Caring Is Not Only Sharing...

MAIN MEALS....  I don't eat much nowadays... ahemmm... just one main meal and sometimes I just leave the leftovers for dinner.  
When I am too lazy to cook, I go out to eat with my friends... 
When I am too lazy to go out, I go to Foodpanda.. they give discounts nowadays, orders more than RM15, I get a 30% voucher.  Not bad, right? However, I really don't like online delivery, somehow the food taste different from what I get outside...
When I am too lazy to cook and too lazy to go out, I make a call to my neighbour..."Hello, Mr... , are you going out to eat?  Where?  Oh there?  Ok, just get me a packet of that...... "
                                                       GOING OUT MOODS....  Mee Jawa at Pulau Sembilan, Pasir Puteh RM5.50 I normally don't fancy Mee Jawa much...  I only like this one from this shop... They are generous with the ingredients and toppings....  Laksa at Man CT, Ampang.... This meal alone cost RM10... Followed by a plate of Rojak RM4 in Taman Cem…

SHORT FINGERS....     And I planted some Ladies' Fingers aka Okra using some seeds given by my neighbour.  He told me that it would take some time to see the "harvest" and he was right.  I planted six seeds in my two posts more than a month ago... and I could only see the harvest this week.  I think it was around two months?  Did it really take that long or I do not have the "green fingers" so they speak... I think I have short fingers cos this type of okra came out stubby and short but very crunchy!
I love ladies' fingers... I used to buy them from the market, either I just steam them or just stir fry them with dried prawns and chili... That is why I tried planting them for my own consumption and it works!  For the first time in 6 decades, I planted something edible!   LOL... 
Taken some time a month ago or so...  Budding out from the seeds....  I didn't know I have to put in fertilizer every two weeks....  No wonder they were so slow! I only got to know thi…

BACK TO IPOH.... and be a good girl, stay at home quietly for the rest of the week until Saturday came, I went out to take dinner.  My friends came to pick me up and we went to Sun Marpoh Restaurant in Ipoh Garden.  During those "un-covid" days, this restaurant is always full of people, some even have to wait outside.  I always avoid going there during weekends.
However, situation has changed.  No more waits and queues even during dinner peak hours.  There were a few empty tables, not surprising now since we were not encouraged to go out.  (Oh, I only go out during weekends after staying at home quietly the five days)  Anyway, it is good to stay safe by going out less especially now.... but somehow we have to help the economy by eating out once awhile... calling me "wai sik"
For the three of us, we ordered three dishes...  Recommended to be eaten with rice...  Fish slices covered with fried raddish, garlic, dried shrimps... etc...  Very appetizing dish! Treasure pot dish…

BYE JOHOR....  We woke up very early and left Johor around before 8 in the morning.  We wanted to have our first meal in Malacca!  And so we did... after driving for almost 2 hours plus or so.  We wanted to walk along Jonker Street so naturally, it is more convenient to have our food taken around there.  Googled a place called Peranakan Place, just along the Jonker Street.  We parked our car five minutes  away and walked to search for it....
There it is...  Must be halal cos there were Muslims and Indians and us Chinese... Muhibbah... Little Nyonya... hahaha...  Cendol is a MUST! We ordered not one but three... no sharing... The fresh santan, the fresh green cendol and the gula melak makes a great combination! We were very hungry.. so no sharing on the main dish too... Nyonya Laksa for us ladies... And Nasi Lemak with Beef for the gentleman... Very generous portion of the beef which was still very hot....  We had a good meal.. And the bill is also good... For the 3 of us... After that, time to do so…

THIRD NIGHT DINNER... 
After the wedding reception, we had a light refreshment at the beach.  They served cakes, cream puffs, egg tarts, cookies and drinks.  Too bad I did not take any pictures of those snacks, all were so tasty that I must be busy eating and mingling around!  Fascinated and captivated by the beach and all, the weather was cooling and nice... hmmm... we should have booked one night and stayed in the hotel!
However, we did not cos we had to drive back to town for the dinner which was held in Loon Seng Restaurant.  It was another half hour away and since it was near to our home, we did not book a night at the Forest City.  Maybe the next round.... hopefully they would not increase the rate much by then... 
To our surprise the restaurant was quite full, filled with other patrons.... one big giant table can only seat 8 persons max.  There were only 7 of us at our table and dishes were aplenty... These are the dishes served... 
BBQ Pork ribs....  Braised vegetables with sea cuc…

WALKING AROUND.... From the hotel room, we walked to the lobby and on the left side of the hotel, there is a small shopping area.  There was no crowd and it was nice walking around.  I was surprised to see two shops selling duty free goods but the sign there written, "whatever bought must finished within in Forest City."  So I did not end up buying anything.  I should have cos they never really checked our car when we drove out from the Forest City.  LOL.. Next time, perhaps!
After attending the wedding function at 5pm near the beach, we left Forest City around 7pm... Of course, we took numerous pictures here and there as if we were the special guests! LOL... Very nice ambience and location to hold a beach wedding.  Just too bad that Mr. Covid is in season otherwise this Forest City would be very popular.   We walked around the garden wedding just in front of the beach... Very nice venue to hold a wedding...  Putting final touches... A simple white cake for decor...  The dolphins …
