Our Vietnamese Food At Vnam Kitchen Restaurant, Ipoh

I didn't show any of the food pictures yesterday... leaving the Best for today.. *Big Laughter*   One of my friends suggested Vietnamese food and since I had not been there before, I was ALL for it.  I never thought of this place, Vnam Kitchen Restaurant here in town.  A very good suggestion actually... the last time I took Vietnamese food was in Sacramento, the Pho is a very common sight there.

Back to Ipoh, the Vnam was kind of special.... the staff were friendly and nice too.  I was "super hungry" by the time I reached the place, 8pm or so... we quickly ordered some noodles to soothe our stomach...
 Not sure what it is called... but I was delighted with the basil leaves and all..
I like the hot soup too with a dash of lime juice...
and I think it would be great with more of that lime/lemon... 
 The noodles come with this plate of lemongrass marinated meat...
 It comes in a set of noodles plus meat... RM9.90 
As for some side orders, we agreed to their special platter of appetizers... RM26.90
So grateful to this "Leng Chai" (handsome guy) who "demo" to us how it is done....
To make sure we know how to do it the next time, I took quite a number of pics... ahemmmm..
Not sure why the camera angle was not on the Food... hmmm...
Right, I guess everyone are "all smiles" to seeing the demo of a wrapped springroll...
There... it is done... original Vietnamese style...

Here is the "First Piece"... 
Dipped into their special sauce and into my mouth.... 
hmmmmm.... I wanna go for the 2nd piece after that! 


Oh, before we left, the Lady Boss gave us a small gift to the three of us... 
Such a nice gesture and we reciprocated her with our birthday cake.. :)
A very nice gathering with my friends indeed...
We are indeed Blessed..

    Aha! The Leng chai increased your appetite and you snapped so many of his photos! I love to eat Vietnamese food as they have lots of basils and vegetables to go with meat.

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....
