Healthy Punjab Food In Lahat Road, Ipoh

Once awhile, I like to go for Indian cuisine, not the heavy type of meal but the kind of healthy typewhere there is less oil or preferably oil-less.... 

It was on a one fine  and hot day when my colleague suggested going for a capati in old town.... I readily agreed, once awhile it is nice for a change to try different culture food and I was expecting the same shop that we normally go to.... But no, this time he took me to this Punjab shop here along Lahat Road here in Ipoh.
 Restoran Moga Punjab....
Just look at the vegetables... I was already salivating then... 
I love all types of greens especially they are cooked fresh and different from what I normally do...
Cauliflower cooked with chilli powder?
When I saw ladies fingers or okra, I told myself that I must order this!
My colleague told me that they do the capati there and then too...
Fresh from the pan....!
Knead, knead... then.... 
Rolling pin in action.....
And there... my two capati-s!
Ordered a small plate of okra....crunchy and fresh....
And spicy brinjals aka eggplants cooked differently....
I would love it better if they put some tomatoes to make it sweet and sour.. right?
But then this is a Punjab meal... not Reanaclaire's....
Ta.....daaaaa...
Fresh Capati from the pan.....
Healthy Oil-less Capati!

    All the food looks very spicy. Seldom take Indian food except the roti canai. Punjabi capati looks cripsy.

      hahahaa... maybe he mistaken naan for capati! Or perhaps his favorite is naan.. hehehe.. never mind, I am also blur at times.. or should I say, many times! Naan is a bit tougher... capati if fresh is very soft...

    eh, Chapati.. i don't think i have ever eaten a Chapati before though i have heard this a million of times!! but then the ladies fingers surely not my pick lah, i don't eat that, don't like that slimy slimy texture.. maybe i'll just go with the plain Dhaal lah, cos frankly, those veggie really don't seem appealing to me, hahahahaha!! ooopsss but i cannot just say yummy yummy to your food every time right?? :p

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....
