Muah Chee or Glutinous Rice Snack With Peanut & Sugar In Ipoh Old Town

It was a Saturday morning and we had breakfast with friends. After breakfast, we drove through this part of Ipoh old town and there in front of Kedai Makanan Nam Heong, Jalan Bandar Timah, I saw this stall selling "ma chi" or "muah chee". This glutinious rice snack coated with peanut and sugar is one of my favourite snacks. 

I quickly told hubby to pull the car over to the side. We just had breakfast but I must have a taste of the "muah chee" snack!

I bought a small packet @ RM 3.50 to share with my friends. 

 The stall is operated by 2 sisters and it is only opened during the weekend.

Will be back again for the "muah chee"

We went to get some fertilizer and we saw an interesting tree outside the gate.

Flowers on the tree.

Berries on the tree.

Bright red berries on the tree.

When asked, no one knows the identity of the berries or whether the berries are edible.

 Inside the compound, we saw these white bitter gourds hanging on their vines. White bitter gourd is very rare and not sold in the markets or stores.

Fortunately, there was 1 last packet of seeds available. I bought that packet and the seeds have sprouted and now growing in a pot in my garden. I was told that this is the Taiwan bitter gourd.

The following photos are for joining Saturday's Critters.

Thanks to my friend for sharing these photos with me.

 She found this baby kingfisher bird in her garden.

 Before the cats could get to the bird, she quickly rescued it and brought her into her house.

 Just look at the strong beak and big black eyes.

 My friend bought crickets from the pets shop to feed this bird.

The kingfisher took a look at the crickets

It flew down to pick up one with its beak.

Then it flew back up before swallowing the cricket.

Ah! A beautiful pose!

This picture was taken before it was set free to live a free life.

Linking with Saturday's Critters.

You have died with Christ,

and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world.

So why do you keep on following the rules of the world,

such as, "Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch"?

Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.

These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion,

pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline.

But they provide no help in conquering a person's evil desires.

(Colossians 2:20-23, New Living Translation-NLT)
