Kafe Teen, Ipoh

As it's been quite a while since we patronise Kafe Teen, we decided to go there for breakfast one Saturday morning. According to Dad, his order of prawn noodles was quite disappointing. No 'prawny' taste. Looks can be deceiving, heh? Sis'order of Siamese fried bee hoon with chicken rendang from the Malay lady was not bad but a bit on the expensive side lor. My order of chee cheong fun was not to my liking at all. Aiyah, gluey, lah. Why must some people put so much starch into the sauce, hah? Something which I hate.
Kafe Teen is located behind Domino's Pizza in Medan Ipoh Bistari.

Restoran Nasi Kandar Nasmir, Ipoh

The aunt got a sudden craving for mutton curry and so.......off we go to the nearest nasi kandar shop. Restoran Nasi Kandar Nasmir at Jalan Medan Ipoh 2, Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh opposite Tesco.My order of squid curry, fried chicken and stir fry long beans with the rice flooded with all sorts curry gravy was 'hou sik'. The squid was not chewy at all and the fried chicken was good too. As for the stir fry long beans, it was done just the way I like it; the long beans being nice and crunchy. The aunt's and dad's order of mutton curry with cabbages got the thumbs up from both of them. The mutton was tender while the cabbages were sweet and crunchy. Ho chiak.

Lot 10 Hutong, Kuala Lumpur

After spending the whole morning shopping at the Bukit Bintang area, we decided to pop into Lot 10 Hutong for lunch. Yikes! Lots of people already. Ahhh......finally managed to find an empty table after walking round and round and round. Err......what to order ah? Okay, Penang Assam Laksa from Chua Brothers (Stall H3). Wow, almost as good as in Penang. A bit spicy for some but.....not for me, heh, heh. Ho chiak. How about Duck Egg Penang Char Koay Teow from Yummy M & M (didn't get the stall number. Sorry.)? Hou sik. One of the best char koay teow outside Penang. Spicy too. Just my cup of tea, hah.Why not try the Imbi Road Pork Noodles (Stall H8A)? Yum, yum. Prefer the dry version more than the soup version. Don't know why.

Gua Tempurung and Char Koay Teow, Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur

On a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, we stopped by at Gua Tempurung to check out the place. On first sight, the area was OK but when we reached the ticket counter, we were surprised to find it closed. It was already 9.30 a.m. and there, written very clearly on the signboard, was a notice telling all and sundry that the place is supposed to open at 9.00 a.m. After 10 minutes, another place opened and surprise, surprise..........they were selling tickets from there. Anyway, after purchasing our tickets, we were told to wait for the ranger to take us into the cave. After 10 minutes of waiting, we were finally told to follow another ranger who was taking a huge group of people who were taking the whole tour (yup, the one where you have to squeeze in and out and between small cracks and get thoroughly wet). As our group has aged members, we took the easy tour ie part way only. So, we were left to our own devices while the ranger was very much far ahead with his group. What impression this will give to tourists, I don't know. But, the place is beautiful. This, nobody can deny. Only the service is somewhat lacking............as usual.

Anyway, as it was almost time for lunch when we reached Kuala Lumpur, we decided to stop for lunch in Chinatown (yup, I know, Chinatown again) before proceeding to our hotel. Having decided on Tang City Food Court at Jalan Hang Lekir, we set about ordering our lunch. Koon Kee Wantan Noodles and Penang Char Koay Teow. The char koay teow arrived in a jiffy. They are willing to fry the noodles with chilli, so, they are in my good books already. That aside, the char koay teow was yum, yum. Very tasty and flavourful. Enough 'wok hei', you know, and not too dry. Could easily eat another plate if my tummy wasn't full already, heh, heh.

Observations Of a Food Blob (6)

Have you ever wondered (if you haven't already), how some people can bring themselves to abuse defenceless children and animals and bully those who are perceived to be weaker than them? What is wrong with these people? Don't tell me it is due to stress or some other nonsense. I know a lot of people who are very stressed out or are carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders and yet they don't go around abusing children and animals and bullying those who are weaker than them. In fact, these people even go out of their way to help those who are less fortunate than them. Why don't those abusers and bullies go and pick on someone their own size? Cowards. I think the most suitable punishment for those who do these kind of despicable things is to do to them what they did to their victims. Agree with me?
