Mydin Mall Meru Raya Day Out : Of missed buses at Amanjaya Terminal Ipoh

Mydin Wholesale Hypermart Meru Raya Ipoh

Mydin Mall was the place we hanged out at when we missed our bus at the nearby Amanjaya Terminal during our Ipoh trip. If you have read our post on the “Top 10 things to eat in Ipoh Malaysia“, you would have read that we actually booked for a bus that did not appear on the day of departure!

Hence, we decided to wait for 8 hours at Mydin Mall before the next departure to Singapore in the evening. So this post covers the things to do in Mydin Mall or more specifically the Mydin Wholesale Hypermart (Pasar Raya Besar) @ Meru Raya (PT 229142, Jalan Meru Bestari B2, Bandar Meru Raya, 30020 Jelapang, Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan)

After reaching the mall, we started with bowling where Tom won the first game with a score of 122 to 57! Yay!

My Kara Family Karaoke

And English songs such as Nobody Wants To Be Lonely - Notice the younger looking Ricky Martin — And English songs such as Nobody Wants To Be Lonely – Notice the younger looking Ricky Martin

In fact, it was quite worth it in Singapore standards to sing at My Kara as it was only 46RM for 2 hours, inclusive of drinks. That translates to only $10 per person. Plus, the system was really up to date and state of the art. It was relatively easy to find the songs that we wanted to sing.

What we ate at Mydin Wholesale Hypermart Meru Raya Ipoh

There’s a food court named Rasa Village where we had the following

We also visited Mr Cendol with its appealing entrance…

What we really loved about the Soya Special was that the ice was shaved soya ice! Coupled with the ice cream and gula melaka, the cendol was rich, sweet and delicious!

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the Lost World Hot Springs and Spa. For us, the entrance to the Hot Springs and massage at Crystal Spa was sufficient. By the way, if you purchase any spa package, entrance would be free. Something that we only realised later 🙁

Also, for an easy access to the hot springs, you may also choose to stay at the Lost World Hotel, next to the Lost World Hot Springs and Spa.

Do tell us your experience at Lost World Hot Springs and Spa or if you have visited Lost World of Tambun, do tell us about it as well!
