Bose Junk Shop - Subang New Village

Bose Junk Shop located in Subang New Village at Jalan Taman Subang Jasa 3 GPS : 3.143864, 101.539177 very near to the Subang Airport perimeter fence on the northern part of the runway.

Memory Lane - Ipoh

This is a classic, located on Horley Street Ipoh, GPS : 4.597642, 101.082628. This place was move several times until it is at this place now. In the early 70's I frequent belakang loken till late 80's.. most people from Ipoh call it "Belakang Loken" the name derived from it's being at the back alley of Lam Looking Bazaar and yes! the building actually named as Lam Looking Bazaar as it was embossed on the wall and upstairs is the Perak emporium department store.


Late 80's or early 90's they move the vendors to People's Park (Taman Persisiran Ipoh or Ipoh Riverfront) this probably in line with Ipoh getting it city status in 1988. What a shame. it was a lively back alley, with medicine pedlar, tools seller and old junk sales abound.

Jam Loken - Making of A Watch Repair Enthusiast Blog

Singgah le Macam-macam ada

This blog got its name from the famous Ipoh flea market that was located behind the Lam Looking Bazaar which is the Perak Emporium building in the heart of Ipoh City.

I'm keen on visiting these flea markets looking for anything unique and simple, item that may not be useful to anyone but has unique value that can't be describe. This blog post is about those flea market or pasar karat to us here in Malaysia, their uniqueness and specialty.


Enjoy your stay.
