Cong Yin Meat Noodles At Ipoh Garden South

MOST OF THE MORNINGS, my friends and I went food-seeking... The first meal of the day is an important meal, so they say.... and each morning I am always looking forward to having my breakfast with them.  On this particular morning, it is no different, only difference is that one of us could not make it for breakfast and that left two of us only.  Well, no matter... we still need to nurse our tummy to start off the day.... hahahaha.... 

 Well, what to eat and where shall we go, that is always the question on our mind.... Ipoh is very small, we seem to be taking a repetition of food now and then....

Finally after some moments, we decided to go to Cong Yin along Lebuh Raya Taman Ipoh, Ipoh Garden South.... Cong Yin literally means "Scholar" ... and I wonder why the owner has this name in mind when he opened this shop .... hmmmm..... Cong Yin is a pork noodles shop and it draws crowds especially on every weekend....

We made our orders upon entering the shop.... 
They have Bah Chang hanging in front of the stall.... 
But we ordered these as our "side-kick" instead.... 
Crispy Fried Dumpling.... 
Before the food was served, we had our dessert drink....
I like this warm water chestnut with fresh corns.... 
It cost around RM3 a bowl..... 
And after a few minutes, my serving arrived...
With pork noodles, I always opt for Loe Shu Fun...
I am not sure how much it cost now...
For a breakfast meal like this, it is normally around RM10 per person anytime!
So that explains why I do not take lunch on most days!!
hahahahaaa....

    It is nice to have kaki makan who do breakfast with you.

    The full name of this pork noodles is 状元及第 noodles (Cong Yin Cup Dai), literally translated as "May you be the first rank at the examination for the Hanlin Academy". The famous Ming Dynasty scholar 'Loon Mun Chooi' who was born poor studied very hard in order to pass with distinction in the imperial examination. He grew vegetables and sold them around the neighbourhood to earn a living. One of his neighbours, a congee seller, frequently bought vegetables from the scholar. Whenever the scholar delivered the vegetables to him, he would treat him with a bowl of porridge laden with pork innards. Despite passing the imperial exam with the highest distinction, the scholar did not forget the kindness of his neighbour. He returned to the village for the tasty porridge. 'Cong Yin Cup Dai' was the name he gave the porridge.

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....
