Johor Desserts And Roundup Trip

It has been more than two weeks stay in our new place... soon it is time for us to go back to our hometown...  both of us were really half hearted to leave Johor... only consolation is that we will be back again very soon!

Indeed it is very different comparing Ipoh and Johor... I mean the routine life that we have experienced... many of my friends asked me whether I would be "uprooting" myself from Ipoh to Johor... actually I do not know as yet...  I can adapt myself no doubt about that.... As I always used to say... Give me a Laptop and wifi and I will survive! hahahaha...

So what have we been doing for the past couple of weeks when we were there?  Needless to say.. everything has a balance... We ate a lot... exercised a bit... cleaned some... and travel much....

Here are some Johor desserts which are slightly different from where I was born...
Johoreans call this Ching Tong... 
Ipohians call it Ching Po Leong...
Ice Kacang with Cocoa as toppings...
Something different too!
 Dazzling Bubur Cha Cha....
Need to be shared!
Melon Sago Desserts...
Johor Rojak...
This one with the bunga jintan....
After all the food... 
We worked out almost everyday....
ahemm...correction.... at least I did it trice per week.... 
That sounds more like it, right???
Also relaxed a bit now and then.....
This picture needs no description...
As I said earlier...
Everything needs to be balanced....
Soon it is time for us to leave....
Bye Bye Johor....
Hello Ipoh....
Back to homeland!

  2. I am sure by now you will be missing Johor food and your boys. Then when you are in Johor, you will miss Ipoh food and your girl friends. That will keep you busy travelling to and fro. Hahaa...

  4. The food all looks very good! You need exercise for health, but not to lose weight! You are so nice and slim! Now, why are you having two different cities to live in? And going back and forth?

  9. In the end, you still refer to Ipoh as homeland, so I think you're not so ready to uproot yourself yet. I think, when you decide to stay in Johor for long term, better do it without really disposing of everything in Ipoh first.

    I've seen my milk mother (if you know what that means, nai ma) and my sis's milk mother uproot everything to move in with their kids in another state, only to get depressed after a few months and look for means to move back.

    They said the idea to live with their kids is great, but most of the time the kids are working and they are left alone anyway, and when they moved to a new place, all their friends are not within easy access.
