Guessing The Price Right At SPPK, Ipoh

After sending my girl back to her university, I dropped by to pick up my friends in Pasir Puteh. It was almost 6pm and we went to a nearby coffeeshop for our dinner. I have never been there, this shop is called SPPK and when we reached there, there were already five to six tables occupied... 

Either Ipohians like to have their dinner early or.... they want to avoid the 7pm crowd... I think it is more on the latter because I prefer to avoid the crowd and do not have to wait too long for the food... that shows how "patient" I am...

There was a poster written in Mandarin with no picture and my friend told me that the specialty for that evening is the claypot beancurd which cost only RM4!  Obviously we ordered that since the price was special for that evening...
I should have taken the whole picture of the claypot...
Lots of gravy flooding over the ingredients inside..
For RM4, it is definitely worth it..
Homemade also cost more than RM4  :)
We wanted some leafy greens so this dish came out...
Young sawi with roasted meat!
 
And the best but most unhealthy is this....
Crispy Crayfish coated with Salted Egg
I called them "mini lobsters"
They were nicely and evenly coated with salted egg...
And the flesh was very fresh... 

When all was done and finished, we did the guessing game again...
The one who guessed the right price will get a RM5 discount cut from the share...
One guessed RM30, another RM28 and my guess is RM32...
And the actual price came to RM31.80
So I got a discount of RM5 cut from my share.. 
(Never mess with a food blogger, I was told.... )
hahahahaha...

    Depends also one, some food bloggers are those who always get invited to eat free, these type can hardly guess the correct prices also. You are the really pro food blogger XD

      Realgunners, no free makan one unless own friends belanja.... so agak agak the price is around there unless the makan places are out of Ipoh.. then I wouldn't know the standard.. .

    The "Mini Lobsters" look so good!!! Here, people sometimes get a discount if they come for dinner before four. But that is so early!!! That is why the discount, they don't have many people at that time.

    You really know how to hunt for good food at all over the corners of Malaysia!
    Eat banyak and still so slim. I know I have said this many times.
    Crispy Crayfish coated with Salted Egg is heavenly! I can eat whole plate by myself.

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....
