Tremor Lunch At Full Go Roast Chicken

IT LASTED LESS THAN TWO SECONDS.... 

We were taking our lunch at Full Go Restaurant, famous for their Roast Chicken roasted in stone kiln.  The tour guide told us this is a Must Try dish while we were there.  Situated in Yilan nearer to the eastern part which is near to the affected earthquake in Hualien.  It was the fifth day after the major earthquake and tremors were felt numerous times each day.  But we did not really experience the tremors until that moment when we were having our scrumptious lunch.

The moment after the two seconds tremor, we asked ... "Did you feel it?"  Then my daughter-in-law received a warning alert message on her phone.  Should we make a run outside, I asked them... 

We looked around the restaurant, nobody made a dash towards the door or anything.  It was like nothing happened, everyone carried on eating as if nothing happened.  Then the tour guide came over and asked us whether we felt the tremor... Of course!  LOL... He said no worries, these tremors are common after the major earthquake... aftermath... no need to panic.... 

And so we carried on eating with an unease heart... LOL... 

This is the name of the place... 

I know I will definitely forget the name when I come home... 

This is their famous roast chicken...

I like it cos the skin was thin and crispy...

Spring onions omelette...

Some greens... 

Fried rice cake which we did not finish... 

The total cost.. 1300 NT around RM160.... 

 

Birthday Celebration At Loon Sing Restaurant, Johor

WE CELEBRATED A FEW DAYS EARLY for Andy's birthday, the actual day is a weekday so it was not so convenient for those who are still under employment.... LOL... 

I asked the birthday boy where he wanted to go and have his big feast and he suggested Loon Sing Restaurant.  Well, seems that his choice suited his sister real fine too, both of them and their spouses love the food there.  

As far as I can remember, this restaurant served Hockchew food, a few years ago they had red wine chicken and the noodles were fried differently, with peanuts as toppings.  Anyway, according to the staff, they do not have these in the menu already, maybe different owner/chef now.  

I let my son did the ordering, since it was his big day, let him enjoy eating his favorite dishes.  We also invited his in-laws to the dinner, they are very friendly people and I always get to eat their homecooked dinner every time I am in Johor.  

Dishes we enjoyed on that evening.... 

The main attraction is the one facing the camera... 

BBQ pork ribs... 

Tung Po Yuk eaten with Mantau dumplings...

Lots of collogen... 

Claypot sea delicacies... 

Two types of prawns...

Cereal and buttered on each side... 

Mixed vegetables...

Total cost RM500 plus...

And one to remember us on this day.....

LOL... 

 

To South For Dinner At Lao Er Steamed Beehoon, Johor

DOWN SOUTH.....

Flew from Penang International airport to Senai, Johor at 8.10am via Air Asia.  It was only an hour flight and definitely much better and cheaper than driving.  

And here I am all ready to fly.... LOL... 

Son picked us up from airport at around 9.30am and off we went for our breakfast which I did not take any pictures.  Come evening, we went out for dinner at a new shop which my son recommended, something new, something different.  The dishes were all kind of "steamed" ... no dark sauce nor oil whatsoever.  They did not look appealing but I do welcome dishes such as these, if possible, I refrain from taking oily food.  

It was raining when we reached LaoEr Steamed Beehoon

We ordered these for 4 adults 1 toddler...

Steamed meehoon with salted fish meatloaf... 

so it is called... RM17.90

Steamed meehon with ginger chicken.... RM15.90

Steamed Meehoon with ginger fish.... RM18.90

With curry chicken RM15.90

This is called Dad Style Lady Fingers...RM9.90

Don't ask me why.... 

I ordered because I like okra... 

Lotus peanut soup which I love very much... RM10.90

And these were our dinner on the first night.... 

Total cost RM105 including drinks... 

After dinner, everyone looks happy!

Not so sure about the one who paid the bill.... 

LOL.... 

Early Spicy Breakfast

WOKE UP LATE...  supposed to go out at 7.20am with my neighbour but my alarm did not go off so I could not make it on time.  Quickly called my neighbour to wait ten minutes to get myself ready.. aiyah... 

And off we went to town to make reservation for roasted pork leg and roasted pork, reserved for Chinese New Year which is three weeks away.  Good food needs to book, so it seems here in Ipoh.  The roasted pork boss knows my neighbour well and before we left, he gave us a packet of roasted pork for breakfast.  LOL....

We had breakfast at Villas, in another part of town.  Breakfast this morning was so so, the curry noodles was too spicy for me.  I ordered a plate of economy noodles to "pacify" the spicyness in my body.  

RM3 for a plate .... 

Goes well with the roasted pork.... 

All the fats!!

No wonder I am now on cholesterol meds!

My neighbour ordered beef noodles....

RM10 which is a good deal with so much toppings!

Another friend ordered their dry curry version....RM7

Oh, the curry soup was also RM7.... 

No more ordering that... too spicy for me...

Breakfast for 4 persons.... 

Definitely will not be going back here for awhile... a long while...

Little Katong And Wong Zhi Noodle House In Ipoh

REACHED IPOH AROUND NOON and we did not want to go anywhere far for our lunch.  Thinking of the workload, cleaning house and clothing, I just wanted to go back fast and then have a good rest.

Nearby with air con, we entered Little Katong cafe in Canning Garden.  I was surprised to see that most of the patrons were in my age category, all seniors so I bet the food and prices here must be reasonable.  LOL.. 

Ambience is also not bad, clean and welcoming.... 

The entrance on the left of these pictures above....

Camera eats first....

Eggs over garlic toasted bread.... 

I like it because the bread is still warm and crispy...

I think it is around RM6.90...

I ordered a bowl of Laksa... RM12.90 if not mistaken...

I think I can skip this the next round...

Too sourish for a senior like me... 
hahahaa..

The next morning the three of us had our breakfast in Wong Zhi Noodle House...

I was told that there is a branch in Puchong too...

When we entered, there were only two tables occupied...

Half way through, the place was nearly filled up....

I tried their curry version....RM8.90

Their Kai Si Hor Fun is worth trying... 

I think it is also around that price....

Yes, each of us ate one bowl each... 

A heavy breakfast for me...

So no lunch for me after eating this portion!

A Satisfying Meal At Winn's Cafe, Penang

JUST TYPE IN THE WORDS NYONYA FOOD IN PENANG and a list of places will come out from the browser.  That is what I normally do when meal time comes and I do not know where to go.

And Winn's cafe name came out on the list, since we had not been there, we decided to give it a try.  Three of us went during lunch time and yes, do call up to make a reservation just in case.  Some cafes need to book while some will say, just walk in or wait patiently outside if they are full.

Nowadays bungalows on the main roads are turned into business shops or cafes/restaurants and Winn's is one of the latter.  Very homely styled with ample parking in the compound.  Nice ambience inside and the food did not disappoint us too.  The three of us had the following dishes....

Nasi Ulam.... mostly raw greens cut up and mixed with blue pea rice...

We ordered a plate to share among us three.... 

Four angle bean aka Kacang Botol...

Made in Kerabu style... sweet and appetizing, I like!

Chicken Lobak....

Curry fish in rich santan gravy....

Ju Hu Char is a must in a Nyonya restaurant....

For three people... 5 dishes in total....

The tab came to around RM150...

After the lunch, one lady walked out with a full satisfying look!

LOL...
