Lunch At 1 One Cafe, Taman Pengkalan Jaya, poh

We had a lunch date with our old friends. Our friend mentioned 1 One Cafe and asked me whether I know the way there. These days, we can just use the Waze app to take us where we want to go. The lunch was fixed on Thursday.

9:35am - The morning after a rainy night.

~~~~~

On our way to 1 One Cafe, we stopped to pick up our friends.

Interior of the cafe occupying a corner shop lot.

Including us, altogether there were 5 tables occupied at that lunch time. A friend later informed me that if the ground floor is filled up, they will open up the 1st floor to accommodate more customers.

The lunch sets are only for certain items as listed in the menu. The 4 of us ordered the set lunches which include a drink, a soup and a scoop of ice cream.

All 4 of us ordered lemon juice: 1 hot + 3 ice lemon juice.

Soup of the day: Thick and creamy mushroom soup. Taste great.

Mushroom pork chop @ RM17.90

Creamy salted egg chicken chop @ RM22.90

Cheesy Hawaiian chicken chop @ RM20.90

Chicken Maryland @ RM20.90

Chicken Maryland taken from a different angle.

We each had a scoop of ice cream: 2 strawberry & 2 mint flavour ice cream.

Total lunch for 4 people = RM113 (incl. 6% service tax).

Thanks to my friend for this lunch treat.

It was a very satisfying and filling lunch.

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world,

but be a new and different person

with a fresh newness in all you do and think.

They you will learn from your own experience

how his ways will really satisfy you.

2 Dinners At Weng Fatt Restaurant, Pasir Pinji, Ipoh

This post is about 2 dinners we had 2 days in a row at Weng Fatt Restaurant in Pasir Pinji.

On the 1st day:

The first day started at about 6:40am.

Sunrise

6:45am

6:50am

I stopped to take some snapshots of this strange looking plant that we passed by on our morning walk.

Google Lens identified this plant as Flueggea Virosa.

The plant contains alkaloids but has medicinal value. It has small white berries. The matured fruit will fall off from the bush. The fruit is edible and is juicy and sweet but with a slightly bitter taste.

6:10pm - It was a rainy evening.

Dinner with friends at Weng Fatt Restaurant in Pasir Pinji, Ipoh.

Steamed Tilapia in lime sauce, very appetizing dish.

Deep fried tofu.

Fried chicken with pickled ginger cubes, another appetizing dish.

Total cost of dinner for 4 people = RM62.

On the 2nd day.

After morning walk, we went out to Ipoh town because I need to go to the bank and after that we had breakfast

I ordered the above continental breakfast consisting of spaghetti, chicken chop, 2 sausages and salad. Hubby ordered pork noodle (no photo to show).

I received the above gift from a friend.

A pack of Arabica Brown Rice Coffee with organic soy milk.

2 sachets inside the packet.

This is my first time tasting this coffee.

I quite like the taste.

Ingredients: Brown rice, non-GMO soy bean powder, Arabica coffee powder, and fructose.

On the 2nd day evening, we had dinner date with a friend. Since we enjoyed the dinner at Weng Fatt restaurant the previous evening, we don't mind going back to the same place as it is very near to this friend. When we ordered the food, it was still early and bright. But when the food came, it was getting dark and it was only then we found out the some parts of the restaurant had no power supply. We were sitting in a place where the fan was working but without lighting. I took these photo with flashlight mode.

Steamed Tilapia with savoury sauce.

Our friend found it a bit too spicy for her taste.

Since we enjoyed the fried chicken with pickled ginger, we ordered it again.

Plain stir fried Chinese kai lan with garlic.

This dinner for 3 people cost RM64.60.

Lighted candles were provided for some tables but since we were sitting under the fan, the candle light will be blown out. The power supply only returned when we were half way through our dinner.

Lunch With Sisters At Asow Eatery Canteen, Ipoh

We were looking forward to this lunch outing which we have planned a few days ahead. A sister suggested Asow Eatery Canteen which is located at 187a, Jalan Sultan Iskandar (formerly Hugh Low Street), Taman Jubilee, Ipoh.

Being a weekday, there was no crowd.

We can pick and choose a nice table to enjoy our meal and fellowship.

Lots of indoor plants and nice decoration.

After going through the menu, we settled for the day's special set lunch.

3 sets of fish and chips.

Garlic bread.

Ice blended sour sop and soup of the day.

Fish (white tuna) and chips.

Side order - popcorn chicken.

Thanks to one sister who insisted on giving us this lunch treat.

Terrarium decoration in aquarium.

I saw some fishes in the water.

But when I drew near, they went to hide.

Small terrarium.

Google Lens identified this as Cananga odorata, aka ylang-ylang or cananga flower. This was planted outside the eatery.

Lunch At Blackburn Cafe, Falim, Ipoh

A friend and I had a pre CNY (Chinese New Year) shopping date last Thursday. We chose Billion Mart, Jelapang because she hasn't been there. By the time we pushed the trolley to the payment counter, the trolley was filled to the brim with mostly her stuffs. My stuffs took up only a small portion because I have been buying bit by bit on my morning walks.

By the time we carted everything into her car, it was time for a late lunch. She took me to Blackburn cafe at 45, Laluan Falim 1, Taman Falim Indah (near Aeon Big, Falim) which I haven't been to. Both of us opted for Set Lunch (includes drink and soup). No proper food description because I don't have the receipt with me. My friend insisted on picking up the tab for the lunch.

I chose hot lemon tea. If I am not mistaken my friend chose iced coffee.

Thick mushroom soup.

We ordered the above garden salad with Thai sauce to share.

My friend ordered the above (consisting of grilled chicken, spaghetti, mashed potato, fried egg with pepper sauce).

I went for the above (grilled chicken, potato fries, mashed potato, colesaw with Thai sauce). We took our time to enjoy our lunch and fellowship. When we saw that we were the last remaining customers and they were ready to close up for the afternoon session, we knew it was time to leave. Their business hours: 12pm-3pm, 6pm-10pm.

After a good trimming, my hibiscus plant is flowering again.

The trimming has encouraged more branches.

More branches means more flowers.

he is thrown away like a useless branch, withers,

and is gathered into a pile with all the others and burned.
