Signature Dishes In Weng Kee Restaurant, Ipoh

A nice gathering this evening with my ex-colleagues, in fact, an unexpected dinner at the last minute. I suggested going to Weng Kee Restaurant and all readily agreed... Since I was a bit late, I told my friends to order first and I only named two dishes.  Upon arriving my friends asked me why I like coming to this restaurant.  They experienced something discouraging when they were ordering the food ... well, I told them that it was not surprising... as long as the food is fine, I will "overlook" the weakness....

Ok, I will not talk about the unpleasantness 
Allow me to just focus on the pleasure of food....
My friends ordered Sambal Petai... (stinky beans)
Sambal Kangkung....
Their signature beancurd....
Steamed yam with dried shrimps... 
A popular dish among us!
And the limelight of the dinner was the Buttered Fish...
My friends had not tasted this before and it was a Thumb UP from everyone!
And for this dinner, the bill came to RM105.00
Before we left, the lady boss flashed her smile and said "Thank You"....
 It caught my friend off-guarded.... 
hahahahaa....
It was a pleasant evening after all....

    If unpleasant, even if the food is good, I have my pride and my dignity. I am old now - in my younger days, I would just scold them . These days, I would just go elsewhere quietly - they're not the only people selling food in town - would not starve to death. This kind of people need to be taught a lesson - just boycott them.

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....
