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.

Comfortable place, not very crowded.

Dinner at Restoran Mun Ji, Menglembu. Halfway through dinner, there was a heavy downpour. We ordered the following dishes.

Fish curry with assorted vegetables and tofu puffs (small size) - RM35. We never fail to order this dish. This is the only place I will always take-away or "tapau" the remaining curry back home.

This is also another dish that we must order - Green amaranth with 3 types of eggs (salted egg, century egg & normal chicken egg) - RM15

For a change, we ordered salted fish pork belly in clear pot - RM16. This is a very appetizing dish and hubby had 2nd helping of rice. Total cost of dinner for 4 people - RM74.20

It was still drizzling when we got into the car. Currently, this place only opens for dinner. We usually go early to avoid the peak dinner crowd.

~~~~~

The next day home cooked dinner.

With the remaining curry that I took away, I added in some chicken breast slices, carrot, and home grown tomatoes.

Blanched broccoli.

For hubby, I cooked instant noodle without adding the flavouring.

To clear the last 3 remaining pieces of bread from the fridge, I toasted the bread. Simple and enjoyable dinner on a cool, rainy evening.

A friend who visited the Taiping zoo, sent me some photos.

I will avoid going near this place if I were in the zoo.

Enjoyable Dinner At Restoran Eipoh, Ipoh

We were invited by our friends to join them for dinner on Sunday evening.

We were to meet at the restaurant at 6:30pm.

Our friends were there before us and the dishes were ordered so we needn't have to wait long for the food to be served.

Our favourite - Steamed taro with pork belly.

Grouper fish slices with ginger slices and spring onions.

Sweet potato leaves sauteed with garlic and salt.

Flavourful and appetizing pork belly slices with salted fish.

Halfway through our dinner, it rained and stopped just before we finished dinner. We will be meeting again soon for breakfast one of these days.

Driving home after dinner at 7:35pm.

We were surprised to find an old public phone booth still standing. The phone is intact but no longer working. Sorry for the not so clear picture because I took this snapshot at 6:50am.

This is a very appetizing dish.

An assorted vegetable dish @ RM8.

Dinner At Wah Xing Restaurant, Taman Boon Bak, Ipoh

Yesterday morning at about 6:25 am, we started our morning walk. We were not alone, there was another man who did his daily jogging around the blocks of houses in front of ours.

I don't know whether you will be able to see the jogging man in the above photo.

That is hubby walking in front of me with a backpack on his back, holding a walking stick to ward off any attack of stray dogs.

Reached the park at about 6:50 am.

After our walk, we went to a nearby coffee shop for breakfast.

I didn't take any snapshots because we didn't order anything special.

Dining out with friends.

We went to 2 restaurants and found them closed. So we finally settled for Wah Xing Restaurant at Taman Boon Bak, Ipoh. In accordance to the requirement of social distancing, we were given 2 tables put together to accommodate 6 people.

Fried tofu with minced pork.

Steamed Red Tilapia with savoury sauce.

Sauteed baby green vegetables with garlic.

Pork belly slices with salted fish in clay pot. This appetizing dish was almost covered by the generous amount of garnishing. I have to push some of the greens to the side to take this snapshot.

What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven!

What joys when sins are covered over!

What relief for those who have confessed their sins

and God has cleared their record.
