Found it...
After our dinner at the Big Feet Small Feet Restaurant (can you guess what they are selling?), we drove over to check out the newly opened Bookxess @ Kong Heng.
As we entered the shopfront we felt it was rather cramped. At first I thought the books available were very limited. Then the staff told me that there are more books down at the vaults! Just follow the neon signs to go down to the basement. This premises was previously occupied by a bank and hence the strong rooms were in the basement.
Look at the sturdy doors...
The vaults ... where you can find treasures of gold aka the books as the Chinese saying go "Inside the books are treasures of gold".
Filing cabinets
Safety deposit boxes...

Of course, we could not leave empty handed. So instead of buying Ipoh's popular biscuits and pastries back, we bought back books!
Birch Clock Tower Memorial
was built in 1909 to commemorate, James WW Birch the first British Resident in Perak who was assassinated by local Malay chiefs. This Memorial stand in front of a Malay mosque.
My office also has a vault hidden in the filing room as previously the premises was occupied by a bank too.
Wow!!! I was stunned to see the vault and books there! This is so cool man ... I wanna visit too.
