Dinner At Restoran Xi Lai Kitchen, Menglembu

Again we have to cancel our morning walk because it was drizzling. Even though we were early, reaching Ipoh old town at about 7:20am, the coffee shop that hubby wanted to go for the curry noodle was fully packed with customers. So, we decided to go to Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong. I can't remember when it was the last time we were here, must have been many years.

We ordered 2 unsweetened coffee (kopi-c kosong).

2 plates of bbq pork wan ton noodle (char siew wanton mee).

Minced pork dumplings (wan tan).

My cranberry hibiscus plants are growing tall and blooming again.

That evening, we had dine-out dinner with friends. We went to a place in Menglembu new township which we have not been before.

We ordered pork belly with salted fish in claypot.

Crispy fried salted herbal chicken - half a chicken.

Fried brinjal with salted egg yolk.

We enjoyed the dinner very much and this place is worth revisiting.

Menu on the wall.

Comfortable place, not very crowded.

Lunch At Wong's Kopitiam, Ipoh

This was a Thursday. 

Sunrise at 6:55am.

Starting out on our morning walk - 6:55am.

Morning sky at 7:05am.

7:10am

7:15am.

Someone recommended a new kopitiam to us, so hubby and I went to Wong's Kopitiam for lunch. We saw 4 men waiting outside and one of them told us that we will have to wait to be seated. 2 men didn't want to wait and they left. Since we were already there, we might as well wait. We needn't have to wait long, probably about 10 minutes.

Menu for rice or noodles.

Drinks and "tong sui".

I was looking forward to enjoy "bubur cha cha" but was told that it was not available that day. So disappointed.

We didn't order any of the above dessert because there were only 2 of us. While waiting for the food to be served, I took some snapshots from where I was seated.

Side wall.

Back wall. I was seated facing the back.

Behind me.

Floral enamel mug for holding cultery.

Since bubur cha cha was not available, I ordered sweet potato tong sui (sweet potato boiled in water with ginger and sugar added) - RM4.90

Hubby ordered iced lemon tea - RM4.90

Hubby ordered nasi lemak with fried chicken - RM12.90

Hubby enjoyed the nasi lemak and the fried chicken is nice too, not dry.

I didn't want rice, so I ordered fried beehoon with chicken curry - RM12.90

The fried beehoon looks plain but it was nice eaten with the sambal.

Thick and "lemak" chicken curry.

Total lunch = RM37.70

Wong's Kopitiam (opens from 9am to 5pm).

B-G-7, Jalan Dato Tahwil Azhar, Taman Jubilee.

That evening, we had a late dinner at Cheong Kee Wan Tan Mee in Buntong.

We ordered 2 plates of wan tan noodle (dry version).

Dry version is served with some pork strips.

When eating wan tan mee, the pickled green chili is a must have item.

Wan tan (minced pork dumplings) in clear soup (this is plus size).

The dumplings have been reduced to almost half of its former size.

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.
