Hock to Xuan Xin Steamboat ..

After my gym and Peter's badminton sessions with his buddies, we both decided to go for something light .. ( yes initially we thought we wanna go for porridge steamboat .. but when we arrived the place, we realised it was a buffet style ... so , from light to heavy ...... hahahaha )

The price was quite reasonable with the amount and quality of food they served .

We Chose the Porridge and Ocean King soup base ... The Porridge was Good .. As I am a ginger lover, I requested for More ginger and wow .. really good
The Ocean King is so so nia ... So next time NO NO for us ....






Seafood should goes in the porridge base... We put in the dried oysters , cuttle fish , big pieces of fish meat , prawns and YES My favourite spring onions .... Yummy








The porridge is really sweet after all the seafood. We put in prawns, cuttle fish , dried oyster , fish Meat .... Wow ...







This is a good place to go for steamboat ....

Hock till Ipoh ... Part 3

We headed to Tambun, where we can find famous and fresh Pamelo. Malaysia Pamelo is originated from Ipoh I think ( ??? )

We can basically get the fruits anywhere at Ipoh town , but the freshness and the price wont be the same .. compared at tambun.

The place behind the shop where they stored the fruits ...

The Famous Pamelo .. per piece is only RM8.50 , was told in Penang was RM10.00 per piece

The Fresh Buddha's Palm. The aunty told us that the fresh fruit is usually for prayers and they usually process it to Jeruk' . The taste of the fresh fruit is Bitter ...

The Green Kam .. very sweet ...

The ReD Dragon fruit.. 1kg is RM5.00 and 2 Kgs is at RM9.00

Good DEAL ? No idea .. cos i dont really like the fruit ... :P

The Cikus !!!!! Aunty was telling that the sharp shape the flesh is smoother and the round type the flesh is rougher ... Anyway to me I missed out Ciku tree at my Kampung !

Hock till Ipoh .. Part 2

After our heavy lunch at Yee FAtt , Curry Mee , we decided to walk to the Tow Boh Kong temple across the street. In front of the busy crowded temple we saw one bIg stall selling Mee Ku Kuih .. I believed there is around 20 workers making the Mee Ku and we decided to try out the Longivity Bun , which the lady told us the filling is pandan lotus , normally those buns the fillings will be peanuts.

The King of the Mee Ku ( Rm80 per set ) Very cute and the Ku ( tortoise) made me think of Nemo ... hahahah see those eyes.... ???

The workers is preparing the head and tail for the Mee Ku

The Longivity Bun that we bought back to Penang. The fillings was good, not too sweet ... Nice !

The Yellow Mee Ku , I think we can get during the 9th Emperor Festival only ... ?? .. Maybe ...

The Bigger Yellow Mee Ku with some writtings .... Very cute ?

Can you see the flour for the Mee Ku behind the stall ? Guessed how many Kgs they used for this 9 days ???? Un-imagineable

The workers busy packing and attending non stop customers ....
