies. It is not unusual to bump into Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh and her family at the Pakeeza Restaurant, the famous Indian/Pakistani restaurant serving beautiful and tasty Indian cookings.

Despite all the elegant cooments about the things relating to food, Ipoh has never before been home to any international food event.

 Come 29th June 2013 all this will changed. On that very day, Ipoh and Perak, for the time ever, will play host to Ipoh International Waiters' Race jointly organised by Ipoh City Council, Perak Tourist Association, Malaysian Association of Hotels( Perak Chapter) and International Waiters' Race Agency at the D.R. Seenivasagam Park.

There are lots of activities planned during the event. Dato' Lat, the famous cartoonist hailed from Perak, has sketched a nice caricature to capture the potential excitement of the coming event.

Demonstrations of ice-carving, flower-arranging, food-carving and a barista competition in coffee decoration will be held, along with a mini-treasure hunt, children’s race, parade of Perak school bands, and cheerleader demonstration for younger participants.

Over one hundred waiters and waitresses from Perak’s favourite eateries will be running the 1 ½ kilometer course through the park in three different races.

Visiting participants will be included from Ipoh’s sister city in Japan, Fukuoka, and Ipoh’s “friendship cities” Medan, Pusan, Hangzhou and Guangzhou.

Organizers hope to make this an annual event, celebrating Ipoh’s waiters, waitresses and culinary heritage for locals and tourists alike.

Participants and visitors are most welcome to stay at Syabas Homes facilities. In conjunction with the event, we are offering a 10% discount off the official rates for all our facilities in Ipoh.

18. THEY JUST KEPT COMING...WE'RE SO GRATEFUL

The last two weeks were very hectic. The guests just kept coming and coming. The bookings were filled to the brim. Many late requests for accommodation at Syabas Homes especially the Tambun facility had to be politely turn down due to earlier bookings. We are thankful for the tremendous support.

Many guests came to Ipoh bringing their families for holidays taking advantage of the school semester break. Guests came from Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu. We even had guests coming as far away as from Johor Bahru.  

Besides coming for holidays in Ipoh, some guests booked the accommodations to attend seminars, courses, symposium, visiting relatives and attending weddings.

We also received many positive comments and views on further improvements to our facilities. We are very grateful to our guests for taking time to pen down their observations which we will definitely deliberate further.

Due the tremendous support, two of our facilities listing on the premier short rental portal @ www. ibilik.my had shoot up to the first page. In fact Syabas Homes @The Lost World of Tambun has now occupies the 1st place among 143 homestays listed in Ipoh, Syabas Homes@ Silibin occupies the 7th place and Syabas Homes@ Meru Hills filling up the 15th slot.

In fact our Syabas Homes@ The Lost World of Tambun facility has shot up to be no. 1 among 253 homestays in Perak while Silibin occupies the 11th place and Meru Hills is on the 24th spot.

Quite an achievement considering we listed the Tambun facility on 13 February 2013, just about 4 months ago.

Well, maybe it is time to seriously plan for another facility near The Lost world of Tambun, Ipoh... 

God Willing...A BIGGER AND BETTER SYABAS HOMES@ THE LOST WORLD OF

TAMBUN IS ON THE WAY.

Thank you All...
