We Love Ipoh Group

I joined a group in Facebook recently, it is called We Love Ipoh, City Of Good Food. The group title itself is so alluring that I could not resist being a member. There are so many places in Ipoh that I haven't "explored" as yet where food is concerned. And coming by to this group, I have come to "profit" so much on exotic food places.   We started off by sharing our Ipoh food places in Facebook and from there, we get to know one another.... So imagine how "foodiehappy" I was when one of the group members invited me to have lunch with them! 

It was on a Friday lunch break when I drove to town for our lunch rendevouz in Yum Yum Restaurant.  Apart from the food, I was looking forward to meeting my new friends who share the same interest as I do...
"The Foodie-holics!"
(Hope to meet up with more members later!)
We ordered the Yum Yum lunch set for Friday....
Siamese Laksa!
Thick santan-ic gravy greeted me.....
More flavourful with lime juice....

And crispy "foo pei" as accompaniment...



 A plate of nasi lemak to go round the table.... 
Looks good... but I didn't try cos I was really Super Full...
Full not just with food...
But with Fun and Laughter!
So Blessed... 
Looking forward to another Foodie Outing withmy New Friends!

      Haha!! Young indeed!! :-) I have been encouraging my mom to use blogs and social media to meet up new people, go for new food and try new things....I think it's a very healthy lifestyle. To have a community that could be an encouragement to one another! Way to go!!

    Wahhhhhh!!!! Facebook group also got meet-up. I did not join any, anyone added me I would just leave the group. Too many shares on my News Feed... some/many not even relevant, say, Sibu/Sarawak food...they post pictures of what they had in Penang/KL/Melaka...or things they cooked at home, did not look nice even. Tsk! Tsk!

    I also joined a local foodie FB group called Kuching Food Critic. I were also amazed by how many places and food that I have not been and tried in Kuching.

    That was a very good idea to gather and meet more friends. At least you have a common interest ie food! ^^

    It is so nice to have such a group to gather always. It is so difficult to start our own blogger gatherings in KL. Our jobs and home locations are like 1-2 hours apart.
    The guy in red T-shirt is very familiar to me!!!

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....
