Yesterday was a Sunday. After church celebration service, hubby and I needed to visit a friend in Bercham. We decided to have "chap fun" or "economy rice" at Restoran Ritzbina Sdn. Bhd., Bercham before meeting our friend. Her church celebration service ended very much later than ours.
We used to joke about "chap fun" or "economy rice". We called it "tok tok fun" or "point, point rice" because we just point to the dishes of our choice and the server will dish them onto the plate.
Hubby's choice - white rice with steamed minced meat, stir fry long beans and black vinegar pig trotter.
My choice - Deep fried drumstick, pickled veggie salad (acar) & a vegetarian dish.
And a bowl of white rice porridge. Soup is free,
Total cost of our lunch - about MYR 11.00 (approx. 2.68 USD)
Restoran Ritzbina Sdn. Bhd., Jalan Bercham, Taman Desa Kencana, Bercham.
I apologize for the reflection - took this shot through the windscreen.
On our way home.....
O God, help the king to judge as you would,
and help his son to walk in godliness.
Help him to give justice to your people, even to the poor.
May the mountains and hills flourish in prosperity
because of his good reign. Help him to defend the
poor and needy and to crush their oppressors.
(Psalm 72:1-4, The Living Bible-TLB)
Oh over in Ipoh, also they scope for you, thought in Malaysia, u all scope yourself what you all want, then go pay for the food...
ReplyDeleteMost shops will scope for us but there are some shops where we take whatever we want and they will charge accordingly at the cashier.
DeleteA lot of choices there :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha too many choices, not easy to choose...
DeleteNancy, chap fun can be fun hee..hee..because there's variety to choose from.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love to see all the nice dishes on display and makes me wanting to try everything!
DeleteNancy, chap fun can be fun hee..hee..because there's variety to choose from.
ReplyDeleteBut I ended up finding it difficult to choose out of the many! Lol!
DeleteThose shops that I frequent, we scoop the dishes ourselves so I can't call them "tok tok fun". I was about to ask you about your rice and then only read that you had rice porridge instead of rice. RM11 is a good price since it includes the pork vinegar dish.
ReplyDeleteIf porridge is available, I would take the porridge. The price here is very reasonable and the food tasty.
DeleteI love chap fan.
ReplyDeleteChap Fun gives us varieties and everyone can pick their favourites.
DeleteNancy, your hubby's choice looks good but I would probably prefer your choice. It's nice that you can have so many food choices without having to prepare and cook everyone of them...and I think the price is good too:)
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the reason I am not cooking much at home. Sometimes eating chap fun saves all the work involves in cooking at home.
DeleteThat letters on the hill a bit like in Hollywood😀
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. Instead of Hollywood, we have "Ipoh", name of our town/city up on the hill.
DeleteGood looking food as always, I was surprised how good the prices are. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. The good price is one of the excuses of not cooking much at home. Lol!
DeleteGostei de ver.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.
Thank you, Francisco. Hugs and have a beautiful day!
DeleteI also went there last week... for porridge too.. two persons plus double boil soup was also RM11...
ReplyDeleteOh! I didn't know that they have double boil soup...the price very reasonable.
DeleteThe mountains on the drive home look lovely. The pig trotter and green beans look very nice for lunch too. Have a lovely week ahead Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny. It was a good lunch. Wishing you a lovely week too!
DeleteInteresting looking food as always. Have a good day Diane.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Have a wonderful day!

DeleteI learned something new today. I have never heard of this food term. It all looks very good! Wow, that is a steep cliff! Is Ipoh really way up there?? How do they get down? Surely the town is at the bottom?
DeleteOh, The Ipoh sign is placed up on the hill. Ipoh town in at the bottom. Lol! Have a sweet day, Ginny.
Deleteyou have a choice of extraordinary dish it's pleasant! do you think has published recipes?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jens. Sorry I do not publish recipes because I am not a good cook. Lol!
DeleteYou two definitely know how to eat well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sallie. It is because we have lots of choices available here.
DeleteThose rocky outcrops catch my eye.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William. Have a happy day!
DeleteExcellent post (as always)!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beauty. Have a nice day!
DeleteThe IPOH sign looks like the famous Hollywood sign. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. Only that it is a short sign of only 4 letters.
DeleteThat hill is something rather different to see with trees on top.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret. We have lots of limestone hill.
DeleteThank you, Vildana. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteTok tok fun... good name haha. I was thinking then realised I DON'T get to point-point, coz the places I frequent are all self-service!
ReplyDeleteThose day there is no self-service but now more and more have self-service.
