First Time To CoffeeBean

I have not stepped into Coffee Bean before... yes, true.. lol... until that night, I took my canadian frens for a cup of coffee and some desserts... I have always passed by but never gone in but after this time, I think I will step in more often. The desserts were ravishing! Coffee is not so so likeable for me, the sweeties are the ones I will chase after...

the scone.. they warmed it up
very nice...

the cheese cake.. fabulous but fattening, of course..

and the creamy coffee.. so relaxing..

New World Penang

We had our lunch in New World.. I think I do not want to go there again... the food was not that good... what to do, we wanted to avoid the traffic jam in town and ended up not eating nice good food. We should have gone somewhere else for good food.. sigh.. Even our dinner was not good too so I did not bother to snap the pictures.
I did not take all the food pictures because nothing to shout about except for the ice kacang and cendol...

this was the worst... nothing like real satay...

bah chang, so so only..

we love apom only..

banana apom..

otak otak

ice kacang

cendol

Let's Rock Again

It has been some time since I last took curry... when we reached Lets Rock in DR Seenivasagam street, I could not resist not having curry for my lunch, so did Elin. Both of us ended up being "hot and spicy" that day.. LOL....

We sort of like it because there was not too much "santan" in the curry... a bit dilute but it was alright for both of us... once awhile it is okay to touch on curry....

Expensive But Tasty

It has been some time since I last visited this shop in Ipoh Garden South, the coffeeshop next to Choy Kee. This shop sells noodles cooked with pork, either minced or sliced and with other varieties you can opt to add into. As for me and my friend, we wanted just minced pork and this fried dumpling (har kau)... They were very crispy and nice even when they were not warm already..

price has gone up...for 2 bowls and 2 dumplings,
it cost RM14.00... expensive but then
once awhile we just walloped!

My Daily Desire

After my oatmilk, I still go out to search for food at times, unless I am too busy, then I will sit quietly and cook some instant quaker oats for my breakfast.
To have a bowl of noodles in the morning is very satisfying... Ipoh is famous for its "liews" (various types of fish paste made). This shop in old town serves one of the best I have ever eater, CT coffeeshop and its original is a few shops away, I cannot remember the name. Owned by few brothers... (maybe Mingna can be able to help me in recalling :)

my breakfast

my lunch, chicken koay teow...

and my duck rice dinner in Ipoh Garden....
how is that for a day's meal?

Desserts For Breakfast

AFter drinking my oatmilk, Kong and I went out to search for food. We were sort of scratching our heads wondering what to eat next... wanted to go to one shop but closed.. then ended up in this dessert shop in Cowan Street. It was still early and the food displayed were so fresh and warm... even the yammy pudding was still hot!
We ended up ordering a bit of this and that...

see .. not much actually
but we ended up pushing to each other to finish them up..

this yammy cake was still soft
they mixed some beans inside this time..
very nice!!

Lavender Muffins

I am still drooling over this special cupcakes or muffins... guess who made them? Yes, Elinluv from sweet delights. She has created a new blog, just for all of us who love sweeties, yummies and drooling delights. Congratulations to her new blog!!!

Hop over to her new blog to have a better picture of these cute muffins....
Thank you to Kristy for supplying the aroma lavender to Elin..
Without these two wonderful food bloggers, I will not have a chance to savor such beauties!
LOL....

The Succulent Roasted Delicious.......

I am going to miss these food once I start on my healthy meal, that is drinking oatmilk with quaker oats. My cholesterol is a bit high so need to control my food, that is the sad news. But I guess no harm going for these type of food once awhile, right? Maybe two times in seven days? Justified, right? Life is quite meaningless if we can not eat what we like, right? All the "rights" seem to be "wrong." :p
Back to the food, I love going to this coffeeshop behind the Telekom. Somehow I cannot remember the shop name, always forget to look up for its name... Anyway, just look at the food... now i m drooling... it seems like ages though it was only yesterday that I took this wanton mee...

this is prawn mee... only on mondays, they sell ...

aaahhh.. the One Ton Mee
with the succulent roasted pork!

dare to try? :p

Wah Nam Shifted?

