My Not-So-Healthy Dinner In Gunong Rapat, Ipoh

Yes, I know I am not being obedient this evening... when my friends came to pick me up for dinner, they suggested going to Gunong Rapat for fried noodles.  Fried noodles?!?  Oh dear, my poor throat.. but I didn't want to be a damp blanket because another friend was waiting for us at the stall...

Leaving no choice, I followed suit, silently praying that my poor body will be able to endure the "heat" from the "wok."
 We reached here around 7pm... it was still bright then....
This stall is just opposite a primary school in Gunong Rapat 
and they used charcoal to fry the noodles...
A rare sight nowadays....
 We sat as far as we can to avoid the heat from the wok...
Famous for their Sambal Belacan... Great combination with the noodles!
My "unhealthy" dinner for tonight....
Cockles, prawns and eggs with meehoon and flat noodles...
Cost around RM4.50 per plate...
Another not so healthy kind of dessert....
Plate of rojak (various fruits) from a stall in Perak Stadium food court...
Small portion cost RM7...
Dinner is completed....
Hope my voice will still be "around" tomorrow....

    The fried noodles looks too good to resist. Hope your throat is alright after taking the fried stuff. Drink tea to get rid of the heatiness in your body.

    Stir fry only. Not deep fried so your throat should be ok if you drink more leong sui after that.

    Haha, I am definitely more obedient than you...I won't mess with a sore throat especially...it can take so long to recover! Hope you get well soon :-)
    The prawns do look very juicy, and it's amazing that they have five of these in a plate of Char Koay Teow! The prawns in Penang's Char Koay Teow are larger but they are very rare and precious though :-P
    Take good care, and stay away from unhealthy food! ;-)

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....
