After our visit to Gunung Lang Recreational Park which I shared in yesterday's post (please click here if you are interested), we had lunch at Restoran Fan Chen Mei, 3a, Persiaran Medan Bercham 3, Taman Bercham Baru, Ipoh. We were the first customers and we occupied the biggest table. There were 7 of us. We were early and we have plenty of time to go through the menu. Our friends finally settled for the following dishes.
Ordered 2 types of soup. One is the double steamed coconut chicken soup. I didn't snap photo of this soup.
The 2nd soup is this spicy sour fish maw soup Foo Chow style.
Tofu with minced pork.
Stinky beans with minced pork and sambal belacan.
The beans were tender and everyone enjoyed this dish.
Steamed fish (I don't know the name of this fish).
Fried soy sauce prawns.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious lunch. Hubby's friend and family will be returning to this restaurant the next evening with his siblings.

The following photos were taken at the Gunung Lang Recreational Park.
There are many monkeys on the other side of the lake but this one stood out from the rest. It wasn't afraid of people and came quite close to us.
It was watching hubby and probably expecting food from hubby.
Good thing it didn't disturb us because we were not carrying any food items except for some bottle of drinking water.
It didn't mind when I pointed my phone camera in its direction.
Finally, it decided to give me a good pose by looking directly into the camera. Thank you, my little friend.

Steamed coconut chicken soup? We do not have that here, wish I could try. I guess it is sweet since coconut water is sweet? Foochow style fish maw soup? Don't think I've seen anything like that here - probably Sitiawan Foochow style. Ooooo...I love petai!
ReplyDeleteYes, the fish maw soup is Sitiawan Foochow style.
DeleteWonderful food and love the monkey photos, the last one is fantastic, love how he is posing for you! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie.

ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Thank you, Paul.
DeleteThat's a cute monkey! And your food looks very yummy. I like the pretty plates and cups too.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great new week.
DeleteWow, that's a big monkey. How on earth did you get him to pose for you like this??
ReplyDeleteI think this monkey is very used to human visitors. It is not afraid of us.
DeleteYou had such a good time dining on fabulous food. That monkey is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteLook like Monkey didn't mind having is photo taken.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Thank you, Dora.
Deletethe food looks delicious, I am a little unsure of monkeys as they can be aggressive when they know you have food :)
ReplyDeleteWe were not afraid because we were not carrying any thing edible and the monkey knows it.
DeleteLovely post
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rajani.
DeleteWow, it's quite big monkey!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Krolowa.
DeleteI'm glad to know you guys had a great time at the restaurant. The lone monkey appears to be accustomed to humans by remaining quiet and looking around. As you mentioned, approaching monkeys with food in hand is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ahead
Thank you, Jeevan. Have a great week too.
DeleteQuite a monkey!
ReplyDeleteI think it was waiting for some snacks from us.
DeleteNever been to Gunong Lang, I must go and visit one day too.. Ipoh lang belum pernah pergi...
ReplyDeleteYes, at last I get to visit this park.
DeleteLa comida se ve muy buena. El mono está muy bien en las fotografías. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteVery clear photos of that monkey. The recreational park is closed now right?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy. The Gunung Lang recreational park is open now. If you are planning a visit to Ipoh, you can also visit the Tasik Cermin and the Kek Lok Tong, which I myself have not been. If you are interested, you can google.
