Lunch At Restoran 226, Chemor

It has been more than 2 years since the pandemic started and we have almost forgotten about this curry noodle at Kedai Minuman Villa, Ipoh. It was end of February that we revisited this place for the curry noodle.

Hubby and I ordered curry noodle from the same stall. Mine was the curry broth version and hubby had the dry version. The price per bowl is now RM6. Before the price increase, this was one of the cheapest curry noodle in town.

We met up with friends for lunch and I received the following coffee from a friend.

I have yet to try the coffee.

Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry,

go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink.

Your generosity will surprise him with goodness.

Don't let evil get the best of you;

get the best of evil by doing good.

(Romans 12:20-21, The Message-MSG)

Invitation To A Birthday Dinner At East Ocean Restaurant, Chemor.

We received a dinner invitation to celebrate a friend's birthday and was told that the venue will be in East Ocean Restaurant in Chemor. Business was good that evening. The ground floor was full and we were given a table on the 1st floor.

Since the food was pre-ordered through the phone, dinner was promptly served once we were comfortably seated.

Fish slices with young ginger slices & spring onions.

This is a prawn dish - don't know what is the name of this dish.

Steamed egg with water for the elderlies and kids.

Sorry for the blur picture.

Dinner On A Cold Night At Chemor Village Restaurant, Chemor.

Our purpose of going to Chemor was to try the food in one restaurant which our friends recommended. Unfortunately, it was closed that evening and we have to look for the nearest restaurant in that area which happened to be the Chemor Village Restaurant at 20, Hala Chemor 1, Chemor. We have visited this place several times before.

Recording Sweet Memories Of Past Weeks

Today's post is a collection of a few events that I have put together to be recorded as sweet memories of the past weeks while I was busy posting about my holidays in Hong Kong, Sekinchan and Semenyih.

After coming back from our holidays, and especially having started the durian feast (supper) at Cheras, our craze for durian started!

We went looking for durians after dinner one night. Came to this place with so many durians for sale. The durians were quite good and the price quite reasonable, so we went back to the same stall the next afternoon.

The vendor opening the fruit with a special knife. Imagine him holding the thorny fruit with his bare hand!

I love to eat the kampung durians of different taste and flavour. There was one section eaten by worms. Even the worms love durians.

This is a close-up view of a durian worm. A friend once told me that his grandpa loved to eat durian worms! Yucks!!! Why? The reason is the worm is full of protein and nutrients especially when it feeds on the highly nutritious durian. No, thank you!

A retirement lunch for an ex-colleague at Mun Choong Restaurant.

This photo was taken while waiting for the rest to arrive.

A photo to remember the event. Who was the new retiree to join the pensioner's club? The only gentleman among all the ladies!

A special gift with special delivery.

A dear friend from Petaling Jaya sent these yummies through her hubby, especially for me. She love baking and these were made with love!

Thank you, Karen for these yummies. They melt in the mouth! Look also at the golden gem inside. I love salted egg yolks ... yummy!

A Retirees' foodie outing

A roasted duck lunch at Restoran Old Friend, Chemor.

We heard so much about the delicious fish noodles served here. We ordered only a bowl of soup to be shared among us just after the duck lunch.

Next we walked to the other end of the row of shops. My sifu enjoying the rich aroma of durian.

Next, another sweet and fleshy tropical fruit - Chempedak. And we drank some coconut water to take away the heatiness of durian.

We continued with our sweet dessert at this stall under the shady tree.

A bowl of silky smooth tofu fa swimming in soya milk.

A week later, another retirees' outing looking for special durian "5 fingers fruit".

The midday sun was hot. Came to this house selling durians.

A nice surprise, met two ex-colleagues during their lunch break.

Look at the size of the durians! These are the "5 fingers fruits",
(ng chee kor in Cantonese)

Bought 2 fruits to try since I heard so much about this fruit.

On the way home, stopped for black glutinous rice sweet dessert. One with coconut milk, the other without - that's our lunch.

One "5 fingers fruit" yellow flesh, very fleshy and tasted bitter sweet.

Another fruit with light beige flesh, creamy and fleshy, and tasted bitter sweet. The durian season is almost coming to an end. No worries. I still have ample supply of durian in the freezer for me to enjoy as ice-cream!

Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
will also supply and increase your store of seed
and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous
on every occasion, and through us your generosity
will result in thanksgiving to God.
(2 Corinthians 9:10-11, New International Version-NIV)
