Lately, we have been making a few trips to Kampar. The latest trip we made was to meet up with my sister-in-law and company who were travelling all the way from Seremban.
We timed our journey to meet up with them in Kampar.
We started at about 11.30 am and it was a smooth journey all the way.
In this way they journeyed at the command of the Lord
and stopped where he told them to,
then remained there as long as the Cloud stayed.
(Numbers 9:18, The Living Bible-TLB)
After Gopeng town, we saw some stalls on both sides of the road selling durians but we didn't stop for any.
They reached earlier than us. Altogether, there were 5 adults and 2 kids.
They were hungry and they wanted to take lunch. My sister-in-law and company are vegetarians.
They knew where to go because they have been there before.
Nice decorations and ambiance.
This place is called Vegan Life. Jalan Hala Timah,
Taman Bandar Baru, Kampar.
Taman Bandar Baru, Kampar.
My sister-in-law and her hubby did the ordering of food.
Tofu with enoki mushrooms, etc.
I am not sure about the ingredients of this dish.
Mixed veggie.
I like this - pumpkin & deep fried mushrooms.
Stir fried paku pakis
Spicy Satay Tofu
Total cost of vegetarian lunch for 5 adults and 2 kids,
(including rice, drinks & GST).
MYR 145.65 (approx. 35.98 USD)
Can you spot the lone cyclist over the fence?
We were here once in the evening and it was filled with joggers, walkers and etc.
Found this cat near to where we parked our car.
Although not vegetarian, we really prefer eating plant food - lighter for the tummy:) Nancy, your paku dish brings back memories - of our visit to maternal grandmother when we were children...she wasn't a good cook/chef but she can make a delicious stir fry paku...So, we always 'just' have paku with steamed rice during our visit to their home LOL ...and ice cream on cones from the pushcart peddlers - sometimes before meal, sometimes after our meal:) Wishing you a good day today!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie. What you have written also brought back my childhood memories. Those days, paku can easily be found near streams in the village. We used to harvest the paku and water spinach found besides the streams and stir fried them for our meals. Oh yes, ice cream on cone was very much enjoyed too! Have a beautiful day!
DeletePratos magníficos e excelentes fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.
