We woke up on Wednesday morning to be greeted with more and worse haze. The whole day was dark and gloomy.
There was no sunlight.
The surrounding hills could not be seen.
This photo was taken about 12.30 pm, couldn't see the sun.
I was in no mood to cook that night and I suggested going to Menglembu for dinner. A friend has told me about the new location of this eatery.
According to my friend they used to call this food court Kafe Big Fan.
Now it is changed to Sun Place Cafe.
It is at Lorong Kledang Timur 10, Menglembu, Ipoh.
It was named Big Fan because there are 2 giant fans hanging from the high ceiling for the whole of the food court. Enough to make the place breezy.
The time was about 6.45 pm. We were one of the early customers.
There are many variety of stalls to choose from.
Our target is the stall next to the Bak Kut Teh stall. I do not know the name because it is written in Chinese. I have only tasted their food once when they were in their former location before they shifted to this present place.
I remembered the first time we ordered this Black Vinegar Pig's Trotter, the portion was small. This time round it was quite a big bowl. The pieces of trotter was well cooked.
Thinking that the trotter was a small portion, I ordered a deep fried Tilapia fish with spicy sauce. Looks more like Assam curry to me or maybe I ordered wrongly. Anyway I enjoyed the sourish, spicy gravy and the veggie very much. I alone ate more than half of the fish. I love to eat fish.
Not knowing the big portion of the first two dishes, I ordered this sweet potato leaves, stir fried with garlic. In order to finish these dishes, we both shared one plate of white rice.
Total cost of a satisfying dinner is MYR36 (approx. 8.46 USD)
My son, never forget the things I've taught you.

DeleteI have never tried sweet potato leaves, they look very refreshing and tasty!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ola. They will taste very good if the out layer of the stem is peeled off.
DeleteWow- that haze is really thick and nasty. Looks like it should start pouring. But I think you were right for going out to eat. That foods looks Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erika. The thick haze makes me tired and lazy, an excuse to eat out...hahaha!

DeleteYikes on the haze. It looks awful and if it blocks the sun then it's really bad.

DeleteThank you, De. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat haze sounds serious. Not able to see and feel the sun must be depressant. No wonder you don't feel like cooking dinner that night. The food looks good... not sure about the pig trotters though..., lol.
ReplyDeleteHugs.

Thank you, Julia. After last night's rain, this morning I woke up able to see our nearby hills. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteThe food looks great, Nancy, and I am so sorry to see the haze! Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Recently we had some rain and this morning the sky is a bit clearer. Have a great day!
DeleteThe rainy season is here, but it looks like it's not helping much with the haze. Take care, Nancy and God bless!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. After last night's downpour, this morning the sky is a bit clearer but don't know how it will be by afternoon. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteI love Black Vinegar Pig's Trotter especially if they add in some dried cili. There is one shop that does add the dried cili in kepong .
ReplyDeleteFor this soup version, I have not tasted with chili added. But for the drier version, I have tasted with dried chili and dried cuttlefish added and it was very delicious. Have a happy day!
DeleteI was searching to see the huge fans, but got disappointed... Yummy dishes!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. I did try to take a shot of the big fan but it didn't turn up well. I will try again the next time.
DeleteThe haze has apparently moved up north. Do take care!
ReplyDeleteWow looks like the food was worth travelling for, especially that fish.
Thank you, Stacy. In spite of the haze, we had good appetite for these yummy dishes.
