Canton I In Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur

While in KL, my friends took me to Canton I for dinner. Actually we were there in Mid Valley for almost the whole day, shopping and shopping like nobody's business. Finally we called it a day when our weary legs cannot tolerate any more walking.

We charged into the Canton-i restaurant and I was surprised to see such a big crowd even though it was around 7pm only. The food must be very good?? These were what we took...

Laksa With Ice Kacang

Laksa is one of my favourites, give me Penang Laksa or Ipoh one, I will not hesitate. Just two nights ago, we took laksa again in the night market (pasar malam)... my kids and I enjoyed eating it with our ice kacang as well. It tasted not bad... not too sourish too and lots of fish as toppings...

this laksa from pasir pinji ...

ice kacang too.. yummy!

Yam Mee At Rawang

A Rawang meal is not missed whenever we go to Kuala Lumpur, that is, if I drive la...
This time my kids wanted to take noodles instead of going for rice and dishes. So no stopping by at Lan Jie but instead to the yam noodles shop Keng Kee, left turn at the Tesco traffic light in Rawang.

As usual we ordered these dishes...

fish paste with foo chok skin

meehoon with kau yuk

steamed lala (clams)

and one more fat noodles with yam...
this time I noticed that the food was not that good already
the tastiness was not there anymore..
and the bill came to RM64.00 which was very pricey
I can say...

Michaelangelo Pizza In Ipoh

For the first time, my kids and I went to Michaelangelo Pizza last night for our dinner before we went to church. It was the second time for Aaron, he recommended this place long ago but we kept putting it off until last night, we managed to go. By the time we reached there, it was quite crowded, only for one table at the entrance.

I was indeed surprised that this pizza eatery can fetch so many Ipoh patrons, young and old alike too! I thought we had to wait for some time for the food, but despite the crowd, the orders came very fast, less than 15 minutes... great!!

crowded...

I think they need a bigger shop...

spaghetti carbonara
with some creamy cheese
gosh.. no for me but for my KIDS!
They adored it...

The Hog.. or something like that..
we ordered half of this and that...

thin and crispy.. eat it while it is hot!!

as for me, i always drool over desserts..
this is lemon cheese cake
with lots of nuts and oreo...
and the bill came to RM64.00!

Houston Cafe

Ipohians, ever been to this Houston Cafe?
The other day, it was the first time for us.. three of us.... we didn't know that there is a new shop right here in town...
Ok, this shop is along the Ipoh City Hotel... I forgot the road name...gosh.. but it is along the Delight Restaurant too...
Actually the 3 of us didn't know what to eat and where to go... and suddenly we saw this Houston and after hesitating for awhile outside the door, we entered ......

the entrance

glass noodles
very nice..cos got the wok hei...

tomyam hot and spicy
big bowl too
Kong and I shared...
Houston, yes, we will visit you again!

A Meal In Nam Kew

Last night I came back from Kuala Lumpur, I did not cook and since I have a guest, I thought of taking him to try some Ipoh food. My girl suggested Nam Kew, it was a good idea since they have what we love to eat...

Here was what we ordered...

we regretted ordering this spinach soup
it was much too salty..

but we love the ginger spring onions lala (clams)

they had a rich aroma of the ginger ..
and the lala were very fresh...

my girl's favourite steamed talapia
and 2 plates of noodles which I forgot to take pictures!
The bill came to RM54.00, a bit pricey, I can say...

Lunch At Sun Mar Poh

Three of us went to Sun Mar Poh for lunch the other day.. my girl, Elin and myself. It was a special occasion but now I cannot recall what it was. Anyway, just wallop la... hahhaaha...

I ordered three dishes plus the man tau, the meal was very satisfying.... and being marpoh, the price is also very reasonable. The bill came to RM33.oo if I am not mistaken....

omelette

buttered crispy lai liew har (crabfish?)

kwai fei tau foo (beancurd)

deep fried mantau pau (dumplings)

just nice for 3 of us.. very full in fact!

JAVA Mee In Gunong Rapat

Anyone has a craze for Java Mee noodles? I, for one, do not really fancy java mee very much but this shop in Gunung Rapat changed my mind. This elderly couple who mans a stall in a shop near the Main Road serves the best java mee I have ever eaten. If you do not believe me, then you must go and try.. hahaha...

before you eat, squeeze the lime provided...

very yummy one, i tell u....

just look at the gravy and smooth texture of the noodles!
Okay, wanna go Gunung Rapat tomorrow?
Just along the Main Road before reaching the market..
you can find this stall in a double shop house...

Tea Time

Every now and then, Elin and I would love to frequent this shop at Cowan Street (Jalan Raja Ekram) especially in the mornings where the food comes out fresh and hot. Not only that, they have more choices in the mornings and usually by afternoon, some of the desserts would have been sold out.

What we took for tea time were these...

vegetarian noodles

a bowl of groundnuts porridge

yam cake
we were full till dinner time.. :)

Purple Cane Tea House

I took my mum to Purple Cane Tea House the other weekend... it was her first time there, though for decades we stayed in town those years, it was Foo San dim sum then. She was amazed by their renovation when she stepped in, so different from the time she visited the place.

Again, we did not really know how to order so with the help from the Captain, we came up with these dishes once again....

this one green tea noodles..
handmade noodles.. :)
well, if you like lui char, you will love this...

then came with acar.... one set...

this is not chinese tea but lotus soup...

chicken stew with the two sweet potato buns
well, did my mum like it?
unfortunately, not so...
but at least she has tried something new for once..:)

Citrus Wine & Dine, Ipoh

First time in Citrus Wine & Dine, Ipoh Garden East... I would love to go there once again but will never order the RM55 dish again... though it is very nice but a bit too pricey.. hahhahaa...
I love the ambience there, so cosy and relaxing...

If anyone wants to hold a formal birthday party or for any special function, you can hold them at the balcony or should I say at the higher storey level? Or maybe you can hold it in the garden terrace, it is simply fabulous!

My Sweet Lemon Cupcake

I love Elin very much!! She makes me sweet delights and feeds me with them... making me wide and rounder... who doesn't love such a good "baker" around, right?
Rounder or wider, I still love eating the... savoring each bite with hmmmmm....
To kick off the calories, just go and visit Polo Ground... then I can afford to eat more... and more..

Thanks Elin for such a wonderful sweet delight... her recipe? It is RIGHT HERE for grabs!!
