Hi 7thfort,
Firstly, Kek Look Tong is on the other side of town.
Enkidu may need to get his gps re-calibrated.
However, Ipoh is famous for its Sam Poh Tong, Perak Tong and sampah tongs
I've had friends who stayed at Hotel Station 18 & they're satisfied with it.
Generally, there's quite a bit of good comments about the hotel.
Only thing is that it's not exactly in the center of town, so unless you have a car, getting to other places might be troublesome.
Having said that, the hotel does have a couple of cars (with drivers, I was told) to ferry guests to places of interest - you pay for it of course!
Now for the park.
It's a simple recreational area across a small lake with some playground stuffs, a couple of caged birds & animals and some structures like a tower and walking bridges, with the hill as background.
You have to take a boat ride to get across - piece of advice: get the office tel number before you cross becos there's no way to call the boatman in case you need to leave earlier than the appointed time for the return trip.
I've been there a couple of times & it's a nice place to take the kids to run around a bit but that's about it.
If you are a nature lover or a shutterbug, you might like the place.
Unfortunately, maintenance is a bad word with our council workers so don't expect too much.
Anyway, hope you & your lady have fun.
Take care, Ciao!
