June 17 Weekend Getaway! Now that i have some time to blog, i want to write some fun and unforgettable time in Ipoh last weekend. My bf ex colleague was getting married and invited us to her wedding lunch (kenduri) in Taiping, and since we're already up in Perak, mind as well just stay a night in Ipoh town. My bf and i were very excited about this trip to the extend of not able to sleep the night before ~ which was friday night! We had to wake up early Saturday morning at 4.30am to get ourselves prepared to depart to Ipoh. There are 2 other friends who are tagging along our car. Well of course our journey to Ipoh was slow and fun. The weather was just fine in Ipoh, ~ definitely less hazy compare to KL city. When we reach Ipoh, my took out the map my dad drew for me to the famous Ipoh Foh San Dim Sum restaurant. We were lucky that we don have to wait for long in order to be seated. We shared our tables with 2 lady. Then we started ordering our Dim Sums. Trolley of food will be passing by and you can order all types of dim sum as you wish. Of course, we wont miss out the all time favourite Char siew Pau, Steam Fish balls , Pork Dumpling and Prawns Dumpling. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can tell you the 'Ha kau' is so like those i had in Australia. ~ with 3 tiers of crunchy prawns. Its delicious! The 'Char siew pau' bun is so fluffy, no wonder the pau is so famous in foh san. Then we went to place order for the famous kaya puff in Ipoh and Salted chicken. If you don place your order early, you will not able to buy those delicious pastries. Then we head back to simpang pulai to visit the Caves. Coincidentally, there were a group of people recording the CNY MV for the following new year, so we Keh Poh Chi and mind our own business walking around and criticizing the director of the MV. We left at about 12 ish head on to our lunch in Taiping. The weather was very hot and sunny.. and we enjoyed our day so far. After kenduri session at about 3 ish, we headed back down to Ipoh but we took the wrong exit and we had to use the trunk road from chemor, Tg Rambutan then back to Ipoh town. We have to send James and Sven to the bus station to catch their individual busses to their destination. James back to Kedah, Sven back to KL. My bf and I finally check in to our hotel had a quick bath and waited for dinner time to meet up with the other friends. I brought to ' Wai Sik Kai' near Ipoh Parade to have the most varieties of food and my all time favourite 'Mix fruits Ice kacang' We went to bed early that night cause we were so exhausted. The next day, i met up with my aunt had breakfast with her in some cafe in Ipoh Old town. I had Chicken Shreaded noodles and on the other hand my bf had Curry noodles. Yummy!! When we were done collecting kaya puffs and Salted chicken, we head back to my Aunt's house for awhile before going back to Hotel to check out. Before departing to KL, we made our final stop in Tg. Tualang for their famous Freshwater prawns, and when i say FRESH its really FRESH ~ being tested! ![]() Yummy YUmmy!! Our food trip to Ipoh was Awesome! I haven't had so much fun visiting Ipoh... I think its the matter of who you go with to Ipoh and not just with parents during Chinese New year. I love the trip! *thumbs up* June 03 How I pass my time in office... Besides designing, attending meetings, and drafting at work.. i spent lots of time on facebook too. The first thing in the morning, i'll check my mail and then i'll open a new tab for facebook. I'll leave these 2 sites on for 8 hours. Unless i'm not in office. I'm currently into Restaurant City in facebook by PLAYFISH. I used to go Pet Society..but after awhile, i got bored of it. Restaurant City is a new thing for me now. Everyday when u first log into the game, you will have a quiz to answer, and that you can get a free ingredient everyday. Besides answering quiz per day, you can also visit the 'FIRST TIMER' on your list to get a free ingredient, from then you can exchange your locked ingredient depending on which food you want to upgdrade the level as shown.. You can also collect as much money to refurnish/renovate your restaurant. You might not want to have too much tables at a time cos you do not have enough staff to serve them. They'll leave the restaurant or a 'thumb down' sign.. The higher the gourmet points then you can have a bigger restaurant / entitled to hire 1 more staff. The 'thumbs up' sign is popularity..the max you can go is only 50. So the higher the popularity, the more customer u have in your restaurant. I have a new staff today..and i hired 'wingy'...guess wats his job!?!? Look at him, isn't he cute? you can see them washing their hands after using the toilet too.. Its quite a fun game to waste some time. I need to make sure they are all 79% and above, or else their performance will drop. So in order for them to remain 'healthy' i have to feed them with food or put them to rest. and this is overall exterior look of my restaurant This is how i look like in Restaurant City ok, i hope you guys enjoy the game as much as i do...till then. |
