Trying Out Indonesian Dishes At This Dish, Ipoh

TRYING OUT NEW PLACE...  The six of us went to a new place to try out their Indonesian dishes for dinner yesterday.  Actually it is not a new place, just that a new owner has taken over and changed the name of the restaurant, I guess, cos formerly it was also a cafe with a different name.  I asked the staff and he said that this time instead of just western food, they added in Indonesian cuisine as well.  That was what interest us to go.... 
After said that, the place is called This Dish... not sure why the name is just like that... This Dish and the dishes we ordered to try are as follows:
Tomyam fried rice...  Not spicy at all and just two to three prawns were noticeable...  We also shared a plate of Fried Meehoon....  6 sticks of Satay RM12 Eggplant with two different types of Sambal toppings...  BBQ chicken... we like the sauce called Cobek.. a bit sweet and spicy...  Wild ferns... Paku Pakis... And their Signature Fried Crispy Fish Talapia...  And the bill came to around RM136....  We were …

Dinner For Six At Villas Osborne Street, Ipoh

DINING OUT....  This time we went to the Villas, an open air aluminium roofing type of stall along Jalan Osborne.  I brought along a big fish which I bought from an online fresh fish delivery website.  The fish is called Tiger Garoupa, 1 kilogram in weight, cost around RM60-70.  A few days earlier before we went to this place, we asked the boss whether he could steam the fish for us....and his answer was a positive... 
There were six of us for this dinner and we ordered these dishes before.... when the bill came, , my son's eyes expanded automatically... the whole set of dinner cost around RM70 plus only!  LOL... 
Alright, maybe the dishes were not the expensive type... these were what we ordered.... 
Steamed 3 types of eggs....  Roasted Pork with chives....  Another mixed vegetables with sambal.... Braised Pork belly Claypot potato leaves with lots of lard....  And the fish I brought along....  He just charged the ingredients and labour... That means only 5 dishes plus charges...  Actually …

My Third Time Visit And Same Order At Asow Eatery in Ampang, Ipoh

WESTERN FOOD NIGHT...  One of my foodie friends had never been to Asow located at Ampang village and we decided to go there one evening.  They opened another branch in town but we have yet to try.  Before we went, I called up to make reservations just in case, nowadays, with the SOP, there are limited tables everywhere.  As usual, we love to be early birds, reaching there around 7pm and there were only two tables occupied whereas the rest had the sign "reserved" on the tables.  
After walking around the Asow Eatery and Nursery where all the greens are here and there, the food arrived on our table.  Though this is my third time to this place, I ordered back the same dish, again and again!  Very "un-adventurous" of me.... or perhaps I like their Aglio Olio so much that I kept ordering for the very third time.  LOL...  Aglio Olio with grilled chicken.... RM22 They were quite generous with the meat though... However, they should make it make impressive by putting more gree…

Our Rice-less Homecooked Dinner For Four

SENIORS' DINNER....Again we have our dinner at around 4pm plus.  I wonder if this will be our routine time for early dinner from now on.  I really do not mind an early dinner provided I do not go "digging" for food a couple of hours later!   LOL... So far so good, I feel very full till my bedtime which is normally around 11pm plus, giving more time to the food to be digested completely.  LOL...*my own theory*
For yesterday's dinner gathering, I only boiled a pot of soup for the 4 of us.  Went to the market to get a free range chicken, some tomatoes, potatoes, big onions, a big corn and lots of black pepper to add flavour to the soup.  My friend did the other 3 dishes, the greens from her own organic garden, oh, I contributed the prawns from Pantai Remis, given by a nice friend.... And after dinner, we had desserts, Rojak sauce with pineapple and cucumber PLUS red bean sweet soup!   How to feel hungry for the rest of the evening?  LOL.... Feeling too full, we went for…

Shaping Up With Feeling Girl

During this Covid-19 season or Recovery Movement Control Order, I did not go shopping for clothing like those days.  The attires sold in the malls did not attract me the least.  Now the safest thing to do is to stay safe and eat healthily. Despite the pandemic however, it did not deter me from browsing online websites to keep myself occupied with the latest trends and how to look good.  The reason is that I have been gaining weight these couple of months!  I really need to stay in shape and be able to enjoy food at the same time and by saying that, I exercise at least three times a week to keep fit.I take this opportunity to look for some tummy control shorts, something which I avoid wearing now that I am chubby looking. I need to get back into shape, that is why instead of wearing loose shirts, I need a shapewear to encourage me.  And the way I consume my food now, it is making me growing sideways if I am not careful.  I must continue to exercise regularly to sweat out the calories, …

Teochew Porridge At Sin Hup Heng, Ipoh

PORRIDGE DAY...
My first meal of the day was around 11 plus in the morning.  We decided to go for porridge along Theatre Street, the shop is called Sin Hup Heng, Chaozhou porridge (Teochew).  I like the food here cos the dishes are served hot from the kitchen.  As usual, do not go during peak hours like 12-2pm, the place will be packed especially now during RMCO, the tables will be quite limited.  
For some places, it is quite difficult to find tables for 4 especially when it is just a shop lot.  Since there were 4 of us yesterday, the lady boss approached one lady to sit at another table for 3 and she was so nice to give up her table for us 4.  We ordered few dishes and I ended up taking nearly two bowls of sweet potato porridge.  6 dishes in total.... Clams cooked with soybeans...  Watercress vegetables in sambal sauce...  Our favourite fish to go with porridge... Salted Ikan Kembong... Crispy fried pork... a bit on the salty side too.... Goes very well with porridge... Omelette with big onio…

Sharing Our Homecooked Food

POT BLESS...  These few days I have been eating homecooked food at my friend's place.  Each of us bring something over and before we do,  we tell each other on what to cook so that the dishes are more or less balanced.  LOL...  I really prefer it this way, homecooked food is always more healthy, less oily and no Mr. Aji to enhance the flavour.  
These dishes below are on two days' meal, we had our dinner at 4pm for these two days!  LOL... Not sure it is called dinner or not, some called it "lunner" if there is such a word, that is.  :)  We had our dinner early because we did not take lunch on these two days.  Secondly, there is more time to digest before we call it a day.   Our meal for four people....  Prawn and pineapple curry cooked by my friend...  She cook this dish too... my favourite... Best eaten with lettuce which was not shown in the picture... It was only served when it was time to eat! I baked some chicken wings...  Oh yeah, I bought a piece of Otak-Otak from Bee…
