About Me

My photo
As I have more photos of food than I care to count, I thought why not I share my humble findings with anyone who stumbles upon this blog. Nothing fancy.....cannot afford it lah.....not with my kind of salary....sigh (hinting to my boss). Sorry about the not so professional looking photos. Cannot afford to get a better camera yet (another hint). I also like to browse online shopping sites for the fun of it. Quite interesting, you know. But.......real shopping (you know... drive to a shopping complex, fight for a parking space and jostle with the other shoppers inside the complex) is not my cup of tea, heh, heh. So....I just might add some more online shopping site links here (those that I think are interesting lah....you know..not those common ones). So, if you are like me, do keep an eye on the shopping column on your right, eh? I also like to think about and dissect quotes of famous and ordinary people. Aaand....I also like to ramble about things and people I observed everyday. By the way, anyone of you want a pet? Have a look at the sidebar (Please Help Them). These adorable animals are waiting for a loving person to adopt them. Buuut....remember, a pet is forever. No abuse.

Poon Choy (Canton Palace Restaurant & Lounge, Ipoh)

Dad treated us to a dinner of "Poon Choy" on a Saturday night at Canton Palace Restaurant & Lounge, in Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh. Having placed our order over the phone two days earlier, we went there to discover that there has been a screw up about the time........an hour later than what we had said over the phone (3 times too, I must add). We were told by our waiter that we have to wait for about 40 to 45 minutes........he was very apologetic about it and was humbly explaining to us what happened when another guy who seem to have more authority interrupted him to say that we only have to wait for between 15 to 20 minutes. Okkkk, fine (some of us have worked in the service industry before).......we decided to keep track of the time and what do you know.......our "poon choy" arrived 40 minutes later. In the meantime, we were served a plate of stir fried "choy tam" to line our stomachs (so to speak) while waiting for our "poon choy" to arrive.
Anyway, that issue aside, the "poon choy" was good. The serving is too big for 4 persons........more suitable for 6 persons.......had to "ta pau" the rest, heh, heh. (Know something, the "poon choy" tastes even better after it has been left overnight leh.) The items in the big pot included prawns (quite big prawns too), roast duck, "char siew", broccoli, Chinese cabbage, Chinese mushroom, stewed pork, etc. This dish comes with 4 different types of sauces, all of which are tasty. Digging into the pot to see what else are there under the layers of food is fun too. Good topic for conversation around the table. By the way, there is complimentary dessert of iced snow fungus with wolfberries drinks for us......don't know how this arrangement came about. Forgot to ask. Service at this restaurant is good...........attentive and prompt. Polite and humble too. This, we like.
Canton Palace Restaurant & Lounge is a corner lot at Jalan Medan Ipoh 6, Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh.
