Chee Cheong Fun, Canning Garden

Since we are always passing by this van selling chee cheong fun parked under a tree along Jalan Canning Estate next to the petrol station, we decided to try it out one weekend. Not bad, you know. The sauce is thick and flavourful. Completely coats the chee cheong fun which is smooth and yummy. The portion is on the small side but good, nonetheless. Oh yes, the van can be found at this spot only on Saturdays and Sundays (and public holidays, I think), so, don't go looking for it on other days.

Turf Club Laksa, Ipoh

A last minute decision to have lunch at Pusat Makanan Ye Sing located at Jalan Dato Megat Khas, Taman Bandaraya, Ipoh saw us all opting for the stall selling laksa (Turf Club Laksa). The Assam Laksa is good. Not too sour and not too spicy. Just right. The soup is quite thick too. On the other hand, the Siam Laksa is not that good. Not 'lemak' enough. The portions are a bit on the small side, so big eaters might have to order 2 helpings.

Spices Of Penang, Ipoh

Seeing this outlet that opened not too long ago, we decided to check this place out. Service is messy. The items that we requested (additional sambal, the bill, etc) either took ages to arrive or never arrive at all or the wrong thing arrived. No experience, maybe?????? Anyway, sis' order of kampung fried rice is a disappointment. Not tasty at all and the anchovies.......how long have they been left outside their container, ah? Tough as leather. My order of Penang spicy fried noodles is not spicy at all. Should have left the word 'spicy' out of the name. Then, customers like me would not have felt cheated. The noodles are also a bit too sweet. The chef added sugar?????? A definite no, no in my books. The pineapple fried rice is good though. Dad gave it the thumbs up. Mum's char koay teow is also good but a bit on the oily side. The assam laksa is also good, according to sis who came with her friend on another visit..........not as good as the ones in Penang but better than those in Ipoh.
Spices of Penang is an end lot located at Jalan Medan Ipoh 1D, Medan Ipoh Bistari, Ipoh.

Yes, this is true. While I was going through a difficult period, this person noticed I am not myself and cared enough to find out what's troubling me. On the other hand.......there are also people who noticed and even though they did not say anything, they quietly showed their support for me without asking what's troubling me.

The Artiste Cuisine & Lounge, Ipoh

To satisfy sis' sudden craving for burgers, we decided to go a bit high class and went to The Artiste Cuisine & Lounge for a burger meal. We ordered the fish burger and the chicken burger. Both come with a helping of french fries and some greens. The fish burger comes with 2 pieces of fish fillet. Erm.....the fish fillet is a bit tasteless though and soft. The sauce that comes with the burger is on the bland side too. The chicken burger fares a little bit better here. At least the chicken fillet is not tasteless. Comes with a small plate of brown mushroom sauce.
The Artiste Cuisine & Lounge is located at L1-3, De Garden, Persiaran Medan Ipoh, Ipoh.
