Nice Varieties At 101 Ban Mee, Station 18, Ipoh

MY SECOND VISIT TO 101 BAN MEE AT STATION 18....

I don't mind coming for my third visit, there are a few more varieties which I would love to taste.  It opens in the morning and by noon or so, the shop will be closed, so the next time I must go earlier to catch the "Water Dumplings" before they run out of stock.  LOL... Quite a distance from my place to Station 18, but food knows no barrier.  As long as there is good company and good food, short or long distance is not an obstacle, right?
This is the shop at the Station 18...
It is called 101... I wonder why.... 
Maybe 101 specifies One and Only One Special... 
It was after 12pm when we arrived... the shop was half closed just after we entered...
Their Fresh Beancurd skin with fish paste is a Must Order....
They are crispy and nice... I wish I could take the whole lot!
But I ended up only two... maximum.... 
This is my order... the normal Ban Mee with spinach... 
Dry version also looks nice.... 
Comes with a bowl of spinach too... 
This is the normal Lor Mee.... 
The gravy tastes like those sharkfin gravy especially when black vinegar is added... 
This is the special Lor Ban Mee with Two Water Dumplings aka Sui Kau... 
We wanted to order the Sui Kau separately but unfortunately, these were the last two.... 
Each bowl cost around RM5-6... 
My third visit will be this order above... for sure!

    Thanks for introducing this place. I love pan mee, but this place is a bit far from my place. Will try to make a trip there one day.

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....
