Dinner & Refreshing Cold Desserts At Shun Ming, Jalan Pasir Pinji.

The first evening when we turned up with our friends at Shun Ming, the place was so packed we have to go elsewhere for dinner. My friends don't give up easily. So for the second trip, we make sure we were there early to beat the dinner crowd. It was a Friday evening and we were there before 6 pm. We ordered 3 dishes for 4 people.

Pig's Trotter with salted fish in clay pot.

Steamed Red Tilapia with spicy and savoury sauce.

The fish swimming in the sauce.

Ahhh...the shot taken from this angle looks better.

Stir fried Romaine Lettuce (yau mak) in fermented bean curd.

We made a mistake by ordering these cold desserts too early. We should have order after we finished our dinner. We have to hurriedly finish our dinner before the ice cream and ice shaving started to melt.

Our friend wanted to taste the Ice Kacang.

I have tasted this before and I know this is good. We ordered one to share.

The portion is big and enough for 4 people to share. It is loaded with different types of fruits. Now my friends preferred Mixed Fruit Ice to the Ice Kacang.

Hallelujah! O servants of Jehovah, praise his name.

Blessed is his name forever and forever.

Praise him from sunrise to sunset!

For he is high above the nations;

his glory is far greater than the heavens.

Delish Dinner & Good Fellowship At Restoran Kristal Jade, Gopeng.

It all started with a phone conversation in the afternoon. Then the opposite side suggested going out together for dinner. The more the merrier and also we can order more dishes to try. We had a few places in mind and finally we decided on driving all the way to Gopeng. We were still quite full from our lunch, so we planned dinner to be about 8 pm.

It was a lovely evening when we drove out to pick up our friends.

It was a leisure drive from Ipoh to Gopeng. We reached just 2 minutes to 8 pm.

Our first visit was about a year ago. Click here to see what we ordered. There was a 2nd trip but no post to show because the photos didn't turned up well.

About 10 minutes later this recommended cold dish was served.

Its pig's trotter, with a layers of meat, fat and skin.

It was served with sweet and sour dippings. It was very appetizing.

It was followed by this stewed fish head with bitter melon cooked with preserved black beans dish.

This is the same dish taken from a different angle to show the deep fried fish head pieces.

Our favourite dish, steamed yam and pork belly with fermented red bean curd (wu tau kau yoke).

4 types of beans fried with spicy prawn paste (sambal belacan).

(stinky beans, long beans, okra or ladies fingers and 4 angled beans)

Dinner inclusive of rice and Chinese tea = MYR 66.40

Total cost of dinner plus 6% GST = MYR 70.40 (≈17.06 USD).

Wisdom is far more valuable than gold and glass.

It cannot be bought for jewels mounted in fine gold.

Coral or crystal is worthless in trying to get it;

its price is far above rubies.
