Lunch At Qi Fu Vegetarian Restaurant, Ipoh

This was last Sunday. Our elder son, sister-in-law and family were back in Ipoh for the weekend. Sister-in-law and family rented a homestay in Menglembu which is quite near to our place.

We and elder son took non-vegetarian breakfast on our own which I have posted in the previous post. It was curry noodles at Curry Keng Restaurant.
After breakfast, we went home.
We were to meet up with sister-in-law and family at the above Qi Fu vegetarian restuarant for lunch. We needed 2 tables because sister-in-law also invited a few of her old friends. Brother-in-law sat with us and he ordered the following dishes because we were not familiar with vegetarian dishes.
We don't want rice, so he ordered fried noodle (Mamak style) for us.
I only took this snapshot after we have served ourselves the noodle.
Sweet potato leaves.
Vegetarian fish
Tofu
Stir fried beansprout with vegetarian salted fish.
Transparent noodle and cabbage cooked with red fermented tofu (nam yee).
The only one who took rice with the dishes was brother-in-law.
After lunch, we went home to rest and elder son need to get ready to drive back to his home.
Later in the evening, we visited sister-in-law and family at their rented homestay in Menglembu.
Then together we went out in 2 cars for dinner. The young people wanted vegetarian hotpot.
This is where we had our hotpot dinner.
No snapshots of the food we had because the seating arrangement made it difficult for taking snapshots.
It was raining when we finished our dinner. We bid each other goodbye because they will be leaving for home early next morning for their booster vaccine jab in the afternoon.
Old fashion or antique granite mortars and pestles and grinders found at the Gopeng Museum when we visited in 2015.


You cannot separate fools from their foolishness,
even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.
(Proverbs 27:22, New Living Translation-NLT)

  3. Mama Vege have a clever billboard - Welcome Back/Long Time No See - what a refreshing sight and no doubt it indicates they rely on repeat trade not passing trade - that's always a good sign !

  8. Whatever one eats has a better taste when it's done with family members at the table.
    I like the restaurant's friendly and warm welcome sign. It sure attracts potential customers.
    The sky , as usual in your posts, adds beauty and/or drama to the occasion.

  12. Getting together with family is a fun thing and all this food looks so good. I love meatless dishes and could easily not eat meat especially in the hot months.

    Have a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥
