Kuala Pilah Things to Do

The palace is situated in an old royal town of the state of Negri Sembilan. The building itself is made out of wood and attached together without the use of any single nails. A beautiful landscape to enter the palace and a long walk from the gate to the main entrance.

This ceratinly is a must for every visitor to Kuala Pilah, regardless of locals or foreigners.

This green building is also a pre-war structure. It’s now repainted to give that exclusive look in order to match the posh teak and wood based furniture showroom setting.

Some of the furniture selling here are really nice, I almost shop that whole truck load for my father’s new house. I am just kidding!!

How do you like this yellow wall? Sorry, I was itchy hand and digitally enhanced the looks of the wall. The original picture is found at the left-bottom corner.

This shop lot is facing Lister Road and is one of the newer post-war buildings.

This is the most well kept, beautifully painted wall of the pre-war structures found in Kuala Pilah. The window frames and panels are remained original, the authentic looks of the building also not distorted with modern air-conditioning compressors or hand-phone advertisements.

Singer, Maggi, Milo are some of the household brand names since like from ages ago. The brand name Singer which produced great sewing machine in early days will surely put a smile on anyone faces especially those who are in their forties and above.

Oh! The point I’m trying to make here is people are keeping their traditions and their lives are very much revolve around those well kept traditions.

I would like to call this corner lot with its side facing Jalan Muar (see sign) as Corner Joint. There will be a separate travelogue being created to show some of the uniqueness of this lot.

I can’t remember the building was constructed in which year, but it should not be later than 1930. I didn’t have the chance to view the interior, but another VTer (with the unpronounceable o00o id) had some exclusive write up on the interior for this corner lot.

There are a lot of activities of festive shopping and preparation works at Tanjung Ipoh weekend market.

You can get really fresh beef, fishes and chicken from this market. Other Hari Raya essentials such as pre-packed ketupat (see picture), lemang and dates are widely available here.

Btw, not many people will make ketupat and lemang for own consumptions anymore. Most families will buy pre-packed or nicely packaged festive essentials from market place.

This is the famous night spot Yam Tuan Road of Kuala Pilah. I was visiting during the Ramadan month (last few days before Hari Raya), some of the food vendors are selling at Buka Puasa Bazaar and that is the reason the street is quite empty even though it’s only 8pm.
