Menglembu

Menglembu is a small township in Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia, lying at the foot of the Kledang Hill, which is famous for its eponymously-named groundnuts.

Historically, Menglembu and the surrounding areas of the Kinta Valley were settled by Chinese of the Hakka Dialect Group from South China who worked in the tin mines.

[citation needed] Many shoplots in Menglembu were built in 1906 before the pre-World War era, but very few of these remain.

[citation needed] As well as its old buildings and peanuts, nowadays Menglembu is well-known locally as a foodie destination.
