Tasty Treat At Kok Thai Restaurant, Ipoh

Last night we were treated to a scrumptious dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Bil Chia, so nice of them to invite us out to Kok Thai, our favourite restaurant.  At 7pm or so, we arrived at the restaurant and knowing Elin and her hubby, they were already in the restaurant, they are always the punctual ones!

If anyone were to come to Ipoh or if there is any gathering, I would highly recommend this restaurant for their food are quite flavourful (according to my own taste) and the prices are quite reasonable too.

Back to our dinner, not wanting to waste much time, Elin ordered the dishes and while waiting, we had a wonderful time of bonding one another...
In no time, the first dish is out... Claypot seafood...
This has been shown in my blog for countless times already!! 
That shows how "popular" this dish is... at least to me...
hahahaha...
Second dish is also a claypot dish... but it is filled with greens...
Very tasty because of the "wok hei" and the some salted fish in the dish as well...
Braised yam with three layer pork... 
Words are not needed here...
 Assam curry seafood...
Another popular and appetizing dish!
 Elin ordered another extra plate of noodles.. 
Sam See Meen... 
Indeed it was very "yup mei" too!
With the four dishes and rice plus noodles, 
Imagine how full we all were!
For a dinner like this, it cost around RM125...
Is it reasonable? 
Thank you once again, Mr. & Mrs. Chia 
for the wonderful and fulfilling dinner...
Indeed Food does bring us together 
And hope we can have this more often!
hahahahaa...

    Good food, good company and best part is the price. Am drooling over the assam curry seafood. That dish itself is enough for me to finish at least 2 bowls of rice. Glad that everyone has a delightful dinner.

You were there...but I did not order this, something else...stuff the pork in mantao one. I'd love the assam seafood too...and sure would want to try the noodles. Ahhhhhh....Elin's treat, eh?

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....
