On Tuesday, 15th March we started our drive to Jeram at about 10.30 am. We were going to try out Jeram's authentic Ho Po Lei Cha (vegetarian rice).
Here's our driver for that day and I was the back passenger.
We reached Jeram in less than half an hour. This is part of Jeram town near the market.
Part old and part new building.
I love this spacious place. I would love to explore more of the town.
Here are the food stalls.
The wet market stalls are just next to the food stalls.
Surprisingly, it was quite clean and not smelly at all.
We noticed only a few stalls were opened.
Someone had found a table and busy taking snapshots.
This was our target. Kedai Nasi LeiCha QingJie.
Gerai No. M-7, Gerai MDKS, 31850 Jeram.
Contact No: 012-547 7736, 05-466 7050
One of my friends did the ordering of our brunch.
Ho Po Lei Cha of Jeram. Just look at all the goodies covering the rice.
With a bowl of herbal soup.
We had 2 sets of Lei Cha (Vegetarian/Herbal Rice).
My friends also ordered a bowl of sweet sour soup with noodles. This was really good and appetizing. We wouldn't mind dropping by for this noodles again.
After our brunch, we took a short drive around Jeram.
We may make another trip to try out the food here.

Did you see something that looks like a giant grasshopper? It is a basket ball net stand.
Linking to Good Fences.
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
(Isaiah 40:22, NIV)
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteVery pleasant and relaxing place that you are visiting and the vegetarian food there looks so good.
I hope that you will have a lovely Easter holiday.
Zoe
Thank you, Zoe. Happy Easter to you too!
DeleteNancy, the lei cha looks pretty loaded with many ingredients!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Phong Hong. Very loaded with many ingredients. Yummy!
DeleteLol..for a moment there i thought it's the jeram here. Sweet sour soup...hmmm...i wonder is it same as the one in sibu.
ReplyDeleteHa ha...I didn't know there is another Jeram at your place, then I should have put Jeram in Perak. The sweet sour soup very tasty.
DeleteSoup looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteSaw the basketball net, different!
Thank you, Margaret. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteLei cha, healthy Hakka dish but unfortunately, I am not fond of it. Give me the sweet sour soup noodles anytime & I would be the most happy one.
ReplyDeleteHello Irene, I understand that not everyone is fond of Lei Cha because of its "green" taste of the soup. I didn't like it on my first try but after that I liked it and I don't mind having it once in a while. I would say the sweet sour soup would appeal to many!
DeleteHello Nancy1:)The food looks good and healthy, and the portions generous. I must say I fancy the soup!:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Breathtaking. The soup was very tasty. Have a great day!
DeleteI never try lei cha before as might not used to the taste... But the sweet sour soup with noodles is tempting...
ReplyDeleteI think in that case, the sweet sour soup with noodle will be a better choice for you, Sharon.
DeleteThese are all so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beauty. Have a lovely day!
DeleteThe bowl of goodies covering the rice looks a lot like a Vietnamese dish I love to eat. I like the photos of the area of town too. It looks like it might be less hectic in that area though the pics might be deceptive ;-)
ReplyDeleteHello Joyful, this is a little town so it is less hectic than elsewhere.
DeleteHakka Ho Poh. I am one. Hakka clan also have few different dialect and Ho Poh is one of them. Most Hakka in Kuching speaks Ho Poh.
ReplyDeleteLui cha is good for detox and fiber but if I am to choose, I would go for the sweet sour soup. Better for my tastebuds. Haha.
Thank you, Rose for the info on Hakka clan. I also prefer the sweet sour soup but I also like Lui Cha because there's lots of goodies for me to munch. Ha ha ha!
DeleteI would never be able to drive a right hand car.
ReplyDeleteOver here we all drive right hand car. I think we will have the same problem when we go over to your country.
DeleteYou get used to changing back and forth, I do not even notice the difference.
DeleteThank you, Diane. I think it will be like changing from manual to auto drive back and forth...after some time we get used to it? Have a great day!

DeleteThat's quite an unusual basketball post!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William. It is my first time seeing this basketball post!
DeleteI love to eat Lei Cha. This must be the authentic ho po lei cha since there is a ho po association there.
ReplyDeleteMy friend told me this place is known for its authentic ho po lei cha but I think the taste depends on individual. Personally, I think the lei cha here is quite tasty.
