All By Myself In The Best Restoran, Ipoh

The Best Restoran, it is named.... but is it really the best?  :)

I went to The Best Restoran this evening for my dinner.  This is my second time there but I have not blogged about it before because then I did not know what the name was and secondly, I think I hadn't start blogging then...

But what I did know that this restaurant (Ipoh has many restaurants with or without air-con, they are also called restaurants) serves the most varieties of soups.  I am a soup lover, I drink any kind of soup as long as not too bitter... and since I am feeling kind of "soupy" this evening, I opted for this soup restaurant....
While waiting, I noticed these herbs displayed on the walls...
Anyone can tell me what those words mean? :)

Upon entering, I saw a few patrons having this on their table...
Feeling curious, I ordered one too..
Double Stewed Coconut With Scallop...
Inside consists of black chicken with lots of herbs and One scallop....
The soup has a nice coconut fragrant... something special a bit ... pricing at RM16
For myself, I ordered a mini claypot of Lemon Grass Chicken....
I love the lemon grass smell....
The chicken is beautifully marinated and soft... just nice for me...
Dipping them in "cilipadi" and putting them into the mouth... hmmm...
Satisfying... for a price of RM6
Well, that is my dinner...
The coconut soup is quite special actually...
It can be shared by 2 or 3 depending on how soupy you are...
As for me, I don't mind drinking it All By Myself...

    I have never seen anything like this coconut soup. I love soup, too! We eat it many times a week. Here, they are saying that coconut milk, water, and oil are very good for your health.

    Wow! you have not started blogging when you first dined there. That was so long ago!

    I love that type of soup in coconut. They are nutritious!

    I don't think I can finish drinking the coconut soup all by myself. I have tried this coconut soup before - very "sweet" - taste from the coconut flesh. The rice looks good though for RM6 only.

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!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
