Older And Wiser Kopitiam At Bandar Baru Menglembu, Ipoh

My eyes sparkled at the pictures which my friend, May Tan, posted up recently in her Facebook and they got me smitten... She used to tell me that whenever food is the topic, my eyes will sparkle!  hahahaa.. That is her way of describing my passion for food.  Am I really that obvious?  In cantonese, it is called "Wai Sik" meaning I like to eat anything edible!

Back to the topic... since I did not know where the place was, she took the trouble to wait for me at the Farlim traffic light and from there, she led us to this place called Older & Wiser Kopitiam in Menglembu.... it was lunch time when we reached and we had to wait for a short while before we were seated.  We didn't order much because we were still full from our breakfast....
Wanton Noodles....
Roasted duck to go with the noodles or rice...
Roasted and BBQ Pork...
Crispy and sweet....
These suit me real fine... not too fat and not too lean...
A small bowl of "Chap Choy"
Very nicely done!
For the three of us, the bill came to RM29 with drinks.
I think it is not too expensive...
Heard that the Nasi Lemak is also nice here...
So I think we will come back again for sure!


Here is the address... 
No. 17, Persiaran Kledang Timur 21, 
Bandar Baru Menglembu, 31450 Ipoh, Perak.

    Did you all finish the chap choy? Those that I ate before are very sour and spicy. Is it very sour and spicy for yours?

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....
