Day 1.
On Monday, we planned to go for some jelly desserts but found out that it was their rest day. And at the last minute, one of our foodie friend was held up by a visitor to her house and she could not join us on this foodie adventure.
So the two of us ended up at a place we didn't planned for. My foodie friend who brought me here knows the boss and his wife of this eatery, Restoran Chong Kok Wah Tou Guan.

As we walked into the shop, right in front of us were trays of black jelly,
called Gui Ling Gao, direct translation is Tortoise Jelly or Turtle Jelly.
Traditionally, this jelly was made from the bottom shell of a type of turtle together with a variety of herbal products.
But the present day jelly powder sold commercially does not contain the turtle shells but has the same herbal products, and are taken as medicine for skin complexion, as well as a herbal dessert.
I ordered this sweet dessert - chilled water chestnut with corn.
On this side were listed all the food items available for the day.
They were all written in Chinese, my friend had to translate them for me.
We ordered Savoury Yam Rice (my favourite) to share.
Very, very flavourful and delicious.
Menu for most of the food items are displayed on the wall.

Day 2.
The next day, the three of us were able to meet up and we went to JellyBar for coconut desserts in Bercham. I will be putting up the post on JellyBar at a later date. From JellyBar, we went back to this same place to introduce this place to our friend who was not with us the previous day.
This time we ordered a few variety of desserts to share.
On the left is the Chrysanthemum and Goji berry jelly.
On the right is the Lou Han Guo jelly.
A piece of Water Chestnut agar-agar or jelly to share.
The lady boss preparing our main dishes of rice and noodles.
My friend's Lam Yee Pai Kuat rice with cucumber slices.
(Pork rib stewed with red fermented bean curd)
Another friend ordered the Savoury Yam Rice.
Definitely worth going back for this flavourful and delicious yam rice.
And here's my order - Kat Chai Kai mein or Calamansi Chicken Noodle.
It is sourish, a bit spicy and a bit sweet and very appetizing!
After eating this whole plate of noodle, I felt like I have not eaten at all!
So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas.
Your spiritual strength comes as a gift from God,
not from ceremonial rules about eating certain foods -
a method which, by the way, hasn't helped those who have tried it!
(Hebrews 13:9, TLB)
