Rice Porridge, Fried Noodle & Bubur Cha Cha For Lunch

We usually have noodles for breakfast. Once in a while, we will go for dim sum. Sometimes, we will stay home and have a light breakfast such as bread and coffee and usually by midday, we will be feeling hungry. It is on one such day that we had the following for lunch.

A bowl of rice porridge with peanuts & dried mussels.

Fried economy or vegetarian rice vermicelli.

Deep fried enoki mushrooms and chives crispies, prawn fritters and stuffed bitter melon, 

A bowl of bubur cha cha (yam and sweet potatoes in coconut milk)

It was a simple but filling lunch.

precious Cornerstone of my church,

and I will never disappoint those who trust in him."

I wonder how many of you remember these items. The older generation will remember these square compact powder and Florida Water in bottles.

The fragrant Florida water is soothing and has antiseptic properties. Helps prevent heatstroke, heat, baby's prickly heat, mosquito bites and etc.

Lunch At Dong Cafe, Ipoh.

How does it feel on the first day of the New Year 2019? To me, it is just like any normal day.

Two weeks ago in the middle of December last year (sounds like a long time ago), hubby returned home from work and asked me out for lunch. I remembered Dong Cafe and quickly mentioned this place. My friends and I went once but turned out it was their off day. There is a side entrance to the cafe which is on the right and a gift shop on the left. Visitors can shop at the gift shop. The handicrafts are made by Persatuan DAYBREAK, a vocational training centre for People with Disabilities.

Okay, back to the Dong Cafe. We ordered the following for our lunch. Anything spicy such as Chicken Rendang and Nyonya Laksa always attract me.

Signature Blue Rice with Nyonya Chicken Rendang @ RM 22.00

Nyonya Laksa @ RM 16.00

It was served with a calamansi lime in a cute "duck" saucer.

Squeeze and add the calamansi juice for the extra omph!

Just looking at this picture makes me drool.

Bubur Cha Cha @ RM 5.00

Thick coconut milk and generous amount of ingredient.

Next visit, hope the ingredient will be softer.

Earl Grey Supreme Tea @ RM 9.00

Request for hot water unlimited.

Total cost for lunch - RM 52.00

For God says, "Your cry came to me at a favourable time,

when the doors of welcome were wide open.

I helped you on a day when salvation was being offered."

Right now God is ready to welcome you.

Today he is ready to save you.

(2 Corinthians 6:2, The Living Bible-TLB)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019 !!!