Elin and I went to Hua Nam coffeeship, it has shifted to Seenivasagam Road, just next to OSK Building. But we noticed that the former stalls were not there anymore. Maybe the coffeeshop owner is the same but the stalls are new. Wonder where the former stalls have gone to. The first thing that came to my mind was the rental.... because of rental, maybe the old stalls owners decided not to sell there anymore.

I took fried koay teow, pangkor style...
wonder what the difference was...
to me, it is the same, normal style...

this of course belonged to Elin
always stay healthy and trim.. :p

i couldnt resist these.. sold at 1.50 each
the pastry was a bit hard.. not as nice as Elin's :p

Mum's Home Cooked Dishes

For the last few days, my mum has been cooking for me, I am very grateful to her. Though I did not ask her to, in fact I told her not to, but she kept cooking for me, for us. My mum is indeed a special woman. Despite her blur vision, it did not hinder her from helping her kids, us... despite she has the liability, she is still thinking for us... worrying about us... she is indeed one special mum.... at least to me.. to us... I love her...

our favorite potato chicken

our favorite yam too...

Cooling Desserts in GreenTown

It is all about desserts... weather is so hot hot in IPOH for the last few days, so what other places to go but to savor in the cold ice cream and some fruits.... These were taken in GreenTown coffeeshop, they have other selection as well, ice kacang, cendol, herbal drinks and even the "wan tau long" (cooling jelly) as well. They are not expensive, if I am not mistaken, it is only around RM3-4 per glass....

my kids love this...

just nice for a hot weather...

a fruits salad ice cream dessert..
these will cool our tempers down.. right?

A Friday Tete-A-Tete

What do these two muffin remind you of? Yes, Kenny Rogers, my favorite muffins of all times! Last Friday Elin and I treated ourselves to KR in Ipoh Parade during our long hour lunch time. We had a good and touching chat about our kids.... that was a memorable day... kind of sad but then this is life.... we as mothers give birth to our children and one day we have to let them go no matter how much we miss them.....
Ok, Elin... do not worry, u and i are almost in the same boat... our kids are almost the same age and they will leave us one day for their brighter future.. Meanwhile here's to our great meals... lets eat our hearts out heartily...

we must do this more often...
Eating is Bliss...

Sun Sun, Here We Come Again And Again!

My sons were back for the weekend, sooo.....in two cars we drove to Sun Sun Restaurant again. Yes, AGAIN!! LOL... 3rd time I have been eating in less than a month, I think!
I took my mum this time, her first time there, Andy too....
It was quite crowded on Sunday and this time we sat at the five foot way, no choice cos inside the shop all fully occupied. We ordered six dishes for six of us.... Amazing? LOL...

salted egg chicken

yau mak

fried or chien..

steamed talapia fish

assam sotong

best is Vinegar pork!!

All these dishes cost me RM71.00 plus rice...
Reasonable or Expensive?

Pangkor Meal

We had our barbecue dinner yesterday at the resort. Nothing to shout about, I didn't even snap much pictures in fact. Maybe the food didn't attract me that much.... or perhaps I was not hungry so that might explained the "lack of interest." With so much abundant food, now I know why many like to go for courses. As for me, I hope I will not be chosen anymore.. at least for this year!

barbecuing the chicken wings...
took one only..
I saw the black black thing, I grew scared...

one of my meals while I was there..
salted egg, black pepper flower crabs, french beans and curry fish...

Now I Am Satisfied!

Nowadays I seldom go out for my breakfast.... getting used to eating in the office, quaker oats with fruits! Unbelievable? But true...for certain days if not all. Piles of work in the office, don't ask me why but yes, lots of work to do.... so in order not to waste time going out, nowadays I stay back and eat healthily. hahaha... I wonder how long I can take quaker oats with no sugar too!
But when it comes to lunch time, I was as hungry as a horse and ended up taking sinful food such as these...

koayteow with curry sauce

4 types of liew-s...
Now I am Satisfied!! hahahahaa...
