Japanese Set Lunches At Jun Cuisine, Ipoh

The Golden Girls had a foodie outing last month. This time, the chosen venue was Jun Cuisine, Jalan Haji Eusoff, Housing Trust and it was brought to our attention by one of the Golden Girls. Since we are now all retirees, we can choose a weekday for our outing to avoid the weekend crowd.

 A newly opened Japanese eatery.

 We were informed that they were in the midst of completing their menu.

Since there were 4 of us, we decided to order 4 set lunches to share.

 Set 1 - Saba Shioyaki with rice @ RM 16.80

 Set 2 - Tonkatsu (pork) with tartar sauce with rice @ RM 17.00

Set 3 - Chicken Katsu with tartar sauce with rice @ RM 16.80

 The pork and chicken katsu not much different.

 Set 4 - Unagi Don @ RM 26.80

 Out of the 4 sets, the Unagi Don was the most flavourful.

 Each set comes with a bowl of salad.

It also includes seaweed pickle and soup.

 Plus a small bowl of udon noodle soup.
The sets also come with a bowl of rice each.
We shared a bowl of rice and returned the other 3 bowls.

 We ordered 4 sets of Chawanmushi (Japanese egg custard).

 Hot green tea for 3 that comes in this cute teapot

and 1 cold green tea.

The set lunches also include 1 scoop of ice cream.

Total cost of our lunch for 4 people = RM 99.40

Birthday Dinner At Dozo, De Garden, Ipoh

This is a special dinner to celebrate a birthday. No, no, not my birthday but a friend's birthday. This is my first visit to Dozo. This birthday was celebrated in the company of 4 people. I don't have the receipt with me and I can't remember the names of the food we had. The ordering of food was left to my friend.

 A bowl of fried rice

 Something with lots of cheese.

One piece for each person.

 A salad bowl. We enjoyed this salad very much.

 The salad consisted of ice or crystal vegetable which I love to eat.

 Saba fish

 Dumplings

 Cheesy pizza with crunchy fried rice base.
The above food was shared by 4 people.

Pink spider flowers or Cleome.

Every now and then a Cleome plant or two will sprout out from the ground in my garden and bless me with beautiful blooms.

Love and Truth meet in the street,

Right Living and Whole Living embrace and kiss!

Truth sprouts green from the ground,

Right Living pours down from the skies!

Oh yes! God gives Goodness and Beauty;

our land responds with Bounty and Blessing.

Right Living strides out before him,

and clears a path for his passage.

Valentine Dinner At Sushi Tei @ Ipoh Parade.

My initial plan was to stay home and enjoy a nice big bowl of homemade soup for dinner and after that to catch up on my blogs visit and comment. But it was not to be and we ended up joining our friends for a Valentine dinner at Sushi Tei in Ipoh Parade. The decision to eat at Sushi Tei was a last minute decision. I am not familiar with the names of the food we ordered and we left the ordering to our friends. Anyway, the following were what we had for our dinner for 4 people.

This has purple potato in it.

Crispy fried fish skin salad.

Dipping sauce for crispy fish skin - sesame sauce.

These has tuna in the centre.

A bowl of ramen noodle.

Fried rice.

Crispy fried baby crabs.

This looks like mayonnaise, condiment for the crispy fried baby crabs.

Japanese dumplings and dipping sauce.

Our favourite condiment is this ginger pickles.

Tempura (crispy fried vegetables and mushrooms) with dipping sauce.

After a delightful dinner, we did some walking and window shopping.

We even walked over to the Weil Hotel.

Tea sets display.

Then we bade goodnight to our friends and we parted. A short while later, our friend called to invite us for a drink at STG in Ipoh old town.

We were just in time to order our drinks before the kitchen closes.

Groundnuts decoration at STG.

Coffee with hearts

Iced Sabah Tea with longan.

And a piece of cheese cake to share.

I snapped this picture before getting into our car. At that time I didn't notice that someone was spending some quiet moment by himself at this brightly lit up space. The fountain was not switched on at that time.

On that day you will say, "Praise the Lord!

He was angry with me, but now he comforts me.

See, God has come to save me! I will trust and not be afraid,

for the Lord is my strength and song; he is my salvation.

Oh, the joy of drinking deeply from the Fountain of Salvation!"

Lunch At Purple Moon Lover, Canning Garden, Ipoh.

We had earlier planned to take a drive to Sitiawan for a day trip on the 1st May, but it was cancelled at the last minute. So how did we celebrate Labour Day? We celebrated with an ex-colleague of mine. I called her up to invite her and her husband for lunch but only she can make it.

We went to pick up my friend from her house and drove to Canning Garden.  A friend mentioned this place to us and we mistakenly had the impression that this new place serves Western food but it was not. When hubby dropped us in front Purple Moon Lover, there was a slight drizzle. One nice young man came out to us with an umbrella for my friend and I. So caring and thoughtful of them.

It was lunch hour and the place was full. We were shown a bench for us to sit while waiting to be seated. I took this picture while sitting on the bench just outside the entrance.

Managed to take some snapshots of the interior from where we were seated.
