My Two Best Chee Cheong Fun In Ipoh

I AM SITTING AT HOME QUIETLY... arranging my favourite album called Food and these pictures below were taken recently.  This post will be all on Chee Cheong Fun in Cantonese, won't be translating them in English for fear that they would sound a bit gross to some and might have some adverse effects on the CCF business.  LOL...

From my younger days, there were mobile vehicles selling food and most of them of them would be stationed at an area for a couple of minutes before moving on.  I grow up eating CCF bought from a back lane, the man with the four wheel bicycle would come regularly at a certain time in the afternoon.  Miss the good old days when everything was so easily accessible....

Nowadays, we have to drive around to look for food and one afternoon, we went all the way to Kanthan, more than half an hour from Ipoh to take our lunch.... and one of the choices sold there was this Chee Cheong Fun with the following garnishing....
This is CCF with the Oink Skin, Long Beans Curry... 
I did not touch that.... too "fattening" for me though I was salivating... 
This is called Anson CCF.. taken in Kampar Road Yee Lock.... 
To me, ok ok only nia... 
Recently I went to taste this CCF in Bercham Woong  Kee... 
I shared with my sister.... 
Not too bad but a bit too much for me to eat them all.... 
The best is still the one in Canning Garden corner shop, just opposite the market... 
Known for his grumpiness no doubt but nevertheless the business is still soaring... 
Another compatible CCF is found in Pasir Pinji 5... 
Ask for a number upon entering the premises and Do remember it... 
Otherwise will wait for hours if one does not remember...
Be prepared to wait at least half hour... 
So must remember to order L size for the CCF...
Otherwise not worth the Long Wait!
LOL....

    I love to eat ccf and will eat the long bean in curry ccf. The oink skins are dried ones so are not fatty so no harm eating them once in a while.

      If you have time you may consider reading the cholesterol myth book. Some scientific articles say dried oink skin does not contribute cholesterol to humans.

    OMG! I am droolimg at all your CCF photos. I love them too and have fond memories eating them from push carts in my neighbourhood in Penang. Those days they tasted good even when I had to squat by the road side to eat.

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....
