Every alternate Saturday afternoon, I go to Kampung Kepayang for visitation and also to help the children of the family I am visiting with some English lessons. It is about a 30 to 35 minutes drive from my house to Kampung Kepayang, depending on the traffic flow.
The haze has cleared slightly and at least we can see the nearby hills.
One Saturday afternoon, my hubby called me on my hand phone to meet him in Gunung Rapat. He invited me for a lunch date with him! Looking at the time, I still have time to join him for lunch before I go for the visitation.
We were here for our lunch date, ha ha ... how romantic!
We came here not for dating but for these goodies!
There were trays and trays of different varieties of goodies. These are fish paste stuffed goodies. Some are deep fried and some are non-fried.
Customers are to choose and pick what they want and place them in bowls. Then they will have to get their orders written down on a piece of paper.
Their orders will be placed according to first come first basis.
It was just a normal Saturday with no long weekend holidays but the coffee shop was packed with customers. We had a small table to ourselves.
Hubby ordered iced lime juice with salted sour plum. I ordered iced ambra or ambaralle juice with salted sour plum. Very refreshing.
We saw the next table enjoying chicken feet and I remembered a friend mentioned that this boiled or stewed chicken feet are very tasty. We added a bowl of this to our orders. Very tasty!
These are deep friend fish paste stuffed goodies.
These are non-fried fish paste stuffed goodies.
Hubby and I shared a bowl of assam laksa.
If you like these fish paste stuffed goodies, you can check out the place at Kedai Kopi Kwong Wong, Jalan Gunung Rapat, 31350 Ipoh. (opposite the Gunung Rapat market).
After lunch, hubby and I went our separate ways. He to meet his clients and I drove to Kampung Kepayang.
This includes you who were once so far away from God.
You were His enemies and hated him and were separated
from Him by your evil thoughts and actions,
yet now He has brought you back as His friends.
(Colossians 1:21, The Living Bible-TLB)
I loves the deep fried fish paste stuffed goodies, but no thank you to chicken claws...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. You will love this place. Have a lovely day!
DeleteThat was a nice date. I loved all the stuffed goodies, be it deep fried or not. My favourite chix claws, full of collagen & boy, a big glass of ambra juice to wash down everything. Yummmm

DeleteIt's nice to have a dinner date with your hubby now and then. I used to do that every Friday with my hubby after work when I ran my own business. No dinner to cook.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on the chicken claws. Have a great day Nancy.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Erika. They are all fruit juice with a salted sour plum added to give extra sweetness and a bit of sourish taste.

ReplyDelete~
Thank you and we do hope that the haze will go off and not come back again. Have a good day!
DeleteAll of this food looks good and I would love to try it. Have to admit that in your later post above this, the fried lard did not sound that good. Ah well, we can't like everything, although we are pretty adventurous and like to try different cuisines from what is the usual for us! Meeting your hobby for lunch sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sallie. Yes, the lard may not sound good but it did taste good. But we don't indulge in it often, like you said it is being adventurous. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteSo nice got dating like this! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy. Once in a while get to enjoy a bit of dating lo...hahaha. Have a happy day!
