Dinner At Sun Hung Ting Restaurant, Ipoh

After our early morning walk, we had breakfast appointment with friends at Kedai Kopi Tasek Indra in Bercham, Ipoh. It was a Saturday morning but we were early (about 7:30am) so there was no problem getting a table for 6 people.

Hubby had kai si hor fun or shredded chicken flat rice noodle with smoked duck.

I had fish noodle (thick rice vermicelli).

For lunch, hubby and I together with a friend went to Restoran Kar Heng for rice porridge.

While waiting for the porridge to be served, our friend walked over to Restoran Embassy to buy the above sweet cake or Nyonya kuih.

2 bowls of plain rice porridge.

I was not hungry so hubby and I shared a bowl of porridge.

A plate of fried fresh water fish for sharing.

Just a light lunch because we were looking forward to dinner with friends.

We already called Restoran Sun Hung Ting to reserve a table for 8 people.

Even though it was raining heavily that evening, all tables were taken.

We ordered the following dishes.

Signature tofu: fried tofu with topping.

3 flavoured fried (fall off the bone) pork rib.

Home Cooked Vegetables And Prawns Curry

Our friend goes to the wholesale market about twice a week. We requested for her to look out for fresh prawns and if the price is reasonable, to buy a kilo for us. Whenever she sees nice, fresh prawns, she will buy for us and will inform us to collect from her stall. This arrangement saves me the trip to the wet market.

Last Wednesday, I took out some of the prawns from the freezer to cook assorted vegetables and prawns curry. I cooked enough for 2 meals and also for blessing our neighbour and our friend who helped us buy the prawns.

Simple lunch for 2 people.

I used whatever vegetables I can find in my fridge such as cabbage, French beans, carrot, cut pineapple, tomatoes, onions, prawns and coconut milk to cook curry with a packet of A1's ready made seafood curry paste.

Hubby went out to meet his friend and he came back with a piece of deep fried chicken he bought from the nearby food court. He didn't even realized that he bought a piece of breast meat. We shared this piece of fried chicken.

Our friend gave us this steamed bun (tai pau). I re-heated it by steaming and had it for lunch.

Simple lunch for 2 people.

After lunch, we went to the phone shop to top up my prepaid umobile.

While waiting for the lady at the counter to attend to us, I took snapshot of the decorative items on their display shelves.
