Two Mondays ago, hubby had an appointment in Kampar. Initially, I didn't intend to go with him but decided on the night before to go with him for the drive. Since we didn't go for the morning walk, I slept a little longer. After I have watered my plants, we started on our drive to Gopeng. We were looking forward to have our breakfast in Gopeng.
This is the 2nd time we were here for the Gopeng's Lai Fun noodle in Taman Gopeng Jaya food court.
This was our breakfast for hubby and I. We both agreed that we much prefer the one in the Kopisan village,
After breakfast, we drove to Kampar's land office for hubby's appointment.
Can you see the chain link fencing (above) behind the sheltered carpark?
While waiting for hubby at the car park, I took this snapshot of the fencing.
After Kampar, we made a short stop at the RTC Gopeng. There was a farmers' market.
We took a walk to look at the products on sale and I saw these pretty little white flowers. I was tempted to buy a lime tree but didn't.
We came upon this stall selling Dodol. Dodol is a sticky, very sweet candy made from coconut milk, sugar and rice flour. It takes many hours to cook and with constant stirring.
Someone has invented a machine to take over the stirring. As the dough gets thicker, it gets harder to stir.
We went to my former office to collect something from an ex-colleague.
Then it was back to home, sweet home.
Linking to Good Fences.
You have seen me tossing and turning through the night.
You have collected all my tears and preserved them in your bottle!
You have recorded every one in your book.
(Psalm 56:8, The Living Bible-TLB)
Don't think i try Dodol before...
ReplyDeleteWe like to eat dodol but now have cut down because of the sugar content.
DeleteI used to love durian dodol as a kid. Couldn't have enough of it but it has been ages since I have one. Lol.
ReplyDeleteNice lai fun. So many choices to go with your noodle.
Yes, Rose. We too love the durian dodol. We used to enjoy this dodol but no longer indulge in it.
DeleteDesconhecia este doce o dodol.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de boa semana.

Thank you, Francisco. Have a wonderful day!
Deletelong time i did not eat dodol. too sweet for me now.
ReplyDeleteThat was the reason we didn't buy any to try. Cutting down on sugar.
DeleteI quite like dodol, nice and chewy.
ReplyDeleteWe love dodol, but didn't buy any to taste.
Delete...your office building looks a bit like a cruise ship.
ReplyDeleteProbably because of the design and the windows. This photo doesn't shows the roof.
DeleteYou have the most delicious food!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. We have many varieties.
DeleteGreat fence shot and lovely 'foodie' post ~ thanks,
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you ~ ^_^
Thank you, Carol. Have a happy weekend too!
DeleteSounds like your breakfast wasn't the best. I'm guessing you won't go there again. It did look good though.
ReplyDeleteI'd try the candy, but you're right we don't do much sugar here either.
Have a fabulous day, Nancy. ☺
This may not be the best, but it is not bad either. If we can't have the better one, we will come back to this. Have a fantastic day!
DeleteThe architecture in the building is interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William. This is the Public Works Department building.
DeleteInteresting post and I have never heard of Dodol. I do not have a very sweet tooth but I would still like to try it :-) Diane
ReplyDeleteDodol is best eaten in small amount. It is a very rich and sweet candy.
DeleteThat dodol is a very interesting thing..
ReplyDeleteThose with sweet tooth will love this chewy candy.
DeleteThank you Nancy, it is always fun to visit and see what interesting places you have to share with us, and I always enjoy your photos :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Denise for enjoying my photos. It is a privilege to share. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteGreat series of photos and the breakfast looks wholesome and satisfying.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Have a great day!
DeleteThis is a very pretty fence. I had no idea about this candy, would love to taste it. Always good to go with hubby, like I did yesterday. You never know what you may find that turns into a blog post!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. I agree that most of the times when we go out with hubby driving, there is plenty of opportunity to snap some great photos for our blog post. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteI must say the restaurant puts out quite the spread of food.
ReplyDeleteI like the fence shot you took at the car park, it's a pretty fence.
Also the flowers were lovely.
The candy sounded different.
Thank you, Ida. The candy will not set, it will remain a bit soft and chewy.
DeleteLooks absolutely delicious!

DeleteDid you notice those pretty white flowers has a wonderful scent? :)
ReplyDeleteI've got those in my garden, bought them without hesitation once noticed the scent was from these plants.
Oh Stacy, I didn't know they have wonderful scent. I was too focus on taking a picture.
