Lunch At Public House Food Court, Taman Ipoh Timur

Rain or shine, we must have our breakfast. On this particular morning, we want to return to Double Three Cafe in Menglembu new township for our breakfast.

I ordered claypot noodle (yee mee). Yee mee is pre-fried noodle.

Ingredients: Yee mee, napa cabbage, minced meat balls, fish paste, fish cake and 1 egg.

Hubby ordered wanton mee with stewed pork leg.

The wanton mee with beansprouts, minced meat and sauce. It was served with a plate of pickled green chili.

Stewed pork leg with dried chili.

Freshly fried Chinese doughnut (ma keok and hum chim peng). Customers will be waiting at the stalls for these fast selling fried Chinese crullers and doughnuts.

A friend recommended Public House Food Court to us. It is at Jalan Medan Ipoh 2, Taman Ipoh Timur.

Hubby ordered flat rice noodle with egg gravy (wat tan hor).

I ordered stewed pork rib with peanuts. It came with 2 pieces of tofu and 1 hard boiled egg.

And a plate of white rice with a few pieces of sliced cucumber.

We don't know if we will return because this place is quite far from our house.

An old fashioned house front with pre-war designs in Penang.

Lunch At Tan Cha Kee Cafe, Ipoh

A friend shared this eatery with me on Whatsapp and later another friend had lunch at the same eatery and shared photos of the food they ate with me. I was keen to try so we went for lunch 2 Mondays ago. The name of the eatery is Tan Cha Kee at 104C, Jalan Chung Ah Ming, Taman Hoover, Ipoh.

There is no big signboard of the eatery on the outside. I used Waze app to show me the exact location of this eatery. You will need to go up the stairs on the right side.

We were seated and received the menus. At that time there were other customers having their lunch, so I didn't take any photos of the interior.

This was brought to our table. The hot water in the enamel mug is for sterilizing, to clean tableware.

I ordered plain drinking water @ RM0.80 and it came in the beige colour enamel mug.

If I am not mistaken, hubby ordered honey lime water @ RM4.50 and it was served in the blue enamel mug. Using enamel mugs and plates seems to be the current trend.

Hubby ordered herbal chicken rice at RM14.90. There is a steamed whole chicken leg (free range chicken), rice, 1 hard boiled egg, cucumber slices and some blended ginger. The herbal chicken is flavourful. You can even order a whole herbal chicken for take away if you are interested.

I ordered chicken rendang with ramen noodle @ RM14.90. 

There is ramen noodle, whole chicken leg rendang, 1 fried egg, fried peanuts, cucumber slices and some shredded pickles. Since hubby don't eat hard boiled egg, I took the hard boiled egg and gave me the fried egg. Overall, it was a satisfying and filling lunch.

After the other customers left, I started to take some snapshots of the interior.

When my friend came with his family, they were given a room.

The decoration makes the place looks like an old fashioned tea house in the old days.

Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;

you fools, when will you become wise?

The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.

Lunch At XiWei, Ipoh

It looks like the rainy season is back. Last 2 nights were cool enough to sleep without using the air con.

This was last Saturday morning at about 7:40am.

At about 12:30, we went to pick up our friends for lunch. Just as we out out of our car in front of XiWei 1898, Mdan Ipoh Bestari, Ipoh, it started to rain.

Hot pandan lemon drink (refillable) included with all main sets (for dine-in only). Love this fragrant drink.

Hubby - Sambal Petai Nasi Lemak @ RM14.50

Friend A - Sambal Chili Fish Nasi Lemak @ RM16.50

This is their weekend special.

Friend B - Fish Balls Soup Ramen @ RM14.90

Minced meat dry ramen @ RM14.90 for me.

My dry ramen came with 2 fish balls in clear soup.

By the time we have finished our lunch, the rain has stopped.

Happy are those who are strong in the Lord,

who want above all else to follow your steps.

When they walk through the Valley of Weeping,

it will become a place of springs where pools of blessing

and refreshment collect after rains!

They will grow constantly in strength,

and each of them is invited to meet with the Lord in Zion.

Lunch At Dong Tai Kopitiam,

We managed to get 4 ex-colleagues (retirees) together for lunch.

We went in one car and I was the driver for that day.

We were supposed to have Western lunch but found the place closed. Then someone suggested another place, found that place closed too but we found one kopitiam just opposite which was open.

Dong Tai Kopitiam

46 (Grd Flr) Jalan Foo Eng Lin, Jalan Pasir Puteh, Ipoh.

There is free parking available in front of the kopitiam. We were just in time to get a table for 4 people. Those that came after us have to wait to be seated because it was peak lunch hour.

Iced coffee O for a coffee lover. No, not me.

Milo

Ginkgo and barley sweet drink - 2 bowls.

Not too sweet, just nice for us.

We ordered 5 types of food for sharing.

Salted fish fried bihun.

Homemade dry noodle with fried pork lard.

Nasi Kukus Ayam Berempah.

Steamed rice + fried chicken with spices.

Kaya + butter toast

Nyonya kuih - you will have to pick your choices at the counter.

Total cost for all the above food is RM63.

Thanks ladies. Looking forward to our next food outing.

No, dear brothers, I am still not all I should be,

but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing:

Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,

I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize

for which God is calling us up to heaven

because of what Christ Jesus did for us.

Pork Rib Sui Kao Wonton Noodle, Curry Puffs & Lotus Root Soup

We didn't go for morning walk because it rained early this morning. It was forecasted that there was rain but it didn't. Hopefully the dry spell is over and the rain will be back so that I can start to grow some new edibles in my garden.

This was last Thursday morning at 7:20am taken during our morning walk.

7:28am

This was one of the hot days.

~~~~~

Hubby wanted to eat our favourite wonton noodle in town.

There were only 3 customers ahead of us. It was only about 8:20am but we were told that wonton dumplings were sold out.

So we ordered wonton noodle with sweet sour pork rib and sui kao.

This wonton noodle is special because it is thinner than others.

This soup is extra flavourful. We don't get thirsty drinking this soup so it could not be due to msg added.

The lady boss is very generous with the pickled green chili.

Somehow I will finish all.

Hubby stopped on the way to buy RM10 worth of roast pork.

I kept the roast pork in the fridge for dinner.

Deep pink Balsam plants in my front garden.

Balsam plants do not last long but they are self-propagating.

I bought a small pack of large size cookies (hup toh soh in Cantonese).

Very nice and crumbly. I can only eat half of it at one time.

Chinese rojak for lunch.

I finally get down to making curry puff with the ready made puff pastry skin that was sitting in the freezer. For the filling, I used chicken breast meat, potatoes, onions and curry powder. These were kept in the fridge. Whenever I want some for breakfast, lunch or snack, I will reheat whatever I need in the oven.

Home cooked dinner for 2 people.

Blanched baby pak choy, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Lotus root, carrot, red dates, goji berries, a small dried cuttlefish and chicken bones. The soup is full of natural sweetness. I do not used msg because it causes headache and makes me thirsty. I shared the soup with our neighbour as they have gone back to work full time.

Old fashioned fire wood stove at the Antong Coffee Mill in Taiping.
