To Olivenz Cafe

Mother and daughter dinner bonding again and this time we went to Olivenz Cafe in Ipoh Garden East. It was a first time for my girl and she delighted in her choice of food. When we arrived around 7pm, it was not crowded yet but after half hour or so, the place began to fill up. I like the ambiance there, not too noisy and it looks comfortable and suitable especially for families.

Oh by the way, now they are having a 20% promotion for RM20 above so it is worth going. hahahaa..Promotion will end this 28th August if I am not mistaken.

mine is grilled chicken with red wine...

my girl chose chicken with cheese...
yummy for her..
at least she had a proper dinner last night..

Fish Head In First Garden

There are two stalls in First Garden which are famous for their fish head meehoon. One is at the corner coffeeshop and the other one along the same row. (Sorry, I am very forgetful, I will get their names next round.)

Both have different taste, if you love sourish, go to the corner coffeeshop and if you prefer more vege, the middle shop is suitable for you. This time I opted for this shop because what attracted me was their crispy fried flat fishcake with nestum toppings. They are sold out fast so if you wanna try, go earlier and book them!

Poh San In Ipoh Garden East

Saturday night... where to go for dinner?? My mum wanted to go Jaya Jusco so decided to go somewhere around there... but where?? Then suddenly remember Elin telling me about Poh San coffeeshop in Ipoh Garden East. I never been there but thanks to her instructions, we managed to find it very easily.

A corner coffeeshop along the road leading to Bercham, opposite the big water tank...When we arrived, it was nearly 7.30pm and it was quite crowded... but after waiting around 20 minutes, our food arrived... hhmmmm.....

their signature chicken dish...
very nice, dipped with fine salt..

steamed talaphia..
the sauce was special, something different...

my girl wanted the egg fuyong..
nice too with lots of char siew..

sambal tapioca leaves, not spicy at all
but with an aroma wok taste!
if u prefer spicy, request for more chillies..

The bill came to RM52 with rice for 5 of us..
we will be back again for sure!

Bak Kut Teh In Odeon Stalls, Ipoh

One evening Christine and I went looking around for food and we ended up eating bak kut teh in one of the stalls in Odeon food court. We saw quite a crowd eating this BKT, it must be good if there is a crowd, right? So since we had not tried that before, we sat down and ordered these...
