Yummy Breakfast At Poh Poh Place, Ipoh.

One Wednesday morning of last month, hubby and I, together with 2 other friends drove to Ipoh Garden East looking for Restoran Poh Poh Place. This place was recommended to me by a friend who stays in Bercham. 

Restoran Poh Poh Place - Tel: 016-5013639.

Laluan Perajurit 1, Taman Ipoh Timur.

Off day - Thursday.

It was only 8.40 am but the tables both inside the restaurant and outside were all taken. We waited for a while to get a table on the 5 foot way outside the restaurant.

The lady in red does all the cooking.

Before you can order, first go get a number and a menu will be given to you by one of the helper behind the lady in red. Just wait at your table. When your turn comes, someone will come to take your order. There were 4 of us and we each ordered different noodle to try.

Hubby ordered this Mixed Pork Offal soup noodle.

Friend A ordered another version of Pork Offal soup noodle.

Yuet Por Fun/Noodle

I couldn't decide between Tom Yam noodle or this Yuet Por noodle.

Finally Yuet Por noodle won and I am glad I ordered this.

Yuet Por Fun

This traditional egg and ginger omelette with meat and offal is cooked with fragrant sesame oil and rice wine is usually eaten by local Chinese women during the one month post-natal period. I really enjoyed this bowl of drunken soup noodle. I almost got drunk eating and finishing off all the soup so rich with rice wine.

Friend B ordered Fish Head Soup Noodle.

This was the last to be served and when it was brought to our table, it was "Wow! Such a big bowl!" There is so much treasure inside this bowl that Friend B needed Friend A to help him out. 

While waiting for friend A & B to enjoy that big bowl of noodle, I snapped pictures of these pretty bowls. Not all eateries use ceramic bowls and plates these days.

After breakfast, we walked down the shops to take a look.

We came upon this glutinous rice dumplings and kueh shop.

All the other dumplings were sold out except for the healthy Millet Dumplings. Instead of glutinous rice, the dumplings are made of millet. I bought one to try.

I steamed the dumpling and we ate it for lunch.

It tasted like the normal glutinous dumpling except there was no glutinous rice.

Dear brothers, you are only visitors here.

Since your real home is in heaven,

I beg you to keep away from the evil pleasures of this world;

they are not for you, for they fight against your very souls.

Golden Girls Had Home Style Cooking For Lunch In Pasir Pinji, Ipoh.

It was the last Saturday of August that the golden girls met again and this round, we had something to do in Pasir Puteh. Some of us preferred eating noodles to rice but it was not easy to find tasty noodles during lunch hours. I remembered a friend sharing about a place where they serve both rice and noodles and the place is near to where we were. I am not sure of the exact location, so one of the golden girls showed the way. Even though she passes by this place almost everyday, she has not tried the food yet.

This place is known as "愛回 家 comehome Love Homestay". It is a home converted into a homestay and also served as an eatery. While waiting for the food to be served, a friend and I looked around and we even went up to the rooftop while the other two remained at the table to chat.

A cloudy day.

View from the rooftop. A mixture of the old and new roofs.

 The living room converted into a dining hall.

 This table behind us which was not occupied.

 Wall decorations 

 Wall decorations and stairway railing.

 We found these on the rooftop.

Very suitable for holding bbq party in the evening if it doesn't rain.

 Or maybe a steamboat or hotpot gathering.

Roof tiles serving as shoes rack.

We ordered the following dishes to share.

Yummy and flavourful stir fried noodles - single portion.

Delicious seafood noodle in soup

 Fish head noodle - the salted veggie was too fibrous and pieces too big to bite. 

 This was a mistake. Not sure whose mistake but it could possible be ours.  We thought we ordered fish head curry noodle but it turned out to be just fish head curry without the noodle. This curry no oomph because it was too watery.

Sweet dessert - red bean sweet porridge.

Sweet dessert - pumpkin and snow fungus.

Looking forward to return to taste the other home cooked dishes.

"In that day," says the Lord,

"I will answer the pleading of the sky for clouds,

to pour down water on the earth in answer to its cry for rain.

Then the earth can answer the parched cry of the grain, the grapes,

and the olive trees for moisture and for dew -

and the whole grand chorus shall sing together that

"God sows!' He has given all!

(Hosea 2:21-22, The Living Bible-TLB)

Lunch At KK Coffee Shop In Tanah Hitam, Chemor

At last our foodie trip to Tanah Hitam came to past on Friday. Thanks to our friend we enjoyed a smooth journey and our foodie trip was a success.

We took a left turn where there is a yellow arch. 

A short distance from the arch, we found the eateries. 

 The foodie places are near to each other.

This round, our friend recommended KK Coffee Shop.
 We arrived at 12.30 pm, just in time before the shop closes at 1.00 pm.  I was attracted to some pretty cute paintings on the walls. 

All we need is love, joy......

  What a sweet way to welcome their customers!

All the yummy treasures are hidden under the ice shaving.

It is then sweetened with palm syrup and evaporated milk - to be shared by 3.

 This is what we came for.

This special noodle is the Confinement woman's noodle (yuet por fun).

This bowl consists of rice vermicelli, minced meat, prawns, pig's liver slices, minced meat omelette, veggie and etc. Filled with nutrition.

Fish head noodle with veggie.

 Initially, we ordered these 2 bowls to be shared by 3 of us. 

 Then we decided to add another bowl of drunken prawns noodle to our order. 

  And we ended up with all these as lunch for 3 people.

We requested for extra Chinese wine to be added to the noodles.

It came in the red bowl.

 By the time we finished our lunch, it was past 1.00 pm.

The place was ready to close for the day.

The haze was really bad on that day, but it didn't stop us from meeting up to enjoy lunch and good company.

Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud
and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable.
Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us
all we need for our enjoyment.
