Chua Cheng Bok Building, Ipoh (19 August, 2006)
Chua Cheng Bok Building is a beautiful heritage building at No. 94, Jalan Sultan Idris Shah (formerly Brewster Road) in Ipoh. It was built in the 1930's in the Art Deco style. The original owner, early 20th century tycoon Chua Cheng Bok, was the founder of the popular auto firm Cycle & Carriage, which opened its first branch in Ipoh in 1906. He was also the builder to the Coliseum and Bok House in Kuala Lumpur.
During the post-war years, Chua Cheng Bok Building housed several British and American trading companies including William Jacks, AIA, United Press Association and Sime Darby.
Today a Malay restaurant, Restoran Semenanjung, occupies the ground floor of the historical building. Other than that, the rest of the building appears to be vacant.

Where to go, what to see when in Ipoh? Here are some suggestions with my videos!About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
