26th AUGUST 2023 ~ After the visit to Ubudiah Mosque, the next nearby attraction in Bukit Chandan, Kuala Kangsar, was Istana Kenangan, which was a wooden palace, a.k.a the Perak Royal Museum. The palace was also known as Istana Adabi as one popular advertisement by Adabi [a local food brand] was filmed here.
The prominent feature of this building was that nails were not used to keep the wooden structure to stand strong until today.
Read more about the history of the palace [HERE].
Even though this place was gazetted as a museum, there were not many exhibits to be seen.
When you are here, make sure you take a lot of photos. There sure are many beautiful spots inside and outside the palace which boasts the beautiful traditional Malay architecture.
My friends and I of UPM TESL class of 1993 did just that.
