Lunch At Restoran Char Siew Yoong, Jalan Peel, Kuala Lumpur

This was the 3rd and last day in Semenyih. At about 11am, we drove out from Semenyih to Cheras. We have arranged to have lunch with elder son at Restoran Char Yoong, Jalan Peel.

We were ahead of the peak lunch hour so we were able to get a big table to accommodate 7 of us. By about 11:45am, customers have to wait to be seated.

We ordered 2 plates of their "melt-in-the mouth" char siew.

The "melt-in-the mouth" part is actually the fat part.

1 plate roast pork with crunchy skin.

Braised chicken feet.

This may seem gross to some but this is hubby's favourite dish. This used to be a cheap dish but now it is considered a delicacy to some people.

2 bowls of sweet sour mustard green aka choy keok.

This place is known for their "melt-in-the mouth" bbq pork or char siew.

Non-stop chopping of roast pork and bbq pork.

After lunch, we were taken to K.L. Sentral where we waited for our train.

We were early so we had some time to enjoy some coffee with our friends.

Thanks to our friends for their time and hospitability during our 3D2N stay with them. Some even took leave to spend time with us.

This was a wonderful and memorable time spent with our friends and our sons.

Our train departed from KL Sentral at 3pm sharp and we reached Ipoh at about 5:45pm. We had dinner at WK Claypot Chicken rice before going home. We didn't want to wait for the claypot rice so we ordered the ready cooked dishes and rice.

Sweet sour pork rib.

Chicken curry.

Sweet sour mustard green.

This is the 2nd time we had this dish but cooked differently.

I saw this antique phone at the lobby of a hotel in Penang that we stayed in.

A new Big Apple nursery & kindergarten in our area. Not sure if this is a new extension to the existing one which is behind this building.

Birthday Lunch At August Healing, Ipoh

We woke up to a cloudy morning. 

Sunrise at 7:05am.

This was a Monday and most eateries are closed on Mondays. Our friend finally found one that was open and we made our way to August Healing at No. 18A, Jalan Theatre, Ipoh.

We need to go up these steps.

Our friend ordered the above quiche and

something that looks like a scone with dried herbs and served with cream.

Someone ordered latte.

I ordered Earl Grey tea (refillable) and

this tiramisu cake.

The birthday boy ordered the above with chocolate topping and

the house's special bagel with filling.

It was a treat by his aunt for the young man's belated birthday celebration.

~~~~~

Our one dish home cookd dinner.

I used the whole bearded chicken and a bottle of raisin wine to cook this "Drunken Chicken Soup". Other ingredients used: wood fungus, red dates, goji berries, and ginger. With this soup, we had mee sua chicken wine soup. This portion was enough for 2 dinners. 

One of our morning walk, we came across this dog sitting by the roadside.

He was sitting so upright and all the focus on what was ahead of him. I guess it might be waiting for its owner who had gone across the road to the recreational park.

Such a smart looking dog on guard, staying so focus.

Coffee + Snacks At People's Park Chang Jiang White Coffee, Ipoh

After visiting the Tasek Cermin or Mirror Lake (here), we wanted some refreshment. A few places were mentioned and one of them is People's Park Chang Jiang, which our friends haven't been to. So, we drove to Ipoh old town.

The ladies ordered honey lemon.

Someone ordered unsweetened coffee-C with ice.

The glass jug came with the evaporated milk and ice cubes.

Another ordered unsweetened black coffee with ice.

A friend pouring the coffee into the jug.

We forgot to snap photo of the toast and 2 types of fried snacks that we ordered.

An old fashioned table lamp near us.

Traditional coffee/tea cloth filters.

Traditional metal door knockers used as drawer holders/pullers.

I like this traditional water jar.

An old fashioned dail phone.

Coffee tin with coffee/tea cup and saucer.

You can get free coffee/tea tasting and after that make your purchase.

As we were walking to our car, we passed by this cute kitty car.

Breakfast At Bercham Great Wall Kopitiam, Ipoh

We had a breakfast appointment with friends.

After our morning walk, we went to pick up our friends for breakfast. The first place we went to was closed. The 2nd place (popular Bercham curry noodle) we went to, there was a long queue waiting. We then drove to the Bercham Great Wall Kopitiam. The place was also packed but we managed to get a table for 4 people.

A friend and I ordered steamed rolled noodle (Hong Kong chee cheong fun). For filling, I chose prawns with celery. The sambal is very nice. Hubby and a friend ordered fried noodle. The fried noodles came late and we forgot to take snapshot. A friend bought the following cakes or kuih from another stall for us to share.

Steamed tapioca cake. We like this kuih.

Yam cake.

Pulut bakar (3 pieces, 2 eaten).

Pulut rice with grated coconut and sambal filling wrapped with banana leaf.

2 cups of hot Latte coffee and 2 glasses of warm water.

For lunch, we had groundnuts (boiled in water and salt).

For dinner, we had leftover stuffed white bitter gourd, wild boar curry bought from an Indian rice stall and home cooked broccoli with minced pork + fish paste.

Wall mural: Traditional game played by children.

We used to play this game when we were kids. I think most kids these days no longer play this game. They are more into electronic games, hardly sweating playing outdoor games.

Linking to Monday Mural.

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,

continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him,

strengthened in the faith as you were taught,

and overflowing with thankfulness.

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow

and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition

and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
