Dine Out With Friends At Restoran Wong Sheng, Ipoh

Since we had food in the fridge, we returned home for breakfast after our morning walk.

Sunrise at 7am.

I put water to boil to make hot drink and re-steamed the buns given by our neighbour.

We also had vegetarian roll which I bought from a roadside stall.

~~~~~

It was our dine-out night with friends. If we don't have any new suggestion, then we go back to one our favourite eateries. So back to Restoran Wong Sheng in Desa Rishah, Ipoh.

Fried Tilapia fish with special savoury sauce.

This is one of their signature dish.

Steamed taro with pork belly.

This is also their signature dish, a hot selling item.

Assorted vegetable with salted egg yolk.

The crispy lotus root slices is our favourite item.

Food is good and price reasonable.

I think for our next visit, we must make a point to order other new dishes to try instead of these same dishes.

Open air seating when the weather is good.

Fried Rice Vermicelli, Herbal Pan Mee & Dinner With Friends

A lovely morning to start off the new day.

Sunrise at 7am.

After morning walk, stopped at one of the coffee shop for breakfast.

At this coffee shop, hubby usually orders the fried rice vermicelli. On days when the boss is busy with many orders, he will only get to eat fried koay teow. Sometimes when the boss is in good mood, he will get extra prawns.

At first, I wanted to order toast but when I smelt the herbal soup, I changed my mind and ordered herbal pan mee. Ingredients consist of noodle, green veggie (mani cai), wood fungus, fried anchovies, minced meat, herbal soup.

This was our breakfast. Our next main meal will be dinner. In between we will have something light.

We had dinner with friends We tried to book a table for 4 people but 1 place was closed and the other was fully booked. We finally ended up at Restoran Wong Sheng.

Blanched Romaine Lettuce.

Their signature steamed taro & pork belly.

Assorted vegetables. My favourite is the crispy fried lotus root slices.

Steamed Tilapia fish in spicy sauce.

The fish was head partially covered by the sauce.

Overall, it was a satisfying dinner.

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.

Prawn Noodle & Curry Noodle At #884, Jalan Queen, Pasir Pinji, Ipoh

After having tasted the food at this riverside village eatery at the end of Jalan Queen with our friend (you can click here for the post), we wanted to go back to try other varieties. Our friends couldn't make it so it was just only hubby and I.

We ordered a glass of herbal tea and a cup of unsweetened black coffee.

Prawn noodle for me.

Curry noodle for hubby.

It was a satisfying breakfast for both of us.

We will be returning again to try other varieties.

While waiting for our breakfast to be served, I was busy take photos of the playful dogs.

Sons vigorous and tall as growing plants.

Daughters of graceful beauty like the pillars of a palace wall.

Barns full to the brim with crops of every kind.

Sheep by the thousands out in our fields.

Oxen loaded down with produce.

No enemy attacking the walls, but peace everywhere.

No crime in our streets.

Yes, happy are those whose God is Jehovah.

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.

More wild mushrooms growing from another old tree stump.

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.

Dinner

Sometimes, I couldn't think of what to cook. Actually, I was thinking of yam with pork belly. The last time we had this was in April this year when we were able to dine-in with our friends. That was before the full lockdown.

I called up the restaurant to order 2 portions of yam with pork belly (about RM18 per portion). I gave 1 portion to our neighbour.

I only cooked the above dish: cabbage, carrot, 2 ladies fingers and spring onion from my garden.

The above photo of the old Lido cinema was taken in 1957.

This image was on display at the UTC Ipoh in 2015.

The Lido cinema is no longer in operation but the building remains.

and he will always carry out his promises to us.
