The herbal chicken
Its been a while since we been kayaking anywhere. So, with plans made as early as two months before, we headed to Sungai Perak for a kayaking adventure.On the way there, we decided to stop and try the famous Kampar ‘Chicken in Bread’ at a restaurant called Yau Kee. How did we know which restaurant to go to? We don’t, the GPS did!
Turns out we had two choices. Either go with the curry chicken or the herbal chicken. We thought to be on the safe side, the herbal chicken is the way to go. In less than 2 minutes, smiley aunty got our ‘bread’ and started ‘dressing’ it. In style I would say.

Yummy!
Walaaaa...the herbal chicken is 'contained' inside a paper wrapper INSIDE the bread
Not bad these 'Chicken in Bread' stuff at Kampar, though a bit pricy
Well, the entire dish tasted better than I would imagine but a little bit pricey I suppose. After we had our makan, we continued on our way to Sungai Perak. Halfway, we made a quick toilet break, a good opportunity to take the picture below.

A few hours later, we arrived at our launching place. Somewhat near lenggong area. After checking into our homestay place and all, we got our kayaks down, can’t wait to hit the water.
Meun by our boats...ready for a 'test' drive
All of us went for a ’short’ paddle on day 1. Did not go far, just to get the feel. Jim (our expat friend) too took the opportunity to paddle out his canoe. All in anticipation for day 2, paddling day.
