KK in Perak

Whereas KK in Sabah is Kota Kinabalu, in the Peninsular it stands for Kuala Kangsar, the royal town of Perak. It is a nice town, easy to drive around, and everything seems to be within reach. Everything reasonable that is; food, rest area, place of attractions, etc. Direction to the KK Swimming Pool is generously placed at various part of the town. The Masjid Ubudiah, just next to the Istana, is within walking distance, by Western standard, but only a short drive away, by the local standard, from the riverside food stalls. Perhaps the high humidity here in Malaysia makes the local populace prefer the comfort of an air conditioned car to walking even a short distance to move around.
Not very far from the the town center is Kampong Sayong, well-known for Labu Sayong - a specialty pottery. Access to the area is by a narrow and winding asphalt road. It may seem isolated, but once inside the atmosphere of a traditional village is obvious. The pottery is synonymous to the village, it is quite unique in design. In fact several pieces of Labu Sayong are also used as landscape components for the Sultan Azlan Shah Gallery.
