My Friend, My Food....

Let me introduce this faithful old friend of mine from my childhood days... he has been my favourite chee cheong fun seller of all times .. last time when I was young, he used to sell in the back lane of the town houses I used to live and till now, he is still selling by the roadside... well, dont judge him.. I heard he is a rich man, just want to continue selling to pass time......

This morning I went to see him and asked his permission to snap some pictures... with a shy grin, he gave me the green light and I quickly snapped...


can see the big colourful umbrella?


HERE HE IS... my old fren... still has the looks.. one "auntie" thought I was going to publish in the newspaper and quickly posed herself .... so cute....


this is the original chee cheong fun (white flour noodles)


my special plate with all types of sauce...

    Hi ReanaClaire, you sure making me lau nuar for this chi cheong fun. Looks delicious!
    By the way, I don't recognise this location, though I know Ipoh fairly well from old days. Where is it?
    I stayed at Canning Gardens for a year wayyy back in 1972.

    Used to drive very fast at Tasek Bypass enroute to Penang every week on work assignments.
    I love Ipoh...still remember that fellow called, "Spiderman" who used to sell char kueh teow" near Kg, Simee.

    And ha ha, used to poached for fish at Taman Tun Sambathan, with my girlfriend then.
    And was there when that big mountain side came crashing down burying lots of homes and people.

    Also love to eat bak kut teh at Foo Choo Chun street, and that well known curry laksa at I think Brewster road? As well nasi kandar at Goodshed, and at that two shops opposite Tambun bus station.

    Yes, Ipoh holds lots of memories for me, the food and, ahemm, the women. Somehow Perak girls are extremely fair....must be the water, ha ha.
    You have a great weekend, Lee.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m
