After a afternoon tea gathering with some ladies, we took a 18 mins leisurely drive to Wonder Farm Mushroom. It was drizzling when we arrived, the owner Mr Tan’s son named Khang led us into the waiting room. This room is set up with all types of packed mushrooms on display shelves for sale complete with a seating area where Khang gave briefing on the history of Wonderfarm Mushroom. Next he took us on a detailed tour through the factory explaining various components & process in this Plant and environment required for the growth of mushroom followed by the green house to show several type of mushrooms which are cultivated in the farm. This include the Oyster mushroom, Grey Oyster mushroom, Reishi Mushroom (commonly known as Ling Zhi) and TigerMilk Mushroom. Mr Tan and Khang patiently explains and answers all queries pertaining to the growth of every mushroom inside the Greenhouse. As we finished the tour, we were treated to a glass of thirst quenching home made “fungus" drink with detailed description and recipe to make this drink by Khang. Thereafter, we proceeded to choose and purchase our preferred mushrooms on display in the shop. Indeed it was a fun experience & very educational and time well spent at Wonder Farm Sdn Bhd !!

Taiping War Cemetery was created by the Army after the defeat of Japan for the reception of graves brought from the battlefields, from numerous temporary burial grounds, and from village and other civil cemeteries where permanent maintenance would not be possible. There are separate entrances to the two parts, the plots of Christian graves lying on the south-eastern side of the road and the Muslim and Gurkha graves on the opposite side. In the Muslim and Gurkha section the Stone of Remembrance stands in front of a high bank which forms the north-western boundary. The two small shelters in the cemetery have been constructed of local stone, and a low stone wall flanks the road on each side.

A local restaurant owner suggested strongly that we seem out the war cemetery. We are glad we did. It is a simple and moving tribute to the fallen from the Malayan, Indian and British/Australian forces who served in WW2.

A little known history was made known to our whole town in recent months. And, our little airstrip is still a little airstrip but with an important piece of history tagged on it. Amelia Earhart made a refuelling stop in our little airfield on her solo journey around the world. This little airstrip is called Tekah Airport. 7 June 1937 was the day she dropped in in our town called Taiping or more famously The Raintown, Rain tree town. To commemorate her short appearance, a mural was put up on the side of the building at the junction of Jalan Taming Sari and Jalan Abdul Jalil. You could enjoy this piece of art from across the road with no obstruction.
