Dinner At Kopitiam Mun Soon, Ipoh

This was last Friday. The weather is usually nice and cool in the morning, with a bit of sun and overcast sky for the rest of the day.

View of Kledang Hill taken on our morning walk at 7:15am.
Assam Laksa for breakfast at Yummy Food Garden in Menglembu.
Tasty and delicious assam laksa with lots of fish flakes.
Assam Laksa is only available on Fridays and Saturdays.
I went next door to buy water spinach (kangkong) seeds.
These are the types of seeds available.
Back home in my garden, lots of pretty flowers on the lime plant.

Fried salted egg mantis prawns.

The people shall no longer quote this proverb -
"Children pay for their fathers' sins."
For everyone shall die for his own sins -
the person eating sour grapes is the one
whose teeth are set on edge.

  2. The Assam Laksa looks rich and flavorful macam Penang style. It has been ages I have not passed Taman Boon Bak. I think that area was developed by my sister in law's family member long ago.

    1. Thank you, Margaret. The beans are not stinky when cooked and when you eat the beans. It is only stinky when you go to the washroom. Lol!

  10. I don't dare to buy Assam laksa delivery because the soup smell is way too strong to be eaten at home. Your Assam laksa looks so very tasty. All your dinner dishes look scrumptious. I like to eat Kon cheen Kai. What is the taste of the kon cheen Kai? Nam Yue taste?

    1. Thank you, Mun. No nam yue taste in the kon cheen kai. I don't know what they use to marinate the chicken.

  19. Correct me if I am wrong, the lime plant flowers look like gardenia flowers if I remember correctly. Such lovely White colour, I love looking at flowers, it makes me happy and bring a smile to my face.
