That satisfaction of biting into a crumbly, fresh kaya kok. The clink of a ceramic coffee set in the middle of the mountains, are perhaps the peak experiences one can derive from good ol' Ipoh.

Miyabi is what the Japanese will term it, loosely translating to finding the beauty in everything. Not en

ACO Tech, the maker of the GKUI software that powers the infotainment of selected Proton models, has opened its Proton Digital Experience (DX) centre in Quill City Mall.
