Welcome back to our third installment of Travel Safe and Save with PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 XTRA where we set foot on some interesting destinations in the humble city of Ipoh.
This time around, Julie Woon heads to the capital of Perak with the Hyundai i10 and checks out a 73-year old tin dredge ship in Tanjung Tualang as well as explores Gua Tambun where she finds ancient wall drawings!
Julie also tries out the famous, mouth watering Nasi Ganja on Jalan Yang Kalsom before making a stop at the Perak Tong which houses over 40 Buddha statues.
Watch the episode to explore Ipoh with Julie and don’t forget to take part in the TSSPP95X contest to put yourself in the running to win a Garmin Nuvi 1250 GPS. You can also watch our previous episodes here.

This tin dredge ship was built in 1938 by consulting engineering firm F.W. Payne and Co. The ship was located in Teja, Gopeng and was in service for 44 years before its operations ceased. The ship was then moved to its present location in 1982 and is now open to public. Codenamed the T.T. No. 5, it went through an RM100,000 facelift.

This historic cave features wall drawings that are approximately 3,000 years old. The Hematite art work are made up by drawings of a deer, a dugong as well as a human figure. There are also sketches of an octopus and a fish. History has it that the drawings were found by a soldier named R.L. Rawlings in 1959.

The Nasi Kandar Ayam Merah stall is famously known to offer Nasi Ganja in the Yong Suan Coffee Shop on Jalan Yang Kalsom and it has been in existence since 1956. The reason why they call it Nasi Ganja? Well that’s because people simply come back for more!

The Perak Tong Cave Temple was built in 1926 by a Buddhist priest from China and it houses over 40 Buddha statues. The temple is also made up by a total of 385 steps and there are gorgeous stalagmite and stalactite formations.

Heyyy… Julie, shorts laa…. tiny ones.
this amoi very cute la…
Ermm.. she is wearing Harvinder’s shirt again, get a proper girl’s shirt for her la Mr. producer. Didn’t I say she was hot? thought I did.. :)
haha….dugong shape drawing!!
I heard that nasi ganja is good but I never try it. No chance yet. By the way, how many episode of Travel Safe and Save with PETRONAS PRIMAX 95 XTRA ?
10 episodes in total, 7 more to go :)
biler nak tayang driven 2? :((
Nasi Ganja or Nasi Wanggey like we always call it…
The program is called travel safe and save…Sooooo, Julie has to wear not so sexy clothes to be safe. Wakakakaka….oh, also must save money, so share the same t-shirt. Lol.
lol – this literally is an editorial on the series which verges on softcore porn.
Maybe about 10min drive from from jln yg kalsom to perak tong at tasek?? Police help them buka jalan izzit???
seriously. other than looking at hot julie… do we need this weekly update on this programme here? coz it looks like more of a travelogue than a driving/auto magazine programme.
free content… also complain? weird malaysians
Youtube image there…muka stim
BTW Harvinder, did you go upstairs of the restaurant Yong Suan?
Sarawak mali, RM35.
seriously lousy photography ter…..
Ooo, Julie’s a crackberrian!! Can I has bbm pin?
Say, how many mileage that Hyundai’s done? 11.11km/L is a little bit… low :(
do you even own a car?
this is normal for petrol car… don’t be unrealistic
bring on diesel subcompacts
I kinda expect that Hyundai can do similar fc as a Kelisa, which should easily do >13km/L
I drive a 2002 Waja 4G18 auto, even that car can still give me 11.12km/L last I filled up with typical very heavy Subang Jaya traffic condition, aircond on 100%.
The name of the show is even “travel safe and SAVE with petronas blabla”, special emphasis on SAVE.
But 3 episodes and none have managed even 12km/L. sigh
Hi tokmoh, the fuel consumption of 9 liters per 100 km includes heavy traffic in Ipoh and with load as well.
Guys, this is not a hypermiling or fuel efficiency contest.
The numbers are not “combined fuel consumption” based on going to office and back everyday.
We aimed to show you guys real results based on the real traffic conditions of the trip, which most of the time were heavy, and you have to remember that the car is carrying a full load including 1 cameraman, 1 soundman, harvinder, julie, equipment, bags, etc, it’s not just julie and harve in the car as you see in the video.
We can easily modify the numbers to make both the fuel and car look extraordinary good, but we didn’t.
my 1.3 gets me 400km with rm60 worth of ron95 with 1 bar left before warning from last saturday/sunday’s melaka trip
full load, 4 people including luggage, highway + melaka traffic + seremban/nilai NSE jam @ sunday 5pm
total i think i should be able to get 425-450km/33.33l = 12.75km/l
my car is not known as a fuel saver unlike the i10 and i wasnt trying to save fuel in this trip too but the numbers are still better than 11.11km/l
something must be wrong somewhere, gotta be the drivers haha
Dunno la, certain angles shes ok ok oni laa ….
Must be the make up la …. its all lies :)
Julie Hoi…
How do you manage to get into Gua Tambun, the entrance area had been gated by a Dato’ for his private Polo Ground. And he got huge guard dogs….
