A cuppa at Kedai Kopi Sin Yoon Loong, Ipoh

It's not a wise move to put two girls in a room, ended up we just managed to have 3 hours sleep before the trip; I was like only using my soul to talk with SK, she is kind of owl-person who is now starting to switch back to normal sleeping habit. All of us must be quite tired and over slept as our departure time is 15 minutes late per our schedule, sound so pro over here, laugh! Heading to Ipoh first before Cameron Highlands to unveil the beauty of the city, was trying to visit for new places than the normal one.

Took some time to locate this Sin Yoon Loong kopitiam, after found it we took some time to look for parking again; parked far away from the cafe, we enjoyed strolling under the not-so-hot weather and clicking on the shutter when something caught our eyes. I assumed this kopitiam is quite famous, full house and we had a hard time to grab a seat, be patient if you go there during peak hour.

We were sharing all the breakfast together, while waiting for our drink we had this rice noodle roll (aka chu cheong fun in cantonese). All Malaysians should have know that every state serve chu cheong fun differently; this one is served together with the pickled green chilies, quite special but I'm not really the chu cheong fun lover. I mentioned before, no price stated for some of the upcoming posts.

Ipoh famous with their white coffee, but I didn't ordered that, I had hot milo instead, the drink that accompany me for almost everyday. My daddy always say that the best coffee taste better if they serve in this classic coffee cup, I think most of the uncle will have this thought too. Daddy did try to have coffee in normal glass but the coffee turned out to be quite sour. So, classic is rock!

Toast with kaya and butter is definitely the preferred breakfast joint in those Chinese kopitiam, I think this should be two set of toast.  

Toast without egg is like a tree without its leaves, and normally you have heard people order like this: Roti egg 1 set, it means 1 set of toast and 1 set of egg. Something special about Sin Yoon Loong is they let us to poke the egg ourselves, I like it!

Ah-ha, the special Caramal Custard (RM2.20) in the cafe, I think this is quite famous in Ipoh as well; I posted this photo in Instagram and straight away my friend knew I was at Ipoh that time. Or only Ipoh serve this during breakfast hour? Laugh. The caramel custard served in cold and well flavored, it's really not too sweet, thumb up indeed. 

Promised ourselves to have a full and burpie breakfast before we off to conquer some of the caves in Ipoh, le journey to be continued...

Where is my energy?

Peri-Peri of my eyes

Still remember that I once blog-ed about the Peri-vileges card I got from Nando's? If you missed that, you can read it here. I like to have little warm thingy waiting me home to surprise me, I got one from Nando's today; the late valentines wishes from them and one FOC Nando's Peri-Peri Sauce if dine-in at the restaurant before 28th Feb, means I still have only 8 days to redeem it. Why don't they send this ahead before the Valentine's Day? Laugh. Still, thank you for the postcard-like voucher, heart it to the max!

I don't think I'll flash this card upon ordering, just have a thought to keep this to myself, couldn't resist to pretty little thingy. Aww ♥

Oh gosh, another trip to Langkawi with family, just a week from now!

Cheng Hwa Seafood Porridge @ Nibong Tebal

It's good to have a group of friends off to travel together, sometimes it's not about the place but the people right? So the Four Leaf Clover (group name who consist of me, Calvin, Sock Keng and Jie Xiang) decided to have a short trip to Cameron Highlands early of the year; we were planning for Ipoh one day trip at first. Since all of them staying at main land, so I need to travel in dark (laugh!) to SK's house and we made up our mind to have sinfully supper as a kick-start for our foodie trip. What's Nibong Tebal best with? Despite of their weekend night market which I never been before, the next will be the Seafood Porridge I guess.

We reached Cheng Hwa Seafood Porridge around 11.30pm where people normally prepare themselves to bed already. But guess what, this is the dinner for Calvin, by this you will know how he get his gastric; dinner, dinnuh seriously?! 

Photo while waiting for the food served. We were suppose to discuss our trip while waiting but we ended up talking crap throughout the supper session. We simply can't focus on the same thing for hours, we all trying to dig more stories, like the say: sharing is caring mah.

Seafood Porridge (4 pax) . RM62

Ta-dah! This is 4 pax portion of seafood porridge which consist only crab I think, and this one we added fish meat as well so that we wouldn't feel humdrum. You can actually order the porridge per person and choose the ingredients you like, they have crab, fish, prawn, minced pork meat and frog; unless you want them all then you can order a big one to share like us.

Another closer shot on the seafood porridge, I wonder why they want to put so much of veggies on top; we couldn't found the fish!

Look at the crab tongs, so fatty right? Frankly speaking, this crab is much fresher if compare with Tak Fok Seafood Restaurant's one; all their crabs are quite huge = a lot of crab meat! The chef help to clout the crab for us which is ease for us, the bad thing over here is the tiny crab shells might drop inside the porridge, I ate some of them but of course I did spat them out. I couldn't fully enjoyed the crab eating session with that, I need to check for the crab shells before I swallow the whole thing.

You guys wonder where is the fish? The brown thingy inside the bowl is that! They are not stingy on giving so much crabs for us (okay, we paid for it), until we almost finished the porridge, there were still have some crabs to grab. This called sinfully supper of the night.

My CNY holidays ended like this. Awwh.

Sweet-tooth

It's the third day of CNY, the environment starting to fade away as some of the people might back to work on tomorrow; I still have time to play around as I took leave for days, I believe that I'll be extremely blue on next week when I facing a mountain of work.  

Just a short update and sweet-tooth is a must during CNY period.

Say good bye to the D.

Happy 2013 Chinese New Year

Hello my dearies, it's the time for Chinese now. I think most of the people are busy-ing with the preparation for CNY reunion dinner, so am I. Yet, I snatch a moment of leisure to update my bloggie first in case my readers have nothing to read with (I think too much? Laugh!). Anyway, there are plenty of posts awaiting to be posted up, please be patient and I have some to-do-items on hand which I'm still procrastinating until now. I should finished them off during this CNY break; last but not least, Happy Chinese New Year to you!

Ps: After-since the technology been evolved, people who easily access to FB, Whatsapp, Line, Viber, WeChat and etc, do you still receive slow but warm wishes from friends? Yes, I did and I sent some as well. The best CNY wishes award (for now) goes to my trainee, Lindsey; received her postcard all the way from Taiwan, big love ♥. HUAT AH!
