Referring to the news, Mine the tourism potential of Gopeng.. Min of Tourism it reminded me of a trip to Bercham Ipoh last Friday with some of my friends.It was a day outing and was also in response to a feature in the Star metro sometime in February, regarding a nice eating place there. After much searching, we found "Kedai Makanan Rasa Lain"** in time for early dinner. We found to our surprise, this establishment was awarded a certificate of commendation by the Minister of Tourism, but was quite disappointed that the Ministry chose to award certificates to places where the toilets don't come up to scratch. Though the food was reasonably good and inexpensive, we would not recommend that a prospective customer use the toilet facilities BEFORE his meal.
I feel that proper value must be attached to places that are recommended by the Ministry, and for the Ministry to accord praise to places that they have not thoroughly checked out will give our country a bad name, as tourists will literally "thumb their noses" at the credibility of our efforts..
Endorsed eatery not up to the mark
