Special Steamed Fish In Chemor

COME MONDAY MORNING... I had an early breakfast with my ex-colleagues again, I forgot to take a picture of us, really "muhibbah-styled"... It is nice to get together once awhile to catch up with old and new ongoings that is happening around us. We had breakie in Silibin and I had capati, seems I am into Indian food these days!

 Immediately after my breakie, I parked my car in the office and waited for my two "foodie buddies" to join me for lunch!  Our destination was Chemor and it took almost half an hour to reach.  Anyway, it was still early when we reached Chemor... And we were quite undecided as to which to eat... Fish head noodles or steamed fish with rice??   Then we settled for the latter....
Before we arrived, my friend told me that I might not like what I see... 
Well, nothing so shocking to me... I am used to seeing and eating at sheds....
As long as the food is GOOD!
To quench our thirst, this is a good choice... 
Fresh Umbra Juice in Anchor Beer glass... hahahaa....
WIB to imitate MIB... 
And a cookie to go as "appetizer" before the meal.... 
We were the early birds and we had to wait for more than half hour 
for the chef to prepare the dishes... 
He was still busy "chopping" up the ingredients when we arrived...
We ordered eggs fried with bitter gourd....
Tapioca leaves in garlic... 
And their Special is Steamed Talapia with lots of Garlic, Ginger and Chilipadi!
The fish has no smell and very fresh too...
Three dishes in all... 
And the bill comes to RM47 ($12usd???)
Oooopppsss... don't start eating first... 
Somebody's camera got to "eat" as well before we humans do.... 
hahahaha...

    Those are sweet potato leaves lah, lots of health benefits, they say.

    Egg with bitter gourd? Gotta try that one of these days. Normally, it's bitter gourd with egg.

      Got!!! Of course, there is a difference! This is like bitter gourd omelette - a lot of egg, can hardly see the bitter gourd. Usually, it is fried bitter gourd with egg added, mostly bitter gourd and not so much egg. Salted egg would be great too...and some use century egg as well. All nice!

    I like 2 types of steamed fish.. The "cheong jing" (taucu sauce) and the normal garlic+ginger+sesame oil sauce... I like the fukua chin tan too, but normally I'll stick to fu-yong egg coz the kids like it..

    I always enjoy meeting up with ex colleagues! There is more to gossip and talk without reservations than to meet relatives! Oh dear, relatives can be good actors.
    Wow! Yummy Umbra juice again. When I posted about Umbra juice, it was like kicking up a storm here as it is very rare to find this drink in KL. I believe you guys enjoy ample healthy juices easily in Ipoh.

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....
