Treasure Pot 'All-You-Can-Eat' Steamboat @ Ipoh

The only 'all you can eat' steamboat in Ipoh that offers sliced pork. Located at Festival Walk, few doors away from Sushi Zento.

Last time, this restaurant was going ala carte, prices were rather high, so we never went in to eat and we do see it quite empty most of the time. But then, it changed to an 'all you can eat' concept, you need to book your table! 

Well... It's not really RM25 for everything. You can opt for upgrades to better things, like better broth, better fish and better other things. But to us, the basics are quite good already. We didn't do any upgrades.

Koka Purple Wheat Noodles with Chilli Lime dressing

Saw this at the supermarket. Attracted by purple wheat noodles and the dressing.

The raw noodles look so shiny.. Like waxy.

Laksa Pokok Limau @ Kuale

The latest laksa fad to hit town, but has made many addicted to it. I think it's here to stay for a long long time, and I heard from a friend that it even has spread to Ipoh.

I myself, am a laksa addict. I leave almost nothing in my bowl or plate. Not to be confused with the rich coconutty laksa from the south , Northern laksa is light, spicy and sour, and made with a beautiful  aromatic fish broth.

Penang Road Chendol

I came here with some relatives who came back from America for a visit. 

They wanted to fill their tummies with as much Malaysian food as possible before flying back. And when we sent them to catch their flight in Penang, it became a chance to go eating around. Our relatives used to patronise the stalls at Penang Road many long years ago... And so there we went.

Penang Road Chendol.

I wonder what's with the crazy long queue for the cendol. Uncle and auntie queued, so we queued. Wasted my calories!!! Imagine the palm syrup and coconut milk! That's my sugar quota for the day! That makes me so geram leh.

After wasting my calories at the roadside Penang Road Chendol, we walked a Penang Road 'Chendul' shop. More regrets.

The Penang Nyonya Otak was the only thing we nodded our heads. Soft custardy steamed fish with the right amount of spice and seasonings. 

Laksa... Better go eat elsewhere, seriously 

Rojak , like that only. Okla, so so. 

So what made this place so popular, with all the proof pasted on the walls?? 

Maybe I'm too dumb.

I don't know and I don't understand.

Tim Ho Wan @ KL

I came here today... Thinking the queue is going to be crazy....

I arrived at 6, saw around 15 people queuing... Not that bad eh. But my friend won't be arriving yet. And so... I came back again at 6.30pm... Darn! More than double are waiting. My friend and I just queued up and chatted as we waited. It's been many years since we last had a catch up. And it took us around 30 minutes to get a table. Not too bad :-)

Tenka Noshoku @ Kuale

Tenka Noshoku..... Deliciousness on Earth :-)

Kuala Kangsar is a district with many small villages all around. And one of them is Jerlun.  

Most of the villagers are of Chinese ethnicity working in the agriculture sector, mainly rubber estates. Nowadays many no longer follow the ways of the parents and have ventured elsewhere to seek employment.
