OUR KIDS ARE ALL GROWN UP and flown away from their nests, leaving the old folks at home. Yes, most of my ex-classmates are in the same boat, with children away, we have all the time in the world to catch up with one another now. Every now and then, we find an excuse to meet up with one another,...
WHEN MY FRIEND SUGGESTED GOING OUT FOR DINNER AT LAN JIE, the first thing that came to my mind was the Rawang Famous Steamed Fish restaurant in Simpang Pulai. But no, it was not that restaurant along the main road in Simpang Pulai. She told me that this particular restaurant is called Lan Jei...
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, I have breakfast with my Ipoh foodie friends and ended up taking all these that I missed having! During my absence, a few of them posted up their meals on Facebook and they really left me drooling over them in Johor. Now I am back with a vengence.... Food Vengence!
TOUCHING IPOH SOIL SAFE AND SOUND!! Landed safely after a half hour delay at the JB airport, the flight is supposed to be at 11am and I reached the airport around 10.20am. I thought it was a bit rush for me but after getting through the gates, the announcement came. So 11.30am it was...
IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE I ATE WITH MY FOODIE FRIENDS... To be more precise, it has been more than ten days or so. Yes, miss catching up with them and this morning, I quickly made appointment with both of them before they are "booked" somewhere else. LOL...I had a number of things to get...
I THOUGHT I COULD NOT MAKE IT FOR THE GATHERING LAST SATURDAY due to an appointment in the evening. But it was cancelled at the last minute and I was glad that I could make it to my ex-classmates' gathering after all. At our age now, we try to make it to meet up as whenever the opportunity...
Built in 1893, the story of Han Chin Villa is formed by miner Towkay Leong Fee in a double-storey shophouse where the Villa stands today. The club membership was restricted to Hakka miners and it was a place where they could connect with their colleagues and friends from home, smoke opium, and...
FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS, I TOOK HEALTHY MEALS such as the below.... Not actually I am looking for something healthy but kind of missing the Indian taste such as the capati and the naan. Both are practically oil-less? It started off with a message from my ex-colleagues sending an invite to an open...
STRAIGHT TO LUNCH after having done all the household chores in the morning. After a few whatsapp messages, I drove straight to Pasir Puteh to pick up two good friends of mine. During the twenty minutes drive to their place, my mind was filled with where and what-to-eat. By the time I...
I REALLY HAD A SHORT MEMORY... Just last week, I suggested having dinner with a couple and we decided to have it last night. Thank goodness she whatsapp me to remind me of the dinner yesterday afternoon, I have forgotten all about it!! It would not be a problem but it definitely is when I had...
DURING THE DAY, I NORMALLY GO BREAKFAST, BRUNCH OR LUNCH with my group of friends and at the same time, catching up with them on life updates. I need my "battery charge" especially on the first meal, something heavy in the day and lighter in the evening. But most of the time I end up taking two...
EACH MORNING I MUST GO FOR MY FIRST MEAL... OUTSIDE... No eating at home if I can help it. And the one shop I am missing badly and dearly is Hong Hin coffeeshop which offers the best Hakka noodles from the yesteryears till today! Yes, I love going there for breakfast but I must be early.
CRAVING FOR CLAYPOT CHICKEN RICE ONE EVENING... and ended up inviting my friend for dinner together at Ipoh Garden Medan 2. We went to this shop called K-Ten, not sure why it is named after K and 10 but I know the original shop is located in Bercham. Parking is a bit difficult in Bercham because...
I FIRST HEARD AND CAME TO THIS SHOP CALLED HOONG THO SINCE THE 1970ss.. and today the shop is still standing steadily in the heart of old town, Ipoh. Oldies like me and those born earlier, should know that this shop was once a popular spot for weddings held during yesteryears. Until today Hoong...
MET UP WITH MY FOODIE BUDDY FOR BREAKFAST.... it has been some time since we last got together. Due to our busyness in our daily lives, we did not meet for quite some time already. No wonder life has been kind of quiet since I came back to Ipoh. That should not be the way... Food must...

MY FOODIE FRIEND HAS FOODIE EYES, she saw someone put up in social media, a stall within a home compound in Menglembu. Needless to say, that lured us to go seeking the place... food knows no bounds and while I drove into the narrow road, the other two pairs of eyes started to rove the right and left...
TIME FOR SOMETHING APPETIZING AND THAI-ISH... and the shop I like to go for Thai food is Sabay in Bercham. Husband and wife team, if not mistaken, the wife hails from Thailand and she is the cook behind the scene. There is a selection of dishes but I do not know why I keep ordering back the same...
THE FIRST TIME I TRIED THE ICE CREAM IN MILK COW, I felt like I was drinking milk powder... the ice cream was so milky and creamy, just direct from the cow except that it is not liquid but solid texture. I though there would be no second visit from me... however, my friends suggested that I try other...
AS I GET SMALLER AND YOUNGER EACH YEAR, the younger generation grows OLDER... soon, they are out from their homes and start working elsewhere... anywhere except in Ipoh. My niece graduated last year and she is now working in Kuala Lumpur. Still under probation, no doubt but after receiving her...
